   Unfortunately can’t remember our servers name. She had dark hair and lots of pens in her apron. She was terrific best service in a restaurant that we have had in ages!!!! All around a lovely dinner:)

   Truly an underwhelming experience, if you could even call it that. The food transported us back to a late 80s/ early 90s Banquet Hall. It was outdated, overly sauced, and the drinks were sub par. The amount of butter on my baked fish could have caused a carotid artery. While I only took two bites, it was not even noticed by staff that we were extremely displeased. My husbands steak was supposed to be medium rare but I could hear the cow still moo'ing. Though it appeared that the filet must have been sous vided because for how raw it was there was no blood. We have been long time supporters of Chef Nico, dating back to his days at Fish on King Street. We were really looking forward to our dinner, but instead left 30 minutes later, hungry and with $200 less in our pockets. Unfortunately, we will never be back again.

   Kristin made us some fabulous cocktails, and our friends from the UK thoroughly enjoyed their meals. We had goat cheese spring rolls, grouper, scallops, and burgers. Everything was prepared perfectly as usual! Thanks for yet another great experience!

   The drinks were on point and the scallops were the best I have ever eaten. A wonderful night with delicious food in a beautiful restaurant.

   Overall a very enjoyable dinner. Brenden is super at front door and keeping it all together. Server was a bit chilly. I prefer snails served in shell with butter rather than in a small crust. Quite noisy. Hope to bring a group of 6 soon but will want to sit in breezeway or farther back in main dining area.

   The mussels were delicious, and the cocktails were to die for. Thanks for a lovely evening spent with my daughter.

    Great food and experience. Kristen may be the best bartender in Charleston and Brendan, the general manager makes everything go well.
