   This Restaurant is Permanently Closed... obviously you have not updated your files.. The owner called and personally gave me the info as I had a reservation for Thanksgiving Day... Morgan Creek Grill was one of the best Restaurants in Isle of Palms and we are so sad that it is gone....

   Hi there, Ginger. This is certainly a surprise to hear. I'll make sure that management is aware of this review, so that we can find where things went wrong on Sunday. We do appreciate you leaving this review. Good or bad, reviews help us know where things work and where things don't. I hope that you will consider giving us another visit for our Brunch, Lunch, or Dinner as we get out of our busy season and don't experience issues of wait times moving forward. - Ryan

   We selected Morgan Creek Grill based on the TripAdvisor reviews and the menu. We were looking for fish/shellfish grilled - not fried. I had the red drum and my boyfriend had the swordfish. The entrees were delicious! We also enjoyed the restaurant ambiance.

   Aww, thanks so much, Kit! Your review and recommendation really do mean a lot to us. We are very happy to offer more than just fried food. That Lowcountry flavor is something we take pride in serving. Thank you again for your visit and we hope to see you again! - Ryan

   Food was delicious, but came out very slowly despite tables being seated after us were served their meals. Server was rare to find. Ordered a glass of wine, and it was never received. We cancelled it, and server said it was sitting on the bar. Food was exceptional, service was sub par.

    BEAUTIFUL view at sunset between the boats, docks and water. We had the most pleasant, attentive waitress and the food came out promptly. The food was good with a nice menu. All 6 of us enjoyed our food. The hot crab dip was very nice but the fried green tomatoes were a bit thick with little taste. From salads to porkchops, there is a nice selections at reasonable rates. A solid restaurant with a nice bar with games in the TVs. Will definitely go back.

    Thank you so much for the descriptive review. It's great to see that your visit was a success! I hope that you were able to discuss the tomatoes with your server.

    View at window table was great as was our server, but actual food was very disappointing! Crab dip and she crab soup were a good flavor but sadly lacking any quality crab. Fish tacos ha a very small, dry piece of mahi mahi and lacking -- you could roll up the small tortilla into a small burrito! Saturday at 5:30 and out of oysters! Roasted Brussels sprouts were shaved and hard as a rock. Sadly disappointing!

    Morgan Creek Grill - Permanently ClosedResponded on October 15, 2019

    Joel, this is certainly disappointing to hear. I do apologize that your visit was so dismal. As for the oysters, unfortunately the recent string of hurricanes have delayed all oysters coming into the Charleston area for all restaurants. For the rest of the matters, I will make sure that the kitchen is made aware. Hopefully, you had the chance to speak to your server and/or management about these issues, so that they could be resolved upon arising. Thank you for the review. - Ryan

We do not have live music on Thursday's. I just want to make sure that this was in fact the correct restaurant you dined with on Thursday. If we are indeed the correct restaurant, then I would love to follow up with some insight about the server. Thank you. - Ryan

    The people were very nice but our food was not good at all. All arrived very cold, one person sent their food back and the rest of us should have done so as well. The quality -versus- value did not compare. Don't mind paying for good food, just did not enjoy.

    Morgan Creek Grill - Permanently ClosedResponded on October 18, 2019

    Hi, John. Thank you for the review. Good or bad, we like to get feedback, so that we can see where we need improvement. It seems as if you visited us about two weeks ago. Unfortunately, it wasn't until recently that we found a good rhythm to handle the incoming business after our UpperDeck had to close from Hurricane Dorian. Since then, we made many changes that seem to be working quite well. I do apologize that your visit was unsuccessful. I invite you to try us again amidst our changes. - Ryan

    Three in our party had mediocre food at best, and two dishes were terrible. The shrimp and deviled egg appetizer was awful. Calamari was over cooked and average. She crab soup was very good. I had the Barramundi fish and seasoning was bland, and the fish gamey tasting with terrible flavor. (I should have known not to eat a fish I’d never heard of before.) My husband had the shrimp and seafood hoppin John which was just average in flavor and was mostly rice, which may be how it is supposed to be. Our server was good and friendly, but she never checked in to see how our meals were, and didn’t inquire when seeing my plate hardly touched. It was her favorite dish, so at the time I figured it was just me not liking it, so I didn’t mention it. I should have so they perhaps could have made sure nothing was wrong with the fish. Next time something is this bad I will definitely do that. We won’t return to this restaurant again though.

If guests' palates to not agree with our food, then we are always happy to accommodate and create a dish more pleasing to any individual. For reference, the barramundi is an Australian fish similar to flounder; farmed in coastal Florida. We typically serve four Fresh Catch fish if you are looking for something more local. We do hope you will consider visiting us again. - Ryan

    I booked this reservation for my parents so they could enjoy a special dinner for their 45th wedding anniversary. As my Mother is fighting cancer, I wanted her to feel special and for them both to put aside their worries and enjoy each other. I called the morning of the reservation and spoke with Ryan who allowed me to pay for a surprise dessert to be delivered to their table that evening and requested, if all possible, a water view seat. Ryan was so kind and assured he would do what he could for the seating preference. My parents dinner was amazing; the food, the service, the experience was perfect!! I cannot thank everyone enough at MCG for a very special treat for my parents who deserve so much happiness!!

    This was not our first visit and will not be our last. The server was very attentive and polite despite the fact that it looked like she was working very hard and serving tables in more than one section.

    Restaurant location is convenient but still had to wait on a table even though we had a reservation. It took 45 mins to get our appetizer and we had to find the waiter to get the entrees delivered. My fish was room temperature so not very appetizing. There are much better restaurants located only a mile or two away.

    Food was fabulous. View of the water was pretty good from our table, but wish we had been seated by window. Waitress was adequate but not overly friendly.

    Morgan Creek Grill has always been a favorite place to dine for our family. We love the view, excellent food choices, and of course, the service is always good. Great choice for a special occasion with family or friends, or just to have a drink and appetizers. You won't be disappointed.

    Maleeta, this was a very generous review. Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so pleased that your visit was such a success and we couldn't thank you enough for letting everyone know that kind of atmosphere they can experience here down at the Creek. We look forward to your next visit! - Ryan

    Our reservation kept being pushed out and then they ended up seating us at a table far from the window (view). Ran out of the special of the day...

    Thank you for your review. Last weekend was a very unusual one for us. As we had to close our Upper Deck for the hurricane season, we have had to make many changes that have been a lot of trial and error as we see what works and what doesn't. We think that since that weekend, we have found the right balance that will work for every area of our restaurant. We appreciate our guests' patience as we find the solution to these issues that Dorian gave us and hope you will come try us again. - Ryan
