Charleston Bistro, Sweet Shoppe & Wine Bar

Attended a wedding here this evening. Handicap parking right at the entrance. Wedding and reception on the 2 ND floor. Restrooms were clean. Sound system was clear. Food served was excellent. Shrimp in pasta, red potatoes, and green beans with sausage. DJ was an old friend I hadn't seen in years. Staff was efficient and friendly. They converted the wedding area to a reception area in 20 minutes. A well oiled machine. Great time for all.

Delicious food, friendly service in a historic building. Thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The only thing I can say that wasn't great was price to portion ratio, but aside from that it was an outstanding meal. We had the pork wings, the crab cakes and the shrimp and crawfish chicken. All seemed really well prepared.

Very pleased. Great service. Nice atmosphere and most of all delicious food.

Great atmosphere; nicely decorated with an elegant setting. Clean. Dinning was very disappointing. We did have a large group made by reservation, but it took a very long time to get any food. Bread was served- 8 slices for the entite table of about 25 and it was only placed at one end of the table. People were served their entrees at different times, which left people eating cold food because we were waiting for everyone to have food to not be rude. One person got their gumbo then nobody else got food for about another 15-30 minutes. The table was still serving people their entrees when half of the table had been finished already. The quality of the food was just okay. For the price you pay, I don't think the dining is worth it.

A friend and I had lunch there today. I had the Beef Pot Roast which was phenomenal. But we were there for pretty much 2 hours we had to wait awhile before we had to go boxes and the check. I wasn't even able to get a soda refill because it took a long time before she came back so we could ask for the boxes and everything. I think they need more servers so there isn't a wait like this. There didn't seem to be many servers working for the amount of tables at the time. Also the bar table height along with the chairs really aren't short people friendly. We were originally sitting at the bar but when our food came we realized there was no way we could eat at the bar due to the bar being so high up. We felt like little kids sitting at the grown ups table. And for reference I am 5'3".
