Great meal and great service from Jessica. A great restaurant experience, a classic spot. Noise level was high initially but then calmed down. Everything was high quality, from cocktails to oysters to entrees and you have to get the coconut cake. If you are in Charleston, you need to eat here!

Our first experience here was great! The server had great suggestions. We had a dozen local oysters and the calamari for an appetizer. They were both good. The Tilefish was delicious as was the jambalaya. Great selection of craft beer and good wine. No wait as we had reservations. Overall, we loved it!

The setting of the place set the tone for something a little different; it is in an old church. We had their Thanksgiving service and it was quite delicious. My daughter had their filet and I had the traditional turkey. The sides were plentiful and the desserts were unique, but not too large as to make them over-filling after the meal. Our waiter had a smile and easy that made us comfortable asking for some minor changes to our meal.
