The best dining experience we had in Charleston. We sat in front of the oyster bar and watched as all our dishes were prepared. Jerome expertly shucked the cleanest oysters we’ve ever eaten.

Let me start with the food and service, which was overall great and have no complaints there. My friend and I dined here last week on the first night we arrived in Charleston. We had the snapper crudo, oysters, shrimp roll, the steamed grouper in a brown butter sauce and we avoided alcohol. We understand there’s always a risk with consuming raw or undercooked foods, but this is was not our first time eating raw fish and have never had an issue. Unfortunately, I came down with a crippling case of food poisoning hours later and had to be taken to the emergency room in an ambulance from our hotel. I was stunned when the doctor diagnosed me with food poisoning, because this place was very upscale. I tried to get ahold of the general manager, left messages but they have not contacted me back. I would say to the staff to take better care of food sourcing and handling so that future guests do not go through what I went though. I had to cancel a lot of my tours and pre-planned dinners because I was still getting over my food poisoning.

Our group enjoyed the hospitality, atmosphere, food and cocktails. The Quinte is an excellent side street gem. The entire staff was professional, knowledgeable and attentive from the time we arrived to closing time. It was obvious they were happy to be there and took pride in their work. The cocktails were complex and balanced. We tried a good portion of the menu and it was all fresh, of high quality and paced well . We enjoyed the entire experience and look forward to returning.

Loved the atmosphere of this place! Was greeted with a friendly hostess that was able to seat us at the bar on a Friday night. Quick and nice customer service which I love. We ordered two of their most popular drinks, the Speed of Light and Petal Pusher which were okay-both $15 and kind of tasted watered down unfortunately. Ordered the milk bread $7 and petite plateaux $85 which were both delicious! My favorite surprisingly was the shrimp cocktail and cocktail sauce which had cilantro and something else-best cocktail sauce I’ve ever tasted. Amazing oysters, tasty crudo, lobster was great and loved seeing how they torched it. Our bill ended up being $200 including tip for us both for everything mentioned plus 2 beers. I’ll have to remember to ask for club soda and not take them up on sparkling water ($10 for bottle), but we’ll definitely be back to this intimate spot!! Great raw bar!

Dining at The Quinte is absolute delight. The ambience is impeccable. We popped in for a glass of Prosecco on a Tuesday night… and stayed for the BAGUETTE MAGIC MILK BREAD, the Crudo, Shrimp, and Panna cotta. Jamie and Jerome made it an unforgettable experience. Cheers to the team at Quinte!

I had one night in Charleston and was picky about where to eat dinner. SO HAPPY I chose the Quinte Oyster Bar. It’s such a cozy little place off King St, and, honestly, it’s the best oysters I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot, up and down coasts all over the world. So fresh and tasty. The fish main course was delicious, I wouldn’t change a thing. It was filling, savory and refreshing all at once while honoring the taste of the fish itself. The Panacotta dessert was the only one I had a bit of trouble with. It was delicious, but the yellow sauce on top tasted a bit too much like vinegar and I couldn’t get past it. But it was super easy to move it to the side and really enjoy the panacotta itself with the delicious popcorn topping. The bar is very good, with a great bartender that really knows his stuff and can not only make cocktails, but suggests great wine pairings. I would 100% return here! Between two oysters, a cocktail, glass of wine, daily fish special and dessert, it was about $101 + taxes and tip. So not cheap, but worth the price if it’s in your budget.
