    This place is pricey but if you're looking for a great experience and great food, this is it. We sat outside in the beautiful garden terrace and had a fantastic serving staff. Food was spot-on.

    El lugar es clásico y elegante, el servicio estupendo y los alimentos buenos, en particular los callos de hacha y los mejillones. La gallinita de Guinea no fue de lo mejor. Si lo recomendaría y sobre todo me parece un clásico de Charleston.

    This was an overall stellar experience. Everyone’s food was prepared perfectly. This deserves all of the accolades that it receives. Obviously, the dessert of coconut cake was the proverbial cherry on top.

    I recommend against ordering She-crab soup. It had none of the expected flavors & tasted like a canned or boxed off-the-shelf preparation. The rack of lamb was delicious. The beef tenderloin Oscar-style tasted great but the presentation was sloppy as if an afterthought. We ordered2 glasses of champagne but were charged for 4 glasses; a $40 mistake. Check your bill!!

    The She Shrimp Soup was perfect. I ordered the salmon medium rare. It was served to order! The 12 layer coconut cake kicked my butt. I tried, but could not Finnish it. Outstanding meal and service.

    The food was phenomenal. She Crab Soup was the star. The service was attentive, but not annoyingly so. Would highly recommend

    Excellent meal. Wife had the filet and loved it. I had the lamb chops & they were extremely tasty. Only complaint was that the sides under whelmed. The foie gras was delicious but the mushrooms & asparagus were just so-so. Overall excellent with an asterisk.
