Fodor's Review:

A lively spot with a popular bar and a community table flanked by paper-topped private tables, Hank's is an upscale fish house with such Southern adaptions as Lowcountry bouillabaisse. Seafood platters come with sweet-potato fries and cole slaw. It has a true bistro atmosphere, with waiters in long white aprons buzzing about. It's super popular with the thirtysomething crowd and those who live inland and want the freshest seafood. With a location just off the Old Market, the sister restaurant to the fancy-pants Peninsula Grill is a noteworthy landmark on Charleston's dining scene.

The food was mediocre, and the waitstaff made us feel as though we were wasting their time. For the price, I'd expect a better experience.

For a fish restaurant, they don't cook fish very well. None of the fish that my wife and I had was cooked optimally. Hank's did not pass the test of being better than what we could have made at home.

Way to crowded..sitting on top of one another. Food was fine and the service was fine but couldn't wait to get out and breathe.
