    Not at all what I expected. Food was not bad but everything else was unsatisfactory.

    This place is horrible there’s no hostess you’re told to go order your food from the bartender and then they’ll bring your food out to you… Way below the usual standards for OpenTable

    The server was very friendly and tried to explain that there was very little kitchen staff due to some events. But at 5/6pm on a Saturday, I didn't realize we would have to wait more than an hour for food. Then, the food was not great. My daughter didn't like her popcorn chicken and my chicken sandwich was just coated in BBQ and some shredded cheese on top. I really wish I had just found a restaurant locally, but we were hungry and tired from traveling.

    The bartender didn’t know what my drink even was, and also didn’t tell me how much of an extra charge would be for adding another shot to my drink. So I paid $11 for a shot in a $12 drink. Pretty disappointed that I paid $26 for a drink that didn’t even taste good. All I had was their breakfast, but it wasn’t any better than McDonald’s breakfast. It just tasted cheap.

    MeaganP, Thank you for providing feedback. We apologize for not meeting your expectations and can assure you that we are continually training our staff and work towards providing the best service possible. It is regretful that our food did not meet your expectations. We hope that you would return in the future to provide us with an opportunity to show you that your experience was not a normal occurrence for us. Our Creme Brule French Toast is a signature dish that always pleases.

    Some training definitely needs to happen. Long waits for drinks, no water provided, long wait for appetizers, no plates given, etc. One waitress really tried, but the service was really below substandard. Remove opentable if you’re not going to use it. The cost for the food, is not worth the bad service!

    When entering I said we had a reservation for an outdoor seating. No one had any idea that they took reservations. No table was reserved, it was basically first come first serve. The servers were extremely nice but was overworked. They definitely needed more help

    Giving a 1 star because of how rude we were treated. When we arrived for our 9:00 reservation (10 min early) the bartender told us “sorry- kitchens closed. You’ll have to go somewhere else” and then just ignored us. Then we were standing in the lobby figuring out where to go and watched another gentleman walk up to the bar and order food to go. We went back to ask if we could do that, and she still said no. Since we were staying in the hotel, we did eat breakfast there the next morning. Food was good, service still lacking.

    The eggs Benedict was made with a hard boiled eggs instead of a poached. When we asked about it the server had a snarky response. The service was mediocre. Made a reservation on Thursday which was fine but a family of 4 sat down after us and received their orders and checked out before we (family of 4) had even received our food.

    We had the most wonderful breakfast...poolside. Our host, Michael Stevens, was incredible, making the experience even more memorable. (And the eggs Benedict were the best I’ve ever had!)

    Food was delicious and staff was great - especially the manager Michael. We stumbled on to live music by the pool so that's where our table was so I can't really review the inside area but it looked nice. Great evening at Eliza!

    First visit to Charleston. Stopped here to get dinner before traveling out that evening. Waited an hour to get food that never came or even a simple sweet tea. People that came half an hour later after us received their drinks. We only got water. Went to the bar to check on our food but found no one there. Left without notice or care from whatever staff actually works here. Oh and speaking of the staff, this place seems to put their newest servers on the same shift because what can go wrong with that? Horrible service! Not even worth one star. After walking out my wife and I went to Chick-fil-A to receive real customer service and care. Don’t come here if you want to add to a good Charleston experience or simply hungry. Otherwise feel free to come for water if that is your preferred drink and or meal.

    Not a restaurant. This is a counter inside of a hotel. This place should be removed from opentable. The people were even unable to give us their location, as the google directions were inaccurate. Do not waste your time.

    This is a restaurant in a hotel; and next to no staff. Went there with three friends based on the Open Table recommendation. Service was non existent. Food came out cold and in the wrong order. I asked for bourbon neat; came with ice Had to find the wait staff to get a check; after waiting over 15 minutes. Avoid the place.

    An unexpected find. Definitely not fancy...at first glance it’s just a poolside bar. But our entrees were delicious and very inexpensive for the quality. Small menu. Attentive service. Excellent spot for happy hour or casual dinner.

    This restaurant is in the new(ish) Hotel Indigo and both times we've dined with them, we've been the only patrons which is a bit disconcerting. The staff are super nice and helpful and the small menu is really adequate for a quick supper. The drinks menu doesn't offer any bottles, only by the glass, although bottles are available. They also call Freixnet Champagne and got quite argumentative about it. Its Cava folks. On the small plates the shrimp sliders and the mac & cheese are fantastic. Spoiler alert - the mac & cheese feeds 4 as an appetizer easily and you still might have some left over. We've tried various entrees and the burger and scallops are highly recommended. First time around the fish (in the fish and chips) was very lightly breaded and was delicious, this time more stodgy but still delicious, just a lot more breading to strip away. They advertise Eliza's famous fries which considering they haven't been open a year seems pretentious. They are good fries but famous? It appears nobody has even heard of the restaurant, so doubtful the fries have made it onto instagram yet. I do wish them well and hope more people come in for a drink and stay for dinner.

    We actually had a nice meal at Eliza’s but the ambience was lacking (inside the hotel) and the service was slow. The scallops and shrimp and grits was very good but my side (quinoa) wasn’t enjoyable.

    I'm not sure if we hit a bad night, but we got no service for a long time, even several servers walked past and didn't even acknowledge us or offer to get a drink or even a glass of water. We walked out unnoticed after 20 minutes. Too bad. I was looking forward to trying the food and the atmosphere was nice.
