Reviews for The Royal Tern in Johns Island, SC
This was one of the best meals we?ve had in Charleston!! We tried a little bit of everything and all was delicious! Excellent... portions as my hubby and I shared lots of things. Honey biscuits, mussels, wood grilled baked oysters, and halibut all reallygood! We would get everything again and next time we?ll make sure to save room for dessert! Read more
So many friends raved about The Royal Tern, and we finally made it! So glad we did. What a terrific restaurant. Everything about... it is just right. There is attention to detail that makes the dining experience seamless. An excellent reservation system (hint:reserve well ahead!) ensures that everyone who is there at any given time receives the perfect amount of attention from thestaff. The staff is impeccably trained? one of the few places I have been in Charleston where this is true? and the food isabsolutely delicious. Everything we ordered was amazingly fresh and served at the right temperature, too. I am so happy to havethis restaurant on Johns Island! Read more
Fantastic meal at the Royal Tern as expected. This is our ?go-to? restaurant when visiting Kiawah Island, and it always exceeds... our expectations. Food, service, ambiance are all first class and worth the splurge. We will be back again next year! Read more

Absolutely on point. From the staff to the service to the food. We got scallop carpaccio, red snapper, swordfish and a delicious... malted chocolate cake. This is a neighborhood gem and worth driving to if you aren?t on John?s Island. Read more
Always a stellar experience. Service is wonderful, and the food is fabulous. I would bathe in the broth for the mussels. They?re... a must have. Along with the Brussels. And you can?t ever skip dessert! Read more
Great atmosphere. Jimmy, our bartender, was on point with our drinks and food. Must visit. Swordfish entree out of this world.... Must have biscuits, like how mom use th make! Read more
This place has been on my check out list for a long time. It does not disappoint! The building is beautiful with just enough... parking. The staff was welcoming even though we showed up early to our reservation. While they weren't able to seat us rightaway, there was another table we could sit at to order drinks while our table was prepped. Delicious drinks. The outdoor patiowas very comfortable and the way the seats were set up felt private. The food was outstanding. We devoured the hush puppies withbutter. The oysters were super tasty. The server, Tanya, was super knowledgeable about everything in the menu and helped guideus to our selections. She had a smile on her face the entire time. We were stuffed and had no room for dessert, but they broughtout a slice of super fluffy angel food cake with sprinkles since we were celebrating my birthday. Fabulous experience.Definitely check them out but make sure you make reservations ahead of time, otherwise you'll be eating really early or reallylate! Read more
