To begin with, Bourbon & Bubbles is beautiful. The Restaurant was mentioned as a new brunch location in North Charleston. We will be building a house uptown, so we were eager to try it. There was no disappointment. From the Chardonnay shrimp cocktail to the biscuit sandwich, everything was well prepared. My wife and I had a drink called First Love. Because she is my first love, we decided to try it. Again, it was on point. I highly recommend this restaurant, can't wait to go back.

Absolutely amazing experience here. My husband and I are still talking about it. The server shared they recently changed their menu to Modern French and everything from the cocktail to the dishes were delicious!! I think we had about 5ish plates including the brisket and fish…all knocked out of the park! Can’t wait to come back to Charleston to eat here again!

Best dining experience of our lives. We closed the menus and trusted the Head Waiter, Donnie. We ate things we would have never ordered and loved every one of them! This is a quaint little place - Brandon, Hunter and Donnie are forever intertwined in our lives. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will be eating here every time we get to Charleston. Cheers!
