    Wonderful evening. Mike is the ultimate Southern gentleman and host. His management of the restaurant makes every guest feel like they are home. Lea Melissa provided 5 star service. My daughter felt well celebrated on her birthday with lovely chocolate scripting on her dessert plate. The salads we ordered were refreshing and creative. The beet salad with fresh burrata made our hearts smile. The summer salad of arugula, fresh strawberries, candied sunflower seeds, balsamic vinegar drizzled with local honey was a song of summer. The fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese (sans the bacon jam) for us, were scrumptious. Our entrees, grouper in a curry sauce, and halibut in a lighter lemon butter sauce were delicacy dives. The chocolate cake with ice cream and chocolate sauce delighted my daughter. Bravo, Anson!! Always a treat on our trips to Charleston. A dining must for anyone visiting or living in the area.
