"**The Good:** The grits are absolutely delicious, leaving you feeling happy and full. You can choose your own flavors or pick from a selection of daily specials. The g rits are creamy and rich, while the proteins are hearty and flavorful. My personal favorite is the shrimp and grits, featuring a delightful blend of gouda, paprika, gravy, and a generous serving of well-cooked shrimp. The ranchero bowl was also a standout, packed with chorizo, eggs, salsa verde, and more. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere is perfect for a casual sit-down lunch. **The Not-so-Good:** The prices can be quite high, especially for the shrimp and grits, but the portion sizes make it worthwhile. **Food/Drink:** 9/10 **Atmosphere:** 9/10 **Service:** 9/10 "

"Nico has been on my list of must try places for a while. With its unassuming exterior, one might easily pass it by in favor of some of the on the water offerings nearby, but I had heard great things about Nico 's seafood from locals. My party dined on a weekend afternoon. Since it was the off hour, we had the entire restaurant to ourselves. The interior was cozy and comfortable. I found the exposed spray insulation a bit strange and wondered why they wouldn 't plank the ceilings to give the space a warmer feel. Some small design touches could really give the place the nautical feel they were seeking with the menus and class the place up. We were seated quickly and our server was friendly. Not particular warm, but certainly professional and knowledgeable about the menu. I started with the baked scallops from the wood fired menu. The presentation was nice with each of four scallops situated on a shell filled with harissa butter. Four small baguette slices accompanied the scallops on the plate. I was a little concerned the scallops had no color they still had that glossy look but I chalked it up to the wood fired baking (I had never had scallops prepared this way). However, the harissa butter was the star of the plate. The smokiness of the harissa was gorgeous and the baguette turned out to be a perfect touch because I didn 't want to see a drop of that butter wasted! For my entree, I opted for the lobster roll from the comfort section of the menu. When it arrived, there was a momentary thought of, why can 't a lobster roll just be a lobster roll? The lobster was balancing on a bar of buttered bread. My first impression was wrong. The smaller bread serving balanced out the juicy (and large) lobster serving perfectly. It avoided all possible complaints about the lobster roll being all bread or mostly filling that is often experienced with the dish elsewhere. The lobster roll was delicious and the side of camembert sauce is a nice touch (initially). My only complaint/suggestion about the camembert fondue is to dress it up as fondue. A tealight to keep the cheese warm would have been the perfect touch, as once the cheese (quickly) turns cold, you may as well be in Velveeta territory. And the fries. I just read an article featuring a chef in Atlanta (Garden and Gun magazine) that said a lot can be said about a restaurant by the state of its fries. So true. The fries with this dish were a complete disappointment. I 'm guessing frozen. No salt or seasoning of any kind. Truly confusing to us why a chef would choose to put those fries on any plate, much less a plate where obvious effort had gone into such a lovely lobster roll. We shared the creme brulee for dessert. No complaints. A server torched the surface at the table which is a nice touch. The serving was huge and served in a shallow Pyrex like bowl instead of the usual ramekin. A heavier dessert would have thrown the meal out of proportion but the creme brulee was the perfect final touch. NICO would have been a solid four star experience for me had it not been for 1) the illness that followed for 24 hours that I suspect was due to undercooked scallops (as everything else was shared with others), 2) those fries, 3) the camembert fondue that quickly became cheese sauce once the heat was lost, and 4) the water has that very strong marsh smell that influences every few bites. At these prices, some filtered water is necessary. It is hit or miss, but I think some tiny tweaks could greatly improve the experience."

"It was our first time there. we found out about it because the restaurant was listed for restaurant week. One of my friends does not drink alcohol so when we found out that the course was only alcohol she had to order from the regular menu. It was fairly loud...I couldn't hear my friends across the table. The food was delicious but the waiter was not friendly. he did not smile, he checked on us once but he would not listen for the answer. He asked then walked off. My friend wanted coffee after thee meal but we could not get our waiter attention then we gave up"

"What a find. We were looking for somewhere to eat close to our hotel as we'd had a long drive but we didn't want to head to a fast food place. After looking at surrounding restaurants and reviews we chose Graze. I am not going to lie, I was dubious when we turned up, it's in strip mall and the windows are blacked out. DO NOT let this put you off. When you go through the door it is everything you weren't expecting when you first see it, cute interior, nice bar to the left and wonderful staff. Candice was our server as we chose to eat at the bar instead of waiting for a table. She was helpful, chatty and funny. The food was delicious, I'll go as far as to say it was some of the best we'd had on our trip (we're uk based and this was a holiday). I had the citrus chilli short rib tacos which came with a salad, hubby had the cilantro limb buffalo shrimp tacos and we shared a side of pomme frites. Everything was super tasty and if I could have eaten more or eaten it again I would have. We'll be back if we ever visit Charleston again."

"Fantastic selection of food! Our family tried the fried pickles, shrimp tempura roll, and smoked and fried chicken, and everything was delicious. We also enjoyed the blackberry smash cocktails. The outdoor covered balcony was a lovely spot, offering a beautiful view! This restaurant is also very family-friendly, with "extra tall" high chairs available for the high-top tables. A big thank you to the hostess who was able to accommodate us without a reservation. I highly recommend making a reservation if you want to skip the long wait."
