"However, my biggest complaint was about the pitcher and saucer setup in the back dining room by the water. I'm not sure if there are other similar setups in the restaurant, but this was my experience. It was completely unhygienic! They kept the pitchers right behind the guests, where hair and other debris could easily fall into them or come into contact. I only noticed the setup when one of the servers grabbed a pitcher, and I felt a wet smack on my back, realizing my hair had been in it and had fallen onto the saucers below.
We informed the staff about what happened, and they changed the water and attempted to put it back. I refused, explaining how unhygienic it was and that it could happen again. Surely, I couldn't be the first person this has happened to. Eventually, another server discreetly tried to take the pitcher back, and once again, it caught my hair.
To prevent them from placing it back, I put a salt shaker on top of the plates. (I’ve attached a picture to show how close it was.) On the other side of the aisle, we noticed a similar situation where a man kept taking off his hat and brushing his head against the saucers and pitcher behind him.
Because of this experience, I won't be returning, and I highly recommend looking elsewhere. Even though the food quality was decent, there are many better places to spend your money in Charleston. If this is how they operate in the dining room, I can only imagine what health codes they might be violating in the kitchen."
