    Food was good. The goat cheese gnocchi was outstanding. The pork chop special was pretty good. The only thing we did not like were the crispy brussel sprouts. The sauce was too salty and overbearing. Also disappointed that for the price, the old fashioned had regular ice in it. However the almond basket dessert was to die for. Would definitely go back, just might order differently next time.

    One of the BEST MEALS we’ve had in Charleston! From the drinks to Eastern Oysters, Caesar salad, grouper, crispy flounder to the BEST pecan pie with ice cream and decaf coffee.
