Charleston Restaurants: Grill 225

Updated: Sep 24

Our rating: 3.5 stars

Reservation required: Yes

Dress code: Business casual - everyone was wearing collared shirts and nice pants or dresses.


Price:

  • A bit pricey

  • For 3 people, we had bottled water, an entree, one side dish to share, and dessert for each of us, and it was over $250 


Service:

For the caliber of restaurant, one would expect more attentive service. Our waiter was not great; however, we saw other great waiters working.


Food:

The food was delicious.

The portion sizes were good and filling. We couldn’t finish our desserts because we were all so full. 

For dinner we had: 

  • Filet mignon (one of the least expensive options on the menu) 

    • We got ours done medium well and they went a bit heavy on the “well” The sides were a bit crunchy and it didn’t melt in your mouth like I’ve had at previous restaurants

  • Shrimp & grits (best shrimp & grits Josh has had) 

    • The shrimp are large and fresh

    • The grits are thick and it’s a cream base with bacon

  • A side of jumbo mushrooms 

For dessert we had: 

  • Creme brulee - our rating: 10/10

    • Beautifully decorated, so smooth - perfection

  • New York cheesecake - our rating: 6/10

    • Pretty heavy, not as light and fluffy as I’ve had in NY

  • Chocolate mousse cake - our rating: 8/10 

    • Very light texture, but quite dark chocolate 


Atmosphere:

The atmosphere was great. Get there early and go to the rooftop to enjoy some drinks and cool views of the harbor. 

  • The rooftop bar was awesome. We would go there any time. 

  • They have other menu items than what’s available down in the restaurant. 

  • This is weird but the bathrooms are next level. They’re part of the hotel and they’re just real nice.
