    Took my daughter for her first time at L'Opossum while home during Thanksgiving and it couldn't have been a more special night and awesome experience for her. My wife and I do quite often and wanted to celebrate our daughter's job offer prior to graduating from the University of South Carolina. Making a reservation was so easy on Open Table and upon seeing I could reserve a table I did it immediately. When we got to L'Opossum we were greeted by everyone as soona as we walked in. As soon as our table was ready we sat and started chatting with our server, Kendall (who is amazing), talking about our day, evening, and welcoming us. Drinks were amazing including a newly created Mocktail that was recommended. Every aspect of food was amazing, we have never had a bad meal and absolutely love every item on the menu. We ordered desert, coffee, and got the chance to sit and enjoy the moment in an amazingly fun and unique environment. Always enjoy our trips to L'Opossum and know we will have an amazing evening everytime we go. Cheers to L'Opossum for consistantly being beyond amazing.
