Top Charleston Dining Experiences

My friend and I were here for a birthday trip and had the good fortune to book this half day with Chef Forrest. The off the beaten path tour was excellent, full of history, architecture, and gardens. The 2nd part of the morning was spent watching the chef prepare a fabulous lunch, accompanied by wine and lots of instructional tips. We would definitely highlight recommend this way to experience Charleston!

Great afternoon! Captain Scott and First mate Alissa were fantastic. Thank you!

Chef Parker has prepared this tour immaculately. He tells the history of Charleston so well with little punches of humor. He’s not afraid to tell the good, bad, and the ugly. He also correlates the history with food. After the walking tour, you walk to a small intimate restaurant and sit at the bar while he prepares lunch just for the tourists. When I tell you this man can cook as they say in the south he puts his foot in that food. He also pairs each meal with a glass of wine. This year he even curated the appetizer for us specifically and made she crab soup. The shrimp n grits was hands down the best I’ve ever had. I can’t recall the name of the dessert, but I know it was gooey, cake, and crunch and made for the perfect mixture. You will fall in love with how passionate chef is about food and history. I cannot wait until we see him again next year.!

Martha was full of historical knowledge and made cooking so much fun. Georgia was amazing as well. Don’t miss out on this class!

This experience sure did not disappoint! Martha and Georgia were very sweet. Martha was entertaining very knowledgeable about the food as well as history of Charleston. The food we made was amazing! Great overall experience!

Skylar was so much fun, the drinks were amazing and we learned so much! Mixed drinks ourselves as well!

Very informative class and the bartender was very engaging. We learned a lot about the history of cocktails and the evolution of several drinks. The class included three different drinks and we were able to get behind the bar and make the final cocktail ourselves. The syrups and bitters used were offered for sale at the end of the class. The class lasted about 90 minutes.

Outstanding experience. Boat Captain Scott and First Mate Monique were exceptional and elevated our experience beyond our expectations. They anticipated our every need and could not have been nicer and more fun! They were flexible and responsive. Highly recommend this company and both Scott and Monique!

Amazing experience. It began with a fascinating tour of Charleston that included lots of food history, but so much more. It ended with a delicious chef prepared and served lunch with wonderful conversation, cooking tips and more stories.

We visited some historical sights on the way to our cooking destination! We also learned some interesting secrets! The cooking class was excellent as was the food and wine we enjoyed!

Our hostess was so friendly, personable and informative. The food we made turned out delicious and we learned a lot about Charleston culinary history! Highly recommend. We did the morning class and made biscuits, pimento cheese, and a pecan tart. Yummy!!

Hands-On Cooking with Martha is a must do when in Charleston! In addition to cooking three fantastic dishes, you learn interesting facts about the ingredients and the history of Charleston. The classes are fun/educational and the food melts in your mouth! Whether you are a seasoned cook or a beginner, these classes are for you. We even learned a bunch of kitchen hacks. In addition to being warm and friendly, Martha is so knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed the two classes we took and plan to take her classes on our next visit.

Skye sliver wing was awesome! Loved the history and the drinks! Very fun bachelorette activity! Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a cocktail class to attend, you should definitely try out Sip History with Sky Silverwing! He was amazing and very informative on the history of the drinks, while incorporating humor and “ cool vibes” to the class. 10/10… I 100% recommend!

Beautiful day in the Charleston Harbor! We live in the area, but it was nice to see the skyline and shoreline from a new perspective and appreciate the beauty of the city its surroundings. Crew was extremely friendly and competent. Would definitely recommend!

We had a great Sunset Cruise on Kismet to celebrate my wife's birthday!! Captain Scott and First Mate, Monique, did an outstanding job!! They tailored the ride to what we wanted to see and where we wanted to go. We did add another 30 minutes to the two hour cruise so we could make sure to enjoy the sunset. Scott was incredibly knowledgable about Charelston, the history and all the sights. Monique did a great job of getting all the food and drinks for everyone and extremely accommodating!! The food was catered by Cavier and Bananas and everything was absolutely delicious!! We ordered a cake from Carmella's - It was a A triple chocolate brownie topped with layers of peanut butter filling and chocolate cake, finished with chocolate buttercream frosting...Yum!!! This was an outstanding cruise, great crew and perfect food for a very special occasion!!!
