"This was by far one of the worst experiences. I absolutely love this restaurant but it has now turned into a mini club. It seems that it has lost its ambiance and great environmental feeling. We had a 7:45 reservation and wasn’t seated till almost 8:30. Once seated I informed the person seating us that in the window seal was a to go container and she said “ok” and walked off….. we sat there at a table with no utensils to eat and NO server. We waited for almost another 25 minutes and no one even walked over to our table. We had to ask someone to get us a manger, who came, apologized and sent us another server from another section of the restaurant. She said that she’s sorry that there was a miscommunication between the servers and gave us free appetizers. The waitress who was taking care of us was very nice and we appreciated her. I got my food and asked that there be no nuts in my salad and it came loaded with nuts, I didn’t send it back because at this point I was already irritated, so I just pushed it aside. I ordered a ribeye steak well done and it came rare. I sent it back and it was cooked the right way. It was a birthday celebration and was suppose to be nice but it was not. We’ve never experienced anything like this before and I feel like I wasted money."

15 minutes after reservation seated. Hair in food. Poor waitress service from refill of drinks to didn’t bring appetizers out until food arrived. View menu

We got sat by the water and view was really nice. Our server was hard to find at times, but overall the service and food was great. We were able to get a table within 10 minutes of our reservation.

Waitress unfamiliar with menu, was unable to get my usual meal as waitress said I couldn’t get the house salad with my meal even though the menu stated I could. Ended up getting something else and left underwhelmed with food and service View menu

It was a Saturday and we didn’t have a reservation so we thought we’d just take our chances. So there was a line when we arrived and the hostess was very nice. They were not taking any walk ins but said if we went online to open table and made a rese for time slots showing that would work. So we did! We waited at the bar and had a table in 45 minutes

The croissants have turned into heated dinner rolls. Horrible and not what they used to be. Salad came with items I asked to be removed. No kids menus available. One steak arrived cold. Server was good and attentive. Sat in bar with a super small Booth and surrounded by multiple birthday parties in the dining room. Very noisy. Meal was $75. Not worth it

"I just have one word that describes my experience here. WOW It was an absolute experience coming here. We were in town for my birthday and decided to eat here for my bday dinner/last night in Charleston. The vibe and atmosphere were classy, fun, and calming. They have a main bar area where you can grab a drink while you wait for a table and can be quite lively later in the evening. The dining rooms are towards the back, a lot quieter and more intimate so has a flavor for whatever you are into. The service was absolutely perfect. Our server (I wish I would have gotten her name she served our party of two at 10pm on Saturday 8/17) was so insanely friendly and personable. She knew her stuff and then some when it came to presenting the menu, but also would come chat with us and give us tips and recs for Charleston as she knew we were from out of town. They also gave us a free cheesecake and glasses of champagne on the house for our celebration. Just overall made us feel incredibly special and welcomed (we don't normally eat at places like this lol). The food, omg.....I am not overstating or being hyperbolic.......this was hands down without a doubt the greatest steak I have ever had in my life. Nothing even comes close. I had the Dry Aged Ribeye, and it has completely ruined steak for me because nothing will ever be that good. My girlfriend got the Filet, and it was in the same ballpark. Just legendary. We also got a side of the lobster Mac Cheese and it was fluffy with a perfect crust on top. Amazing flavor and texture. If you ever have the opportunity to dine, do yourself a favor and go. This was one of the best dinner experiences I have ever had. Thank you for making it a wonderful experience to the wait staff, the chef, servers, everyone there played a part and gave me a memory I will hold onto forever. Thank you!!"
