    Food was good. Service was slow. Daughter ordered lobster bisque soup and half salad as her meal. She asked for both of them to come out at the same time. The salad came out first and after 45 minutes and asking numerous times for the soup we finally canceled the soup order. Soup! That should be already made in a pot. Just scoop it in the bowl. No real apologies were made. They just said, oh I’ll let the kitchen know you don’t want your soup anymore. That was ridiculous. The food was good but sadly because of the service, I don’t think we will go back. And just for perspective, the restaurant was not overly crowded, our waitress had someone training with her, so there was an additional person to help, and someone else on the table ordered French onion soup and received it.

    Rylan led us through a wonderful meal, she was a bright spot, beautiful smile, and knowledgable! She guided us through 3 courses and we were too stuffed to choose a dessert! Maybe next time!

    The menu read far better than the food that we had. The lobster bisque was for me too salty and thickened. The grouper that I ordered was nicely done but the hollandaise sauce described as containing lump crab did not in fact contain anything and as a crab lover I was disappointed . I can’t review the meals of the other 3 diners as I did not try them. Overall we still had a good night but my expectations were higher.

    Waited 45 minutes for a simple appetizer, and longer for our entrees. Then the hostess arrived at our table basically asking us to leave as they had another diner whose reservation time was next. There were NINE open tables directly in front of us. Unbelievable…and am not going there again.

    Food and service was great. Guy bar tender wasn’t the most friendly person but drinks were prepared nicely. Also, we’re out of certain things that they normally carry.

    One of our favorite rested in the area. Greatblocatuon on the square in historic Pendleton. The food is yummy, from the delicious burgers to the amazing sushi. And quite a bonus for bogo sushi night on Tuesdays. The atmosphere is nice and the staff friendly. A must try if out antique hunting or going to nearby Clemson.

    We enjoyed dinner, everything fulfilled our expectations except your creme brule, which was a total disappointment; we should have sent it back and not paid for it.
