    Great service and quality dining experience. We had a very big dining table. Maybe they knew we were hungry-ha. Our waiter was super and had years of experience in the French Quarter of New Orleans….quite the professional and gentleman… and sorry I do not still have his name but he was great!

    Usually an awesome experience. I guess everyone has an off night every now and then. I’m pretty sure our server just didn’t want to be at work that night. She tried but her lack of enthusiasm shone through.

    My husband and I had a lovely dinner on a Friday evening. We were a few minutes early but were seated right away. Nice wine menu, with plenty of options. Server appeared disappointed that we only ordered appetizers (I am unable to eat a full entree) but otherwise, it was a very nice evening. We ended the night with a quick stop at the rooftop bar for a night cap. Highly recommend!

    We ate at four separate upscale restaurants in Charleston for dinner (FIG) etc.) This was by far the most expensive. While the service was lovely and the atmosphere is lovely the food quality is mediocre at best. Oysters are in season. The oysters we received were minuscule compared to the abundance of big plentiful oysters we had other places. For the price of the food it was highly disappointing, and instantly not nearly as good as other places.
