    The service was very good the staff were very friendly and helpful. I truly believe the other dishes offered looked very good and very good choices. But we had the crab cakes and they were not very good which was disappointing to say the least. They had no clumps of crab at all; it was most if not all shredded crab like out of a can and mostly bread. They were two large pieces but one done well it would have been better to have one done well. For $28 a dish not worth it at all; we did not complain because our server was so nice that we didn’t want to make him feel bad. I would definitely go there again for brunch or lunch and try other dishes, but just stay away from the crab cakes.

    We enjoyed our dining experience with the Historic Table (updated name for the Historic Supper Club). You have a little time before dinner is served to explore the exhibits of the SC Historical Society in the Fireproof building. Dinner is served at a long dining room table in a library type room with lovely Spode China. You will enjoy learning about various foods used for the highlighted period in Charleston history; the recipes used for the meal preparation are slightly updated for modern tastes. The proprietor, Mike, will explain details while the food is served family style. Everything was very tasty and abundant. A glass of Madeira wine is served, but otherwise it is byob (glassware provided) . It is an educational and enjoyable evening!
