Great meal and great service from Jessica. A great restaurant experience, a classic spot. Noise level was high initially but then calmed down. Everything was high quality, from cocktails to oysters to entrees and you have to get the coconut cake. If you are in Charleston, you need to eat here!

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!

Everything was great. We had a couple cocktails. I had the filet mignon and my husband had the crabcake. We then decided to get the dessert that had some chocolate and whipped cream, but I don’t remember the name of it. Everything was delicious and our server was super nice
