The place is lively. Dinner was 45 minutes of waiting. I watched my order lanquish for five minutes at least on the order counter while they made a second order for the table. The server was very nice and reordered my overcooked steak as soon as she saw it. The bill was discounted as an apology for slow service/overcooked food, greatly appreciated. Service good, food not so much.

Fable is nearby so we sometimes (once every 3-4 months) go to brunch. Their brunch is pretty good, though nothing crazy. That being said I really like their scones from the prohibition lunch and their milkshakes! The kitchen is usually really busy but the servers are good at communicating that and we don't mind waiting the 20-30 minutes for our food when the restaurant is really busy on the weekend. Would recommend for a Mount Pleasant brunch staple.

Great service, the chicken wings were tasty but the Kapow hot sauce is a bit too sour for my tastes. The vegan tacos were pretty good but a bit too sweet, but the duck pancake is a must try! A lovely venue to celebrate me and my boyfriend's anniversary

I had a truly disappointing experience at this restaurant. The wait for our food was ridiculous — over 40 minutes when half of the tables were empty. When we asked our server about the delay (after about 30 minutes), there wasn’t even an apology for the wait — just a dismissive response. And when the food finally arrived, it was wrong and we had to wait another 10 minutes for them to fix it. The server seemed uninterested and inattentive since the very beginning. It was probably one of the first restaurants that didn’t offer any colouring books/crayons to our baby (despite having some). Overall, the experience was frustrating and disappointing. If you’re looking for good service or any consideration for families, look elsewhere.
