    Great dinner as always. Love the menu options, there’s a bit of wait time before they bring out the food, but it’s always fresh and delicious.

    The food here is great, fresh ingredients, well prepared and sort of surprising for the size of town. The service is not as attentive as it should have been. The restaurant was less than half full. Had to ask for my water. Glass to be refilled every time. Bar service/wine list is average—but also commensurate with normal clientele. I doubt they’d sell many $70+ bottle of wine here. I’d eat here again. The food is THAT good. Makes the ambience and service overlookable.

    2 of our party ordered rib eye. It was tough, and they could not eat it. Fish was moderate. Wine menu has declined.

    A delicious meal! The service was a bit slow, however it was a busy holiday. The food was great- everyone at the table ordered something different and enjoyed it. The prices were very reasonable as well.

    Service was excellent, they were able to accommodate our change in our reservation without a problem. Food was delicious. The only complaint is no one answered the phone for several days prior and there is no way to leave a message.

    We had heard great things about it but unfortunately they couldn’t handle the graduation crowd last night. We were seated over a half hour late for our reservation. And this was after party after party was seated before us. The curt explanation was that we had been assigned a table that wasn’t ready and they couldn’t adjust it. Unacceptable. The food was good although the crab cakes didn’t agree with one in our party. We had a very engaging Clemson student as our waiter but unfortunately he was at the mercy of the kitchen. They must have been overwhelmed because our main courses took over an hour after we finished our sushi roll appetizer. And then they served one in our party the wrong steak entree. The waiter was very apologetic but the kitchen told him to just take it off the bill and that we had to eat it instead because they were too busy to prepare the correct one. Again, unacceptable.
