    Know that it is tapas style. That came as a surprise. Overall, we had seven dishes for three people, which is one more than we wanted - the server misunderstood our discussion and brought the seventh. Six of the seven were very good. The “mistake”; not so good. Three small plates and three large are a good size and assortment for three people. The stuffed cabbage, beef and halibut were all spectacular. The cocktails were very good but bar service left a lot to be desired. The covered outdoor patio is lovely.

    I pretty much never write reviews, but I feel compelled to write this one to say that our experience with the tasting menu at Ma'am Saab was incredible! The flavors were out of this world, the portions were generous, the spice level was perfect, and what capped off the experience was the incredibly hospitable and jovial waitstaff. We felt like we were dining in a close friend's home. We were so well taken care of, especially for my picky 5 year old who LOVED the chicken pakora the brought for him outside of the tasting menu. It was also Valentine's dinner night, which I know can be a hectic time in restaurants, but truly our experience could not have been better! I can't wait to return!

    What a wonderful dinner. We absolutely loved our sever, he was attentive, funny and had the prefect balance of interaction. The ambience of the restaurant was top notch, intimate, but still fun. All of our food was exceptionally good. We would highly recommend The Establishment.

    We live in Nashville and come to Charleston twice a year. This is our favorite restaurant hands down. Honestly, they deserve a James Beard Award. The food is incredibly imaginative with unusual flavors. From the short rib, roasted cauliflower and beet dessert there’s nothing quite like this.
