Word on the street
What locals are saying
Marbled & Fin earns genuine enthusiasm from many diners for its atmosphere, complimentary welcome cocktail, broiled oysters & bone marrow, and attentive service — with local food bloggers awarding rare 5-star marks and the Post & Courier calling it a lively middle ground between Charleston's Oak and Halls. However, a vocal contingent of self-identified Charleston locals on TripAdvisor push back hard, calling the signature porterhouse 'stringy and not up to par,' the lobster sauce overpowering, and the overall value unconvincing against the city's broader fine-dining field. Service pacing and the kitchen's consistency on premium proteins are the clearest fault lines between fans and skeptics.
