    Could’ve made a better breakfast at home. Ordered salads and mine wasn’t dressed. Waitress never came to check on our food, so I waved down another waitress as my friend was already done her salad. I asked for another side of dressing . Still, nothing. Walked up to the bar & had to hunt down our waitress to get dressing for my salad. Terrible food, terrible service, good drinks.

    DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. Go in, have a drink, take pics, then find another place to invest your money. We were so excited to get a table at this top-rated Charleston restaurant to celebrate a birthday while in Charleston for a long weekend. We walked in and WOW...stunning architecture, and beautifully decorated. Our waiter was very nice and we jumped right in to drinks and appetizers. There was a Prix-fixe menu available, 3 courses for $50. The NOLA shrimp and Morrocon Meatballs were delicious. It was an A+ start..... then it happened. This place slid into a C- really, really fast. We ordered the Airline Chicken (dry, overcooked), Salmon (dry-over cooked) and Filet Mignon (under seasoned, tough, and overall mediocre). Desserts including Carrot Cake, Oreo Cookie Brownie and a Blondie were "okay" - nothing to write home about. We were incredibly disappointed since this is such a highly ranked Open Table restaurant. Something as basic as cooking a good steak are table stakes in my opinion, and the quality of the cut of meat itself should have been better at a leading restaurant. How hard is it to mess up filet mignon? It was definitely not a PRIME cut. Our waiter did give us 50% off of one of the entrees in the party since she had to send the salmon back, it wasn't even edible and reeked of a fishy odor. It's really too bad because we had high hopes for this place. Won't waste $$ there again.
