    We thought we’d be in the main dining area with the stained glass but we weren’t and of course the seating was crowded. Mashed potatoes weren’t hot and we didn’t feel like we got out $$’s worth of food (turkey, etc) the bisque was good and dessert was good (small). Most foodies will like this, it just wasn’t for us.

    Sorry, I don’t get it. This place gets very good reviews on social media but we were very disappointed. The decor was cool particularly the main dining area but the menu was very limited especially for vegetarians. And it wasn’t very good. The only non-meat option was ravioli which was bland. So was the fried chicken. And, of course, it wasn’t cheap. We did research beforehand so we knew about the limited menu but decided to go based upon the positive reviews. Very surprised that in cuisine-rich city like Charleston this is considered a standout restaurant.

    Initially we thought we would not have a good experience due to the location of our table. But after our waiter found out it Was our 36 anniversary he moved us to the main room where the ambience the Christmas lights was More appealing and enjoyable for our celebration.

    Very nice spot… Old Church vibe, with a bit of civil war nostalgia. We enjoyed the fried chicken and southern salad. Chicken was crispy n moist, but… $30.00 for 1/2 chicken? Some pickles and cornbread, but no sides? Salad was fresh and flavorful. Our server was very distracted, and likely wished we had gone somewhere else? Don’t think we would return. Too many other spots for great food and service in this lovely city!! YMMV

    The food is just not good. You can tell everything is premade like a hotel buffet and they just scoop it onto plates when orders are placed, especially since it came out literally 2 mins after we ordered. Felt the same at the Charlotte location but wanted to try Charleston in hopes it would be better. The restaurant is beautiful however.
