843 is a MUST when visiting Charleston! The staff is friendly, the food is amazing, and the drinks are even better! Our server Franklin was so sweet and helpful. The hostess, bartender, and other staff were also extremely sweet. We had a wonderful time meeting up with friends at 843 (and even did a little karaoke to finish up the night).
