It was a spur of the moment choice to dine here and we are so happy that our other choice for the evening was booked. From the minute we walked in, we were made to feel welcome and shown to our table. Service was fantastic and attentive without being over bearing. The chef, Robert Carter, came by to talk to every table and we were checked on by the front house manager as well. Recommendations were spot on and all four if our meals were all cooked well and tasted perfect. The crawfish stuffed prawns were great and the side of grits were fantastic. They push "Bob's World Famous Coconut Cake" and, man, it is worth every blessed calorie. Will go back as often as I can.

Perhaps because Barony is new or somewhat "hidden" within the Renaissance hotel on a smaller side street, it was fairly empty of brunch patrons when my companions and I dined there on a Sunday afternoon. Selfishly, this allowed us to get a true "white linen" experience-- or perhaps that's just what all guests should come to expect from Barony when they go. The food, service and drinks are all outstanding. The price point is not low, but you will be getting a quality meal here, no doubt: constructed by one of the best chefs in the area. Dishes are classic southern cuisine with a flair for the creative. Portions (be warned) are not huge, but the dishes are so rich, the flavors so complex - that the portions truly seem suitable for the experience. Our table pretty much tried everything on the brunch menu. I actually opted for the salmon salad, which seems/sounds boring, but it most definitely was not and proved to be a good palate cleanser in light of the richer dishes we indulged in. Most of our table ordered the eggs Benedict that day, which were phenomenal! I believe we had the lobster and the crab. The only dish we didn't absolutely love were the waffles. They weren't as flavorful as we hoped they'd be (they were standing in as our "group dessert") - but perhaps that's because we were foolish enough to forego the famous coconut cake, which is--- by far--- the best cake in Charleston! (Tried it during a previous dining experience). All told- Barony is a dining "experience" from top to bottom...soup to nuts. Although upscale, the lodge-y vibe makes you feel comfortable talking boisterously with your group. It's not stodgy-- just comfortable and fun. This is sure to become a staple among the downtown Charleston crowds!

Two girl friends of mine and I went to Barony Tavern last night to check out their Restaurant Week menu. As others have mentioned, there weren't a lot of other patrons. All of the staff was friendly and personable, not just our waitstaff, which was nice. We had a waiter-in-training, Drew and a clearly seasoned pro, Gerard. We had fun joking back and forth with both gentlemen, which definitely added to the evening's enjoyment. They did a wonderful job at answering our questions and overall took care of us. Service did get a bit too slow after we'd finished our entrees (a wait to have plates cleared, a wait to receive our bills) but nothing that marred the evening. As a table, we ordered two smoked beef loins and the corn chowder for apps. When asked, Gerard mentioned that especially at this point in the season, corn is sweet. My friend who ordered the corn chowder enjoyed it. My first bite of the smoked beef loin was odd to me. The bite was only the beef and the glaze. It was sweet and odd! For my second bite, I made sure to have a bite that included all of the dish's components. OH MY GOODNESS! It was sooooo gooooood!!! Mmm, mmm yummy! I'd definitely order that appetizer again. For entrees, two flounders and one filet was ordered. I really enjoyed my flounder. The Fontina fritters were yummy, the fish was perfectly cooked and very light and tasty. I had a bite of my friend's steak and HOLY HECK it was decadent! The steak was tender, the flavors out of this world. The flounder was an excellent, lighter option but that steak was savory, bursting with flavors and from rainbow chard to green Chile Hollandaise, a wonderfully executed dish. Before trying the steak, I also had a sample of the lobster and potato quesadilla which was good, but the steak was the star. We all ordered the coconut cake. I really enjoyed it! My friend has a co-worker who makes amazing coconut cake so she wasn't that impressed. She did tell me this morning that it was WAY more impressive today, after having sat out last night. Sounds like the key to really appreciate the coconut cake it to have it at room temperature. As served, being at a cooler temperature, she initially mistook it to be dry. For a higher end restaurant, we never felt like it was a stuffy experience. Very friendly, personable, and we had no misgivings about being rather loud with our laughter. Also the "captain" came to check on us several times so it's clear that the staff really cares about making a good impression. Very inviting! I look forward to returning to Barony Tavern. Oh and I was concerned based on previous reviews but we did not leave hungry! In fact, we all had to get a hunk of coconut cake to go because we couldn't finish it. Portions weren't skimpy.

Chef Carter has done it again! Loved the atmosphere, the service was excellent and the duck confit was superb. Maybe because it's been such along time since I've had his world famous coconut cake, but tonight it was even better than I ever remember...

Really eclectic decor! I was visiting Charleston for a bachelorette party with 5 other girls. One girl had a lot of difficult food allergies and the chef adjusted his menu to cater to her needs. Then he proceeded to come out to greet us before our meal, then after to make sure we enjoyed everything! The chef was super friendly. The food was absolutely delicious! I cannot find anything negative to say about this place. I left wanting more! I will definitely come back next time I am in Charleston!

Yummy grits and grilled quail Enjoyed their burger and a few cold local beers. Will be back

I'll start by noting that I'm from out of town and selected this restaurant, partly because of the menu but partly because of the restaurant week menu offered. I wasn't aware that it was part of a hotel (Renaissance Hotel - If I'd known, I wouldn't have come, since hotel restaurants in my opinion are notoriously subpar). I ordered from the part restaurant week menu. The soup wasn't hot and was sweet, the fish arrived 40+ minutes later. Both the manager and "chef" apologized. The manager noted one excuse, the "chef" another for the delay. The manager said they would "take care of" the fish- when the bill came the shitty soup and dessert were more than they would've been had I ordered just those items off the regular menu. I will never recommend this restaurant nor will I ever return when in town for business the next time (a quarterly visit).

