    This was the most disappointing meal we had in Downtown Charleston. My husband ordered swordfish and it was a joke, 1/4” thick, cooked like shoe leather and no seasoning They had a sauce “on the side” that was supposed to make up for that? Everywhere we have ever had swordfish it has been 3/4” thick like a steak, moist and tender. This was dry and tough because it was cut too thin I had a $32 scallop dish. The scallops themselves were ok but the grits in the middle of the plate were soupy, and the veggies that were sautéed together made no sense to the overall presentation of the entree. They tasted like chopped up mushrooms, peppers and onions that you would use in an omelet, not one of the higher end entrees on the menu. Save your money and go elsewhere. We won’t be back.

    Food was never hot, just lukewarm. Scallops not properly seared. So tasted and looked boiled. Conch fritters were excellent, as were fried oysters and crab soup.

    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!

    Our table was wobbly and had to be fixed using paper and our bench cushion had a low dip on one end making it too low to sit at the table. Asked for different table from hostess but didn't get one.

    We enjoyed our first dinner on the 17th so much, decided to return for our ‘last night’ -right next to our hotel, a great location! Our server, Alex, was terrific! Calamari, fish tacos, mussels all delish…Pinot Gri and Cali Chardonnay tasty parings - we shall return! (But, perhaps NOT on an early eve before ‘showtime’ next door at the theatre😉)
