    We thought we’d be in the main dining area with the stained glass but we weren’t and of course the seating was crowded. Mashed potatoes weren’t hot and we didn’t feel like we got out $$’s worth of food (turkey, etc) the bisque was good and dessert was good (small). Most foodies will like this, it just wasn’t for us.

    Thanksgiving dinner was absolutely incredible! Would most definitely go back for Thanksgiving or any other time! Far exceeded my expectations, see my yelp review photos so I don’t have to type it all over again!

    Sorry, I don’t get it. This place gets very good reviews on social media but we were very disappointed. The decor was cool particularly the main dining area but the menu was very limited especially for vegetarians. And it wasn’t very good. The only non-meat option was ravioli which was bland. So was the fried chicken. And, of course, it wasn’t cheap. We did research beforehand so we knew about the limited menu but decided to go based upon the positive reviews. Very surprised that in cuisine-rich city like Charleston this is considered a standout restaurant.

    Initially we thought we would not have a good experience due to the location of our table. But after our waiter found out it Was our 36 anniversary he moved us to the main room where the ambience the Christmas lights was More appealing and enjoyable for our celebration.

    Very nice spot… Old Church vibe, with a bit of civil war nostalgia. We enjoyed the fried chicken and southern salad. Chicken was crispy n moist, but… $30.00 for 1/2 chicken? Some pickles and cornbread, but no sides? Salad was fresh and flavorful. Our server was very distracted, and likely wished we had gone somewhere else? Don’t think we would return. Too many other spots for great food and service in this lovely city!! YMMV

    Hostess needs some help with her customer service skills. When you walk into a restaurant, or anywhere, the employee that should be greeting you should not just stand there and stare at you. They are the ones with the job to say “hi, how can I help?” The customer should not have to initiate the conversation. She barely looked up at us and hours after we left we got an email from OpenTable asking us why we didn’t show up to our reservation. Maybe ask the hostess why “we didn’t show up?” Our waiter was nice. We ordered broccoli that didn’t show up until dessert. The waiter kept coming over to apologize and he was great but it was completely bizarre that it took broccoli so long to cook. The stems were inedible because they were so hard. Such a weird experience. The braided ravioli was extremely tasty as was the scallop dish, although they could have been seared better.
