    Great “hidden” restaurant. Coming in via the alley made our start unique. We got there 30 minutes before reservations and sit at the bar. The bartender was busy and took 5 minutes to acknowledge we were there and told us he’d be with us shortly. Not impressed with the bartender but at least the drinks were good. We had to see hostess almost 45 minutes after our arrival and inquired on reservations. She apologized profusely as they’d checked us in and had not seated us. Paid our unsmiling or social bartender and hoped for better experience in dining room. Our server was sweet and the food was amazing! I would definitely go again in hopes that there was improvement in the basic things you expect in a restaurant just because the food was great. Customer service and hospitality will make up for most things lacking and we hadn’t had that experience yet in all our visits to Charleston.

    I was not impressed. We had a 20 minute wait even though we had a reservation. The food was only so, so. Undercooked flounder with not much taste. The crab stuffing was the only thing that saved it. The fried shrimp was ok, fries greasy, slaw was good. Our server was very good. I will not be back. Too many other restaurants in Charleston to choose from.

    Food was delicious, but it’s unfortunate when the bread, appetizer and main meal come out at the same time.

    The atmosphere is pleasant. Service us brusque and impersonal. Our she crab soup was served barely warm. It was replaced with another bowl of barely warm soup, which makes me question food safety. I ordered the combination with a parsley butter sauce. The sauce was only some cold butter mixed with parsley on the side. The vegetables were soggy. I would nit recommend this restaurant at all. With all the beautiful restaurants in Charleston, I do not know how they stay in business.

    The place was fun and lively. Service was good. The food was very average and lukewarm. Very expensive for the quality of food in my opinion. Recommend coming here to hang at the bar and have appetizers.

    Had 4 fabulous meals , one daughter has celiac and waiter was able to help us navigate safe choices with the menu and propose alternatives and personally went to talk to the chef . I got the crab stuffed flounder and it could have fed 2 people. Love the alley and all of the holy City restaurants but coast is our fav! Highly recommend, def worth it !!!
