Great service. Great tasting oysters, lobster roll is legit and tuna burger is solid!

WORTH THE WAIT. the best ceviche i've ever had in my life. we sat at the raw bar and the oysters were incredible too. great cocktails as well.

Good food, nice oyster selection. We sat at the outdoor patio when the restaurant was very busy.

They were very lax with COVID procedures and as much as I enjoyed the food, I was uncomfortable returning during our trip. It was crowded, customers were not spaced six feet apart and the staff behind the bar and in the kitchen did not consistently wear their masks. This made us even more uncomfortable because we were sat at the bar. This was definitely the worst restaurant we visited with regard to COVID procedures. We will return if/when COVID precautions are no longer necessary. This would be a wonderful atmosphere under normal circumstances.

Wow! This place is great! The fish and pork tacos are fantastic. And be sure to try some oysters.

Great service with delicious food/drinks! Cozy little fish market with simple and yummy choices.

Fantastic little restaurant!! Ordered the lobster roll - a quarter pound of lobster (no fillers) on a brioche roll. Without a doubt, the best sandwich/roll I have ever had!! Simply amazing! Staff was great! Highly recommend.

Phenomenal... absolutely phenomenal. The menu is small and purposeful to ensure that quality is high. While here, the staff picked everything we ate and they lead us down a delicious, dynamic and exciting journey. The drink options were also great and paired well. We loved the food, vibe and staff. Can t wait to return

Food was delicious. Yummy ceviche and guacamole chips and ahi poke together makes you want more. Fish tacos and pick tacos were so good. Great service and good atmosphere. Small setting with big tasting food. Definitely coming back here.

Lobster rolls were outstanding. So was the ceviche.

Best food we had in Charleston. We split a lobster roll and a dozen oysters. There will most likely be a wait, but 100% worth it. They most likely cannot accommodate a large group.

Fresh and unique dishes in a trendy atmosphere. Definitely centered around seafood so if you don't like seafood you probably won't be blown away. I got the tuna burger, it was flavorful and well portioned. Prices were good, drink were well constructed. I can see why there's always a wait

Great oyster bar! Really enjoyed the lobster roll as well. We ll be back.

Wonderful if tiny restaurant in the heart of Charleston. In spite of the fact that we waited an hour and a half, we would do it again. Fun staff and crowd and outstanding food and drinks. Girls trip with 3 women from Charlotte and one from Dallas. We loved it!

Masterfully run restaurant. Well made food all around. Get the lobster roll!

This is an awesome place!
We stopped in here for some appetizers and wound up having dinner at this tiny place on East Bay St. We were particularly impressed with the oysters. We had a dozen raw and a crispy oyster basket and both were delicious. We really got lucky as when we walked in there was no line and there were two seats at the bar. The staff was friendly and informed and offered up several selections of wine to our inquires. It is a tiny place and Im not even sure if they take reservations. Literally about 20-25 seats tops. The menu is limited also so get there early or you miss out! Good spot!

We returned to one of our favorite places here in Chuck Town and found 167 Raw still doing a fabulous dinner. The ceviche and celery bulb are fantastic additions to the great menu! Jeffrey was our server and he was also great!!

I had the pastrami-swordfish. Loved it!! It was worth the wait.

Love the lobster rolls here! BUT...and no pun intended, the past two times I was there I get the nasty "exit" from them. And it wasn't just me, the people I was with had the same issue both times.

Great oyster bar. Highly recommend the Lobster roll and any of the raw items.

Beautiful new digs, good service, and very good food make it very enjoyable to eat here. Fish taco was great, but I thought the fish in the ceviche was a bit tough - should have been cut thinner or macerated longer.

Lobster roll was great, really cool interior. Will be back.

Incredible. The tuna burger is the best I've ever had. Great wine selection. Love the oysters.

Such an incredible place. Absolutely authentic New England seafood restaurant.

Phenomenal little place with a constantly changing menu. They don t take reservations and it s quite small, but it s one of my favorite little dives in Charleston
