About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
This Charleston locals’ favorite is nestled away in a historic home in downtown Charleston. The charming restaurant and intimate bar are reminiscent of a Mediterranean Villa, where Executive Chef, Josh Ogilvie, melds the cuisines of Italy, Spain, France, & Greece, featuring fresh preparations of Seafood, Fish, Savory Meats, Homemade Pastas, Homemade Bread, and Salads, all served by a warm and friendly serving staff. The extensive wine list complements the experience and offers 75 selections by the glass. The cozy bar empties out onto a terrace, offering outdoor dining and drinks. There are numerous menu items, which are gluten and dairy free and vegetarian, and there are vegan options as well.

    Service was very slow. Food was good. Did not give us a wine list by the bottle so we thought they only have wine by the glass. My husband ordered a Makres & Diet Coke that was pretty much Diet Coke. No makers. Would not go back.
