    Great date night experience! Arrived early and sat at the bar, bar staff could not be more friendly, cocktails were fabulous. We were seated for dinner right in time for our reservation time. Wait staff was quick ti greet us and take drink orders. Baked oysters were fabulous, bread was served still warm. Redfish special was cooked perfectly, jasmine rice was moist and fluffy. This is one of the most consistent restaurants downtown.

    This was the most disappointing meal we had in Downtown Charleston. My husband ordered swordfish and it was a joke, 1/4” thick, cooked like shoe leather and no seasoning They had a sauce “on the side” that was supposed to make up for that? Everywhere we have ever had swordfish it has been 3/4” thick like a steak, moist and tender. This was dry and tough because it was cut too thin I had a $32 scallop dish. The scallops themselves were ok but the grits in the middle of the plate were soupy, and the veggies that were sautéed together made no sense to the overall presentation of the entree. They tasted like chopped up mushrooms, peppers and onions that you would use in an omelet, not one of the higher end entrees on the menu. Save your money and go elsewhere. We won’t be back.

    Food was never hot, just lukewarm. Scallops not properly seared. So tasted and looked boiled. Conch fritters were excellent, as were fried oysters and crab soup.

    We all were disappointed with the overall experience. It was a Sunday evening, and the place was just about empty. We didn't need the reservation. The food was just so so. The waitress was good but overall it wasn't a fun place to go.

    Our first experience here was great! The server had great suggestions. We had a dozen local oysters and the calamari for an appetizer. They were both good. The Tilefish was delicious as was the jambalaya. Great selection of craft beer and good wine. No wait as we had reservations. Overall, we loved it!
