Everything was excellent from start to finish. Our table of four enjoyed every dish we ordered. Even the smallest bite of the sweet had an explosion of flavor. I still remember the amazing olive dish. Each sauce was perfectly balanced. The triggerfish was light and flavorful, while the gnocchi was delicate and delicious. My companions absolutely loved their pastas, and the budino dessert was fantastic. We’ve dined at many wonderful places in Charleston, but this restaurant ranks high on our list—definitely in the top three for this meal. My only suggestion would be to offer a more extensive tasting menu and to include mezcal on the drink selection. While the Tiramisu cheesecake was very good...
My wife and I have had the opportunity to dine in top restaurants around the world, and we believe that Ken's Restaurant is among the best we've ever experienced. Ken's ability to create a diverse menu of the highest quality, featuring everything from the freshest seafood to homemade pastas, is truly remarkable. The food is excellent (we've probably tried everything on the menu), the atmosphere is delightful, and the staff are all integral to making the experience unforgettable. We are thrilled that Isle of Palms has a restaurant of this caliber, and anyone visiting the Charleston area must include it on their list of dining destinations.
We started with the fish of the day, which was wonderfully presented on a bed of hearts of palm, accompanied by a lovely vinaigrette. Our second course featured handmade egg noodles tossed with octopus and andouille sausage—absolutely divine. The third dish was succulent roasted pork served over tender broccolini, drizzled with aged balsamic vinegar and accompanied by a mouth-watering boar jam on a Marsala and Vidalia onion reduction.
For dessert, we enjoyed a unique creation that was part pudding, part crème brûlée, topped with butterscotch, shaved chocolate, and a light vanilla cream. It was the perfect end to an unforgettable meal!
Nice Italian spot with good appetizers and yummy pastas. We had the wahoo crudo which was delicious but expensive for the small size). We tried all of the pastas (just didn’t get photos) and they were all excellent. Huge plus is they were able to accommodate a group of 8 in basically a semi-private

One of, if not THE best, restaurant for food in Charleston. Had several courses and every single one was just amazing. The chef really knows what he's doing with flavor. It can be hard to get a reservation, but totally worth it!
Chef Ken is constantly changing the menu, incorporating fresh seasonal ingredients. I haven’t had a seafood dish there that I didn’t love. I usually take my wife there for our anniversary and the team never disappoints!
