    Food was good. The goat cheese gnocchi was outstanding. The pork chop special was pretty good. The only thing we did not like were the crispy brussel sprouts. The sauce was too salty and overbearing. Also disappointed that for the price, the old fashioned had regular ice in it. However the almond basket dessert was to die for. Would definitely go back, just might order differently next time.

    It was our first time in Charleston and we stumbled upon this restaurant. We had a great meal and left happy and full. If you sit in the “bourbon” side you have to make sure to check out the “bubbles” side too! Great contrast while still being cohesive. My husband and I recommend! I had the Sunday Sauce special and it was *chefs kiss*!

    Excellent service. Had multiple servers attend to us. Very helpful in explaining the entrees in detail and helping us decide. Our meals were excellent, one pasta and one scallops. Very interesting building with lots of character. We will be back.

    So happy to see one of Charlestons best chefs, Zach Woody, cooking at Coterie. It’s a great place , with wonderful patio dining, that is not on the tourists radar. We look forward to watching the menu evolve under his direction.
