Customer Reviews
This was my first visit. I had a 7:30 reservation and arrived 30 minutes early. Seated by 7:15. Our waiter Marcus, was quite pleasant and provided great feedback of our meal choice. He was quick and attentive. For our first course, we had local beet salad and mussels. Absolutely delicious!!! For the entree we had the swordfish replacement, Tilefish ( because they sold out of the swordfish). We’ve never heard of Tilefish and it was a great choice!!The shrimp and grits was delicious and savory. The only thing we were not to happy with was the cold air coming from the patio. It was a rather cool night. It was hard to relax because we were cold, sadly. I’m sure the atmosphere would have been better if we were not so cold. The parking is extremely tight and small so expect to possibly park on t
First time here during early dinner service on a Saturday. Marcus was our server and he was friendly and attentive. I ordered the lamb and ricotta tortellini for my first course, and it was not only delicious, but beautifully plated. For my second course, I went with the recommended steak and have to say, it was underwhelming. It was cooked to my requested temperature, but had a lot of fat and gristle, and wasn’t at all tender. I wish I had picked something else. I paired it with the Bodegas Tempranillo, which was excellent. For dessert I can never resist a crème brûlée so I went with that. Also delicious. My table mate enjoyed his mixed green salad, and shrimp and grits entree. Though my entree could’ve been better, I would still go back, and choose something different next time.
Excellent food choices. Next time plan to eat my way through the starter menu. The mussels and broth were cooked to perfection. The side bread was amazing. The wine selection was on point. I also had the SC sword fish entre’ which was excellent. Dessert was tasty along with hot coffee. I definitely will be back! Thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience.
Ashlea was an outstanding bartender. She was welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive, and made the experience even better. If you’re sitting at the bar, she’s absolutely someone you want taking care of you. Please refer to the beautiful lady in the middle (Ashlea)!
We went in for brunch and had a fantastic meal! The deviled eggs were fantastic as was the cheese spread. The burger was great as well. Good combination of flavors and the bun was light, but crisp. The drinks were marvelous. The Second Opinion had some great smokiness which paired well with the other flavors. Marleigh was a great server! Friendly and attentive. Overall, an incredible experience and highly recommended!
