Description: Wren Bistro and Bar is a locally owned and operated restaurant and bar that features an ever evolving menu for both lunch and dinner. The kitchen uses delicious locally caught seafood, great cuts of steak, juicy chicken, and tasty pasta dishes. The portions are enormous (the 18 oz ribeye, and the 12-14 oz burgers for example!) and are easily big enough to share. We compliment the lunch and dinner menus with a staff of professional servers and bartenders who are very knowledgeable, always courteous, and very entertaining. The décor is elegant, yet modern and hip. So, if you and yours are looking for a great experience, and even better food, come check us out anytime Monday through Saturday, between 11 a.m. and 10 p.m. Reservations are not required, but always welcomed!

Stopped by for lunch today. Good, attentive waitress. I had the fried flounder sandwich with a side salad. The salad was good, but nothing special (greens, cucumber, tomatoes, b.v. dressing). The flounder was fried nicely and the portion was more than generous; however, it lacked seasoning. Very, very bland. The slight drizzle of aioli was tasteless as well. I came... More

Absolutely the best meal during my 10 day trip to the SC coast. Steak, fries, wine, and coconut cake were top notch. Bartender was delightful. I had a wonderful time!

Our last experience at Wren, over 2 years ago, was so horrendous that I vowed to never return. I know you should not do that with restaurants, because owners, managers, chefs, staff, they all change and sometimes for the better. But there are not that many good restaurants in Beaufort, so back we went with friends this week. Glad to... More

We went last week and both ordered burgers/fries, an appetizer of fried oysters and split an ENORMOUS piece of apple pie. The burgers were cooked perfectly and did I mention they're huge! Lots and lots of fries. I had bacon and goat cheese added to my burger - so tasty! The fried oysters were fresh and they brought three different... More

The salad was enjoyable for every bite. Small poached pears and toasted walnuts, moist delicious dates a yummy cheese, nice greens and a perfectly delicate dressing. I... More

We arrived late were greeted happily! Food was excellent - Grills Salad, 5 cheese Flat Bread. Even the water was great! Service was prompt and always with a smile and our waitress is from Beaufort which provided us with some back ground of where we stayed (City Loft), and the area.

Wren Bistro is a truly fabulous eatery! This is fine dining at its best! This will become one of our favorite restaurants once we relocate from Georgia to the Low Country. I highly recommend!
