Word on the street
What locals are saying
The Harlow has quickly earned its place as the neighborhood restaurant James Island locals felt was missing — repeat visitors praise the attentive staff, grilled oysters, and a tight menu that handles everyone from seafood lovers to kids. The Post and Courier singled out the Fish Sando and the kitchen's consistency, while Yelp regulars rave about the Jam Jar cocktail and the modern, clean space. The one recurring gripe is that the music skews too loud for conversation, and as a newer entrant it remains a James Island gem rather than a city-wide destination — but the Instagram wall, coastal patio, and crab mac close-ups are quietly building its social footprint.
