Spectacular view and location. Service was great, and the restaurant had al fresco and indoor dining. Pasta was a little too salty for my liking.

The view is stunning and it’s not even the best part. The food was expertly prepared. Not one of my taste buds was even slightly disappointed. I ordered the glazed salmon as a second choice as they did not have the French dip available, and I have no regrets. Amazing food, great price, and a killer view of Charleston and Kanawha city.

The view, the FOOD, the service… man, we wished we lived closer. We started with the Lamb Lollipops and were blown away at the perfection of the cook, the balance of flavors, and presentation. The Mahi Fish Tacos (newer menu item) are deliciously plated, and savory with some heat. No complaints about the Center Cut Steak, also cooked to perfection, it will melt in your mouth.

This was my first time trying the Lookout. The food was pretty good. The staff were cordial. But the atmosphere is honestly what sets this restaurant apart.

I ordered a house salad with shrimp and mahi tacos that also come with french fries. My friend that joined me ordered a pizza with pepperoni and banana peppers. The food was really delicious. I liked that they charred the tortillas for my tacos and the bottom of the crust of the pizza. It wasn't so much that there was any burnt taste, but enough to give a slight smokey flavor that we both enjoyed. The mahi tacos were flavorful and the fish planks were also nice and smokey.

We were there on a Saturday evening just in time for trivia so the place was pretty busy. Besides the bar, there was nowhere to dine inside. I would've preferred to eat outside on the deck anyhow, the view from the patio outside was pleasant and the temperature was perfect for outdoor dining. I found the size and shape of my chair a little difficult to sit in while eating, but I managed. It could be that you're meant to eat your meal in your chair or that they're just designed for giants, I'm not sure. At least they're sturdy and not cheaply made, I will say that.

One thing that I didn't notice right away, was that on my receipt I was charged tax twice. I couldn't say what that was about, but I don't think I've seen that from a restaurant before. Maybe it was due to something I ordered and maybe it was mentioned on the menu and I just didn't pay it no attention.

Anyhow, I'd recommend checking this place out if you've never tried it. It's up on a mountaintop and it's not the easiest place to find if you're not from the area. The road there is a long and steep one, so you might smell your brakes by the time you get back to the bottom of the hill this restaurant is on. And though the menu varies quite a bit in price, meaning it's as expensive as it is affordable (if that makes sense). This is a unique and nice place to kill your hunger. Give it a try.

This place has so much potential , the food and service was excellent, the menu is very limited, and no frozen adult beverages. The view overlooking the Kanahawa River was beautiful, however the landscaping around the facility was lacking curb appeal.

Went here for a Valentine's Day dinner. It was our first time so we had no clue that making a reservation was preferred, nevertheless the staff was more than happy to seat us.

The food was top notch and our waiter was awesome. The atmosphere was amazing (sunsets eating there must be breathtaking) and I see they do weekend trivia which will be awesome for future visits.

Overall the experience was a 12/10 and I will be returning ready to try the mozzarella sticks!

Was visiting Charleston for a few days and wanted to discover local spots, started looking for nice views and this one came up. It's amazing to find out where is located. We wanted to seat in the patio to enjoy the sunset but tables were not available. Then one came available in the patio but not sunset view... Yet. We moved, order drinks and saw a sunset table was available and asked the million dollar question.... And the answer was yes we can move you. There you see they are very friendly and care for their guests. The food was phenomenal! Got salmon, tuna and even desert! Everything was very well portioned and tasted great. Definitely will be suggesting it to friends heading to Charleston. Thank you all for everything.
