The service here is true southern hospitality! We had a table of nine and the staff went above and beyond to tend to us. The drinks were outstanding, the food was delicious (try the scallops), and the wait staff was extremely knowledgeable…we even asked if he want to culinary school.

To be honest, I don’t understand the hype. We ordered the big breakfast plate for 3 people and it was the exact same size as the table next to us who ordered it for 2. The eggs seemed powered, the donuts were more like cake, and the biscuits (2 for 3 people) were cold. I will say, the bacon was delicious. The other member of my party ordered the fried chicken sandwich and it was chewy and unappetizing. The drinks were fine but nothing special. Our server was very nice and the restaurant is cool but it is SO LOUD and there is much better food in Charleston.

This place is beautiful on the inside. The food is great, they easily accommodate a large party. I have a gluten allergy and the waiter was very knowledgeable and helped me pick a meal I could safely eat. Overall will definitely be back, we were very impressed.

Beautiful ambiance and creative menu. Our service was great and timely. The food was good but really nothing special. The portions were a good size. My only big complaint was how close the tables were together. I could hear the full conversation of the party next to me.

The place was interesting being set in a former church. The brunch was expensive for what you got- $17 for bacon and eggs and a lot of potatoes. Won't go back.

From the moment you walk in it’s just an experience. Beautiful decor and building. Especially lucky our waiter was able to give us a lengthy history of the building new owners and how they put it all together into such an awesome spot. Food was spot on & drinks delicious. Highly highly recommend going there for a special dining experience and just really cool atmosphere

This was our final meal while visiting Charleston, and it was by far the best meal we had. The unique atmosphere of this place was the first thing that really set this restaurant apart from others. Then our waiter-exceptional! He knew the menu and drink selection and provided us guidance on the best selections. The food was incredible. The humus and chips along with the salad were a great way to start a meal. The main entrees were the hand-made ravioli and the steak with potato hash. So flavorful! If you’re looking for a unique atmosphere, exceptional food, and wonderful service then this is the place!

This was a perfect place to try during restaurant week. The ambiance was beautiful. It is an old church with preserved stained glass windows, vaulted ceilings, cozy booths, high tops and a glorious bar set against the far wall with liquor/wine shelved almost up to the roof. We tried all 4 starters (burrata and beet, watermelon and feta salad, chorizo meatballs and flank steak skewers). They were all very tasty and are part of their normal menu with the exception of the skewers. Highly recommend any of them. Entrees were pan roasted chicken, flat iron steak, cacio e pepe and filet. All were amazing and would recommend as well. The only niggle I had was the pasta had no garnish. A few roasted tomatoes would have been a lovely accompaniment. The desserts were not impressive and I would suggest passing on them. The white chocolate lava cake (no lava, unless the ice cream was supposed to be the lava) was overdone, dense and dry. The peanut butter and raspberry layer cake was a touch better but the raspberry was a gelee consistency and the peanut flavor lacking. The service was impeccable and they were packed on a Sunday evening. Overall an 8 out of 10. I would definitely go back.

Great atmosphere. Perfect brunch spot. Wasn't crazy about the lack of variety of beers on draft. Two IPA's and a Bitter... Waitress was very knowledgeable and was able to recommend and give us great options for eating and drinking. Love the vibe of the place and there is a public parking lot right beside it.

The Restaurant Week menu was a great deal. I had the beet and burrata first course, which was interesting and well prepared. My 9 oz filet and my companion's flank steak were overcooked quite a bit (medium well instead of medium rare), but we were offered replacements or complimentary drinks. The dessert of white chocolate lava cake was delicious and just the right portions. A main attraction was the building itself, an old church that has (at least) three separate seating locations including the large lively bar area and an intimate patio in the back.