Very nice bar with odd "art work" that was also a topic of conversation. It is located in the hotel we stayed in which we loved. Pricing could be better.
(3)Julie L.
Chef Carter has outdone himself, fantastic menu - everything we had was presented beautifully and cooked to perfection. Quail & grits (grits to die for!), Carpaccio, Sweetbreads,super-fresh Crabcakes, Crawfish stuffed Shrimp, Fried Shrimp & Flounder - just fantastic. Don't miss the lemon curd cake with sorbet either! Can't wait to go back and try one of the steaks. Highly recommended

This is what Yelp does to you... They hook you to a new business. Thanks to a previous event, i discovered this place and needed to come back. The setting is an old hunting cabin with a small wink if you look at the animals around. The staff is very friendly and courtageous. They always serve you with the smile and Southern hospitality as one would expect. They event made the Teatini (Firefly Sweet tea wodka) cocktails upon request. Trust me... Two on a Sunday morning, make you forget about the week. The dishes on the menu are decently priced for a more high-end restaurant. The chef would like to address the younger foodies and introduce them to the finer dining. As we did the brunch menu, we had to chance to explore more different dishes. We had the shrimp toast, biggest taste bombe ever! The special was a deep fried blue crab benedicte with perfectly poached eggs. And if you are a big lobster fan, make sure to get a lobster slider with huge chunks of lobster! Amazing!!! It might be a bit of the beaten track from Kig and East Bay, but Barony is definitely worth the walk. Located in the beautiful Rennaissance hotel it's going to be theh new hotspot

From the time we walked in and was greeted with such a sweet southern smile full of hospitality to the entire staff and there desire and willingness to create an environment that is second to none in Charleston, the Barony Tavern was 5star all the way. Chef Bob Carter was great at the Peninsula Grille, but has reached new heights with the Barony Tavern.....simply WOW!!!! The CRABCAKES are a delightful Masterpiece, perfectly Grilled and amazingly delicious. The Harmonic Balance of Oceanic flavor with a blissful tenderness made my palate beg for more!! Thank you Chef!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!

Even though Barony Tavern's upscale, huntsman-esque vibe is not usually my style, there were a lot of things happening at this restaurant that I could get behind. For starters, I am really enjoying the resurgence of hotel restaurants and bars in Charleston, with Barony Tavern (and Peninsula Grill, Barony Tavern Chef Bob Carter's former gig) among the best. I can also dig this level of service, where I await the rest of my party in a comfy lounge, with drink in hand. You NEED the Moscow Mule from Barony Tavern, I might add. Expect a red meat and seafood-heavy Dinner menu here; ask for a bar menu (or sit at the bar!) for lighter, more shareable items. Of the menu items I tried, the Lobster Sliders (from the bar menu), pimento cheese shrimp toasts, and Coconut Cake (of course), were the highlights. The crawfish stuffed/topped shrimp have potential, but they weren't quite right on my visit. Chef Bob Carter came out and personally greeted all of the tables during my first visit to Barony Tavern. That's rare, and what made it even better was the personal nature of the conversation. He really wanted to hear our feedback and make the restaurant better!

Good luck finding this place. It's in a Hotel, which is also hard to find. But Do It. Well worth the search. The bar is upscale, the artwork gives you thought, the drinks get you feeling good. Had lunch at the Bar, worth the conversation with the bar keep. Gives you a good feeling of elegance. Food is exceptional, and plenty of it. Try the coconut cake, large piece and yummy. Frank G

The best filet mignon I've ever had, cooked to perfection. Very fresh seafood and delicious crab cakes. The creamsicle amaretto drink was fabulous! Upscale atmosphere and incredible service

Saturday night we stopped by the Barony Grill for dinner. We were greeted by a nice young lady who escorted us to our table. Andy stopped by to say hello and introduced us to our waiter Marco and Smoke the barender. From that point on everything was fabulous. Great food, great drinks, great service and great atmosphere. I would highly recommend stopping by to give Andy and his staff a chance to show you a great time.

Ask for Stephanie, she is so sweet and so amazing. We had a bachelorette party and she took great care of us. I cannot recommend this place enough. We felt so special and they treated us so well! Thank you!!

Ate at Barony for the first time this evening. I am a Local in Charleston, and have eaten just about everywhere. The quality of service at barney is second to none in town! Cocktail menu was fantastic, and great wine and beer options. The chicken pate was one of the best dishes I have had in town. Steak and shrimp were both amazing! Will definitely head back again soon!
(5)Renee K.
A newer restaurant who still has a few things to work out, but serving delicious food. I loved Bob Carter at the Peninsula Grill & find so much promise in his new endeavor. The ribeye steak was wonderful as well as the roasted cauliflower & grits. We topped our meal off with coconut cake. I would recommend this place.

What an amazing hidden gem! This restaurant has a phenomenal steak/seafood menu and a just as impressive atmosphere. The service was great too! Recommend the filet! Also be sure to get the squash for a side!
