Tavern & Table is the dream child of Cecil & Dianne Crowley, Andy Palmer & Jeff Condon. After years of working together on various successful restaurant concepts, they wanted to bring together the very best aspects of fine dining and casual hospitality in a beautiful and comfortable setting. Tavern & Table is more than a restaurant, it was created to be a gathering place where people sit in comfort and share small plates for the table or enjoy a hearty meal. The bartenders know the fine art of cocktail making and their interest in flavor and presentation comes alive in not only in the food but in barrel aged cocktails that are created in-house.

Great meal and great service from Jessica. A great restaurant experience, a classic spot. Noise level was high initially but then calmed down. Everything was high quality, from cocktails to oysters to entrees and you have to get the coconut cake. If you are in Charleston, you need to eat here!

We had our Thanksgiving lunch at Boathouse. We loved being able to order off of the menu unlike other restaurants that charged super high prices for a Thanksgiving buffet only. Having a vegan daughter with food restrictions she was able to order delicious food off of the menu instead of us paying $75 -$125 per person elsewhere for her to eat rolls and potatoes. My son and I had the Thanksgiving special which was delicious!!! My husband had a seafood mix that consisted of lobster tails, scallops and shrimp. Also delicious as we shared our meals. Jocelyn was our server and she was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. The wait time on our meals was minimal. Everything came out hot and so good. Having never been to Boathouse due to us being in town for the holiday we were Very Very pleased with everything about our experience. Boathouse will Definitely be on our itinerary the next time we are in IOP.
