   Sides of oysters and scallops were excellent. Steaks were tough. Overall food was very good. Just disappointed in the steak.

   I ordered a salad to start. Couldn’t find the waiter to let him know. When I told him he said “do you want me to take it off the bill.” I told him I wanted to eat it. We ordered the veggie risotto which was honestly the worst risotto I have ever had. It was not creamy. It was undercook rice with no flavor. This was a crazy expensive waste of our time. Don’t go here.

   Appetizers - Fried green tomatoes and mussels were awesome! The dinner entrees of duck and waffles and scallops were very bland. Service was outstanding and they were very nice when we asked to sit in a different area other than outside the kitchen. Also, when they asked about our food, they did not charge us for the scallop dinner. Maybe a great breakfast place, but I would pass on dinner here.

   Came earlier than our reservation and they were great about seating us - and outside! It was a beautiful night!! We ordered coffee and key lime pie. End of a perfect day. We will be back for dinner. The guests in the table next to us were going on and on about how delicious their meal was.

   Best waiter I have ever had in my life. Andrew was so kind, knew the menu front & back, called us by our names, and just could tell he cared. Then to top it off, the food & drinks were incredible. Would highly recommend Eli’s Table to anyone who wants the best food & the best service!

    Great food, nice location, but honestly the best part of the meal was our server, Raymond. Raymond was incredibly friendly, knowledgable, and make our entire experience more enjoyable. He seemed to be well liked by his guests and even passers by. If we eat at Eli's Table again we will for sure ask for Raymond's section!

    The kitchen was clearly overwhelmed. When managers and servers are hovering near the service window, it’s never a good sign. My whiskey sour tasted like it was from a mix. Husband’s vegetable risotto tasted like vegetables thrown into rice, not a risotto. Little things like stale croutons tells you there is no attention to detail. The only disappointing meal we’ve had in Charleston.

    Service was horrible. Bartender didnt know his alcohol or drinks. Waitress took order and then never came back. Had to reorder with new waiter. Only one type of beer (yes one). They were out of a lot of things. Which makes me think they are closing. Had lots of reservation times available. Super expensive for the little food we received and do not order the caesar salad. It was more of a parmesan bowl with store bought dressing and a hand full of lettuce soaked in dressing. Like I said it was a cheese bowl. The rest of the food was delicious but would not go back again.

    I took my lovely girlfriend here for her birthday. The staff was amazing! They all was very attentive and extremely courteous. Making sure we had the best dining experience we could have. There is no many tables inside only 4 from what we seen which was very nice and quiet to have more personal time with my loved one. I would make reservations and definitely eat here. I had the duck and waffles and would suggest it to anyone who is a fan off fine dining.

Carson has the best personality and did a wonderful job explaining the menu and making suggestions. We would absolutely go back and request to be sat with Carson again.

    Not a great experience last night. We were promptly seated but then no one showed up to our table in 20 minutes (no water or even a greeting) so we left. The outside of this restaurant was very cute but inside was a weird mix of newer and older: trendy light fixtures attached to ceiling tiles that need to be replaced. Waiters in tuxedo outfits but also my chair was wobbly and felt like it was on its last leg. Strange ambiance indeed: we were seated next to a room that was being used as some type of office and the door to the office was completely clear and we could easily see inside: spare ceiling ducts on the floor, routers with cables everywhere, chipping plaster on the yellow wall and someone's purse.

    We were seated next to a table that had not been cleared and didn't get cleared for at least 30 minutes. We were seated for 25 minutes before we got water or met our server. Once those initial negatives were taken care of dinner was much more enjoyable. Our server Anna was efficient and pleasant. The food was delicious. We both had fish which was cooked to perfection and the sides were beautiful and tasty. Dessert options were minimal. Not a good choice for a birthday celebration.Overall, I am glad we stayed for dinner despite the initial poor presentation.

    Food was excellent! Server was attentive and personable. Only glitch was a broken wine cork. We ate early(5:30 reservation) and they were out of the two desserts we were interested in. Probably a good thing for our waistline but still disappointing.

    We were seated tightly next to a very large party in a small room and when that party left another large one was reseated there. The restaurant should not have tried to squeeze more twosome tables into that space. It also meant that staff were super focused on the large parties and we had to wait a long time to out in even drink orders.

    I’ve been to Eli’s table before and it was awesome! However, this time I did not have a great experience. I understand that it’s a small place but we were packed in there like cattle. I had to make sure my legs weren’t sticking out of my table or I would trip the waiter. Asked for a medium steak got a well done to medium well and they drowned the potatoes and asparagus in butter. Vegetarian risotto just was not good at all. Seems like they kinda just threw something together last minute. I couldn’t even finish it. Only thing that was decent was the mussels and service.

    For the cost/ value considerations this is one of the worst fine dining establishments ive been to in quite some time. The food was middling to poor with the Fillet being the sole thing that was decent but honestly how do you mess up a fillet anyway. The fondue either has a flour base which is weird in fondue or the cheese split causing it to have a grainy texture. The Risstoto was over salted and under cooked with frozen veg tossed in(by the tase of them anyway). The duck was underseasoned skin wasn't crispy and the duck wasnt rested so it leaked all over the plate. To top it off everything was very expensive. There are a dozen restaurants in charlston for the same price I dont recommend settling for this place.

    Food was great. Service was okay, but a little slow. Took awhile to get our first drinks. Then at the end they seemed to forget our dessert order and we had to ask for it. We were there on a Friday night and the little jazz combo was good.

    The best fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese, tomato coulis, and balsamic reduction is the best I’ve ever had. Beautifully presented as well. It deserves a standing ovation! We had two different entrees—salmon and the other was mahi. Both were perfectly cooked. Our server was attentive and accommodating when we asked for substitutions for the sides. If you only have one day in Charleston, this is the restaurant you should reserve.

    We made reservations. No tables left and sat us on sidewalk by a truck with trash outside. The portions for dinner especially chicken were extremely small. One piece of broccoli and one spoonful of potatoes. One tiny piece of chicken. The salmon was dry. The Mgr apologized and offered some soup. One waiter for outside tables. Plus they let a girl take her dog inside that as not a service dog. The beignets were good. Will never choose Eli’s again.

    The service was terrible. Our waiter was lost, we had to go to the host stand to ask them to find him at one point. The main courses-rack of lamb and scallops-cooked perfectly and both came out hot. We ordered lattes and beignets for dessert. We were halfway through the lattes when the rock hard beignets arrived. The martinis I had were 75% water. I mentioned this to the waiter and he offered no resolution and the Sind one was no better. There was a large party in the middle of our dining room who were extremely loud, not the restaurant’s fault, but better ways to seat large parties needs to be considered. It’s too bad as the main courses were superb, but we won’t be back.
