Low Country She Crab Soup tastes like a hug from a loved one. I’m not talking about just a relative, I’m talking about someone who loves you and cares about your joy and happiness 🤗🥰. The she crab soup loves me and I love her back! It was phenomenal!!! …and so was the pork tenderloin saltimbocca along with the old fashioned! We also had cheese cake 😋 …so fresh and tasty! Everything was delicious and the service impeccable! Will definitely visit again!

4.4 overall for me. Went here before comedy show on a weekday. Decor is nice but the vibe needs work with some different music or something. Just feels little stuffy. Service was great as our waiter was on top of everything. Also, the bread they give to the table was warm and delicious. Split an order of their fried chicken and Henry burger. Had heard the burger was really good but I wasn’t very impressed. Thought it was an above average burger but nothing I’d rave about and the fries only had a very slight hint of truffle. The chicken, however, was delicious with all the accompaniments working perfectly together to give a tasty dish. I don’t know where the rosemary jus was but wish there was more of it and I do think $31 is a bit overpriced for chicken and should be mid/high twenties. Ove

Dinner was good but not great. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the atmosphere is pretty nice and everybody was extremely cordial. I would have rated it higher but we felt that the execution was off. The appetizers just weren't that exciting. The tuna tartar was cut in to chunky and the octopus needed to be marinated. They both lacked flavor. The pork milanese was fantastic and I would recommend it. The airline chicken was severely overcooked. As a closing note the vanilla Old-Fashioned cocktail was very very good. The overall dinner and experience did not live up to the price point.

This place was amazing from start to finish. The hostess was welcoming and professional, the bartender was friendly and helpful and our server was super friendly and informative. The chef came out and spoke with us after we complimented the food so much and spent time talking about his love for food with us. The food was out of this world. By far the best meatballs I’ve ever eaten. The steaks were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The sides accompanied the main dishes and almost stole the show in ways. The cocktails were tasty and they did not skimp on the alcohol. The prices match the quality of the food and the level of service you expect for a nice night out. Locals are lucky to have this gem. Thank you for a memorable experience.

Absolutely amazing. We had the pork belly and Brussels sprouts to start with black manhattans from the bar. My husband had the crab cakes and I had the filet. We both shared and topped it off with the cheesecake topped with the luxardo cherries and delicious coffee for dessert. A night to remember for our 34th wedding anniversary.
