    Waiter rushed us and was inattentive. Cesar salad was watery. More like a chain restaurant.

    Fabulous menu, seafood, service with a hip and happening atmosphere. Great for parties of two and more as well as larger groups - saw lots of classy bachelorette party groups. Great location for walking around and enjoying the sights of Charleston.
