We had the hot stone with the wagu - it was great, its a cool presentation. The She crab soup is some of the best I've ever had, nice texture and flavor. My entree was the dry aged ribeye, I gotta tell you, its the best steak I've had in a long time, they use wood to cook the steaks on and its the way to go. Great service, nice people. The chef delivered our steaks and answered our questions about the steaks, he was very friendly. This is one of the best, if not the best steak houses in Charleston. You need to check it out.
