We loved Church and Union - the venue was beautiful and our server Jonah certainly added to the positive experience sharing the background of the building and the artwork on the ceilings and walls. And, our food came quickly and was very tasty. So glad we chose this place for Sunday Brunch!

We loved our dinner at Amen! We arrived early for our reservation and had oysters, clams, and drinks at the bar before our dinner. So good! We had the surf and turf special and Lowcountry Bouillabaisse - both were delicious.
