Slow to be seated and slow for our server to arrive. After our initial contact with server service was excellent. We will be back and I do understand short staffing. I just wish some more eye contact was made and our presence was acknowledged.

My wife and I had a great experience here. The food was fantastic-from the cocktails to the appetizers and then the main dish. The only complaint was that the main dish came out before we were even done with the share plate appetizer. Other than that, great experience

The people who work/serve there are excellent- no complaints. I like that they have a "short menu". They need to get control of their menus; no consistency from what's posted online to what's posted on the front door to what's actually being served once you are seated (their fryer being down did not help, but those things happen). Some blandness in each of the courses served at our table. Bar could use some more experienced bartender(s), and maybe a bit more diversity in options. I will go back to make sure I didn't just come on a bad night; however, it's important to note that there are so few options for dining in Beaufort, so I would probably have to come back by default.

Always have loved this restaurant but was greatly dissatisfied this visit. Service was terrible. My husband and daughters French fries were undercooked and soggy, we would have let our server know but she never came back to the table, couldn’t order another drink and had to hunt her down to get the check.

Despite the restaurant being empty, they sat us at the worst table near the door and wouldn't move us. For food, it was like every dish had cheese in it which was odd. Ordered garlic shrimp and it came in a cheese sauce. Soup had cheese in it. Salmon came with cheese risotto. Nothing wrong with cheese but this was overkill. No vegetarian options on the menu. Probably won't go back.

Food isn’t as good as it used to be. Skimping on salad dressing, avocados and other ingredients. Tons of lettuce and onion in the salad - shrimp were good but clearly frozen.

I'd like to start by saying that we are local. We eat in Beaufort on a regular basis and our dinner last night at Wren was incredibly diappointing. Last night was "First Friday in Beaufort" a major envent for the town and a Christmas celebration. We made our reservation at least a month in advance. We arrived at about 650 for our 7pm reservation. We were happy to wait for our table..... My husband stood at the bar, patiently waiting for over 10 minutes before a bartender would make eye contact with him.... to finally get 2 glasses of wine. We were seated at our table at around 720. No problem. The first thing our waitress says to us.... " We're out of the meatloaf... we were out of it before you even got here." OK... hello... what's your name???? Would you like a cocktail? FYI the meatloaf is THE best thing on the menu.... so on the busiest night of the year, you were not prepared and did not make more??? OK.. we'll just order something else. My husband ordered the pasta which he said was very good. I orderd the burger medium rare. Oh my.... the burger was cooked so well done... dry and believe it or not crunchy. Fries COLD. By this point I was so tired and hungry... I did let the waitress know and she said we could start over but it would be a wait. no thanks. My husband was already into his dinner and I was HANGRY. I picked the meat and bacon off the burger. The waitress agreed and was apologetic but OVER and OVER again told us it was not her fault but the fault of the kitchen. She offered us a free dessert.... we declined as that is not somthing that we can eat. When she brought us the check, she brought us a a very little ( maybe 1-2 ounce) splash of wine to apologize for the service and quality of the food. By this point it didn't matter. There are SO many great places to eat in the area... choose someplace else...

Busy night and hostess was very accommodating to our additional guest. There were 3 of us in our party and none of us had a good meal. My pork was over cooked and dry and cold. My husband’s meatloaf was over cooked and cold. Our guest had salmon and it was undercooked— she asked for medium. Our waitress was very nice. She had a lot of tables to wait on so she was rushing around. We will certainly try Wren again on a less busy night because we love their sister restaurant, Jane’s on Hilton Head. Right now, I would not recommend to friends they go to Wren. Very nice people there but very busy.

Res. on Open Table for 7. Arrived 2 minutes early. Waited for almost 10 minutes; it appeared that they were short on staff. Hamburger special night; $10 with shoestring fries. No substitutes. Ordered 2. 1 came out medium rare & 1 came out well done. Both hamburger outsides were very charred. Fries just warm. Didn't complain but not returning for the hamburger special because it wasn't so special Wait staff was friendly and attentive.
