This place sits on a corner off the pedestrian path in downtown Charleston. The signage makes it look like a higher end place. The place was packed with what appeared to be a downtown after work crowd. I was able to get a seat at the bar. I ordered an old fashioned of course. It was good, but no craft ice. The guy next to me ordered a bourbon with a single cube and it came out with the craft ice. Weird that you would need to ask like that. The filet was downright awesome. Well prepared and seasoned. It came with a loaded baked potato which was well appointed. The bartender was attentive, but not overbearing. I washed it all down with a nice local lager. Great dinner in Charleston.

My wife and I stopped in here to grab a bite for dinner recently after we'd checked into our hotel on an overnight stay from Christmas Vacation. It was a Thursday night and DT's looked like a very nice place. There seemed to be a lot of tables open but the hostess said there'd be a wait since we didn't have reservations. The bar was pretty empty so we just grabbed a seat at the bar. We decided to split a Grilled Caesar salad and an order of Lamb Shanks. We also ordered two house wines. The Caesar salad came out first and they had split it on two plates. We thought that they had given us each a salad since it looked like they had placed two romaine heads on each of our plates. The bartender said "No, that's how they split it". They must've grilled the romaine on the grill with steaks because the lettuce had a steak taste to it....very very good. We'd never had lettuce taste like that. The salad dressing was very good. Next they brought out the lamb shanks. The menu said it came with 4 shanks, but there were only three on the plate. They were done perfectly and there was a lot of meat on the bone. Some of best I've had. It would've been nice if they'd had 4 on the plate as advertised but we were fine eating just the three of them. Nice place...good service.

From the hostess to the bartender to the waitstaff, we were treated wonderfully. The whole staff seemed to work well together, and even though the restaurant was busy, we didn't have to wait long for anything. Great food, great drinks, and we had a fantastic evening!

Excellent place! The bread is fantastic and the Delmonico steak was perfect. We seared it on the hot rock they bring and it's perfect

DT Prime is a great newer spot in Charleston. While there are a few minute issues I think they could fix I have always had an overwhelmingly good experience here. I have to say, I think they have the highest quality steak in Charleston. Much better than the other 2 "high end" places in town. It seems to be high grade beef, with a perfect sear and seasoning. The restaurant looks well kept. The staff is always kind. My only gripe is that they are a little hefty on the prices without the fine dining experience, and they need some diversity in their menu. All appetizers are some form of meat, and nothing with differing texture/flavors. Also, they need to rework their French onion soup, I've thought it was pretty awful both times I tried it. However, their steak, sides, and salads are where they shine, and I have to say they are doing a great job so far!

My boyfriend and I came for a date night on one of their less busy nights. We still had to wait a little bit, but had a great time at the bar getting a drink while we waited. After that we were led to our table, which was quite cozy and romantic. They bring you a delicious bread, which I was a huge fan of! I always love with establishments have some bread to get you started. We ordered a Caprese salad for us to share, which was delicious! Overall the food was very good, but I do feel the price point was a little bit steep for the quality. Our waitress was not the greatest, she did not check on us often, was not very friendly and messed up a few things during the ordering process. However, I think that she was just new so it was no biggie.

Went for Charleston Restaurant week, overall great food and experience. The restaurant is always clean as well. The service was good. The brownie was a bit dry but a good taste, but I'd recommend the cheesecake for a dessert!
