Definetly eat here. Humble decor but fabulous, imaginative food. We had a new cabbage dish that was an ideal blend of flavors. Vegan options were beautiful and tasy. The short ribs and house pasta were perfect for sharing. In short, order things that sound different and I promise you will be impressed. We ordered all 3 desserts and even the beets surprised. A must for relaxed fine dining.

I’ve been a vegan since 2011 and my fiancé and I came here for a date and absolute hands-down, both agreed best meal we’ve had in a very very long time and we travel a lot and we go out a lot. We will definitely be going again and this time save room for dessert because the food was so good. We couldn’t stop eating haha

I live in California but have eaten here twice when I’ve visited Charleston. The 1st time I had a pre fixe menu with a wine pairing and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had from start to finish except for 1 dish and that says a lot since I’ve eaten at my share of Michelin restaurants here in CA and abroad. The 2nd time around was just as good but my group wanted to order a bunch of dishes, and we wish we ordered more protein/meat dishes; but all the veggie dishes were fantastic

The food is consistently outstanding - fresh, hot and tastes amazing. The atmosphere has a rustic charm and sitting at the only table at the bar area was pleasantly quiet. If you’re vegan, have vegan friends or family in town, or just want to eat clean, this is the place to go!

Awesome experience. Good flavor combinations from start to finish. Very nice the small dishes thus to give you the possibility to share more plates. Very good desserts as well with something new for your palate.
