   Great dining experience. If you are in Charleston you must go! The dining room was amazing. The food was phenomenal. The poke bowl was one of the best meals I’ve ever had! Will definitely be back!

   Our Server was Pepe and he was very attentive and pleasant to chat with. Food was great. I had the scallops and my husband got the meatloaf. The place was decorated for Christmas so it was very festive especially with the church like vaulted ceiling.

   We chose this high-end restaurant for our company holiday party, expecting an unforgettable dining experience, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. While the food was good, it certainly didn’t justify the premium price tag. The dishes were flavorful but not exceptional — the kind of meal you’d expect from a solid mid-range spot, not somewhere commanding such a hefty bill. What truly dampened the evening, though, was the service. Our server had an unmistakably apathetic attitude, making us feel more like a burden than valued guests. From the start, he seemed uninterested in engaging with us or providing any kind of meaningful experience. There were multiple instances when we had to ask for things that should have been attended to without prompting, like removing empty glasses or clearing plates. When our food arrived, it came without any context or explanation — something we’ve come to expect at fine-dining restaurants. One guest didn’t receive their dish until everyone else had started eating, and when we pointed this out, the response felt more like irritation than an apology or solution. While the evening wasn’t a disaster, it certainly didn’t meet the standards one would hope for at such an expensive establishment. The overall experience was underwhelming, with a sense of indifference from the staff and a lack of attention to detail. It wasn’t terrible, but it certainly wasn’t memorable in a positive way. We left feeling disappointed, especially given the expectations we had set for a holiday celebration.

   This restaurant is stunning ! The ambiance is absolutely incredible. The food and service was great. The only small issue was we ordered Cocktails first but no appetizers and our main courses came out to quick we had barely had a sip of our drinks. Otherwise an absolutely fabulous dinner

   Had a birthday dinner with some friends. Our server was great besides the extra drink charged on our bill nobody ordered and our beef was a bit dry. Apps were great

   Smelled horrible from sewage possibly and food was extremely overprice. We ordered a $150 steak and left the restaurant still hungry.

    I've dined here a few times and had good experiences in the past, but this visit was disappointing. The chicken sandwich was just okay, and the potatoes were bland and lacking flavor. We also informed the staff about nut allergies, and despite confirming this with her, she brought out gluten-free scones made with almond flour. This left my wife feeling uneasy about potential cross-contamination throughout the meal. As locals, we’ve enjoyed supporting this place, but after this experience, we’re not sure we’d return or recommend it to others.
