Water's Edge Restaurant

Water's Edge Restaurant is located on Historic Shem Creek in Mount Pleasant, SC.  The Restaurant is beautifully and elegantly decorated with a Cedar wood facade from floor to ceiling throughout.  They have Creek side dining with an excellent view of the Creek with its fishing boats.  Water's Edge Restaurant also has a Bar on the inside of the Restaurant as seen in the photo above, as well as a Dockside Bar called the Water's Edge Cabana Bar. During the Summer months, they often have entertainment at the Cabana Bar like Jazz on the Creek. Additionally, there is outside dining if you prefer, and during the cooler evenings, they have propane deck heaters in the dining area as well as around the Cabana Bar.  Overall, the Water's Edge Restaurant and Water's Edge Cabana Bar is a class act, and a very nice dining experience.

I started my meal off with an appetizer of fresh local Little Neck Clams that were steamed and served in a broth of fresh herbs, White Wine, and butter. The Clams were cooked just right, tender, and the broth was excellent.  For my main course, I ordered the Grilled Mahi.  The Mahi came with citrus herb butter and was served with Red Rice and Sautéed Vegetables of broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, onions, and herbs.  The Grilled Mahi was cooked to absolute perfection, and I let the Chef know it too.  Every bite was tender and moist without it being raw.  The citrus butter complimented the fish and added a little saltiness and a little citrus tang.  It was not overpowering at all. Cheryl ordered the Beef Pasta. The Beef Pasta consists of pan seared Beef Tenderloin with penne Pasta, mushrooms, and onions in a whole grain mustard White Wine cream sauce.  Cheryl really liked the taste and commented on how the the mustard and White Wine complimented each other. The portion size of the Beef Pasta dish was so big, Cheryl couldn't eat it all. I, however, had no problem finishing the Grilled Mahi.

The Water's Edge Restaurant's slogan is Downtown Dining on Shem Creek. It is indeed fine dining and can definitely compete with some of the fancy Restaurants in Downtown Charleston.  If you are looking to enjoy an excellent meal in a nice atmosphere, then go to the Water's Edge Restaurant on Shem Creek.  I recommend it highly.
