Zagat, the widely regarded international restaurant ratings guide, has recently added a select few Charleston restaurants to the platform. We are proud to announce that thanks to our reviewer contributions, Langdon’s has received a 28 out of a possible 30 rating for food! Here’s what our reviewers had to say:
“The chef is at the top of his game” at this Mount Pleasant American, where the “top-tier” fare and “excellent wine list” are “presented with care” and “rival any Downtown” eatery; maybe it “doesn’t look like much on the outside”, but once indoors “a beautiful bar and romantic dining room” await – and if it’s “pricey”, devotees declare it’s a “worth-it” “treat.”
Thanks everyone!
