Our Queen of Everything, Myrtice charms everyone she meets with her high energy. The management graciously compted her meal and gave her a dessert. She was thrilled and we agreed to come back someday soon for breakfast since her workout time is 5-7! Thank you for your kindness to all of us, especially making Myrtice feel extra special!More infoSaffire RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Downtown Charleston•3.8
