This, quite simply, an awesome restaurant. I can't say enough about the excellent food, or tremendous staff. A true Charleston gem.

We had a lovely experience for our anniversary dinner here. Staff were friendly and accommodating. They had a cute sign on our table with happy anniversary on it. Overall, the food was very good. We enjoyed our apps and our dinner selections. We got the apple tarte tatin for dessert, and were disappointed. It was served ice cold, the apples weren’t caramelized, and the crust was hard. The waitress was apologetic, but said that is how they serve it there. They did take it off the bill, even though we asked them not too, as we were going to bring it home and put it in the oven. Overall, a nice evening. We will likely return.

Our server, Morgan, was first rate. Just the right balance of attentiveness mixed with professionalism! Definitely will be back. Cassandra from pastries was truly a special experience. She gifted us with some appetizer samples and carefully explained the ingredients. She was truly the gift. Thank you Morgan & Cassandra!❤️ The entire night reminded us of Le Grand Colbert. Awesome!

Delicious! My husband loved the seafood stew he got. I really enjoyed my burger. The wine was delish too. No complaints.

We dine frequently at this gem of a restaurant. I had the special, a short rib in red wine sauce which was delicious. Every component was perfectly cooked , the beef tender, but not overcooked, with crisp carrots and onions over puréed potatoes. Don’t miss the brioche which melts in your mouth. The staff was welcoming and just the right amount of attentive.
