I will start by saying that our server was in an impossible situation tonight. I think she needs coaching on how to deal with a situation like that. The location was impressive and the concept should work. But it didn’t. Now the food was OK. My group of seven coworkers ordered several appetizers and multiple different entrées and cocktails. the sliders were good, but not outstanding, I didn’t try the eggs because you’re welcome. Green tomatoes were pleasantly crispy, but lacking flavor. The brussels sprouts were cooked well and the sauce was tasty, but there was just way too much of it. I had the shrimp and grits and i’d say that it was probably the best tasting thing of the night at the table. Two people had the catch of the day which happened to be halibut. One loved it. One could’ve passed. There were two orders of the lobster gnocchi, and neither one of them were thrilled with it, One had the mac & cheese with the spicy fried chicken and that was very tasty from what I understand and the other had the seared sea scallops. She was very pleased the biggest issue tonight was the length of time that everything took. We were there for well over an hour before our appetizers started arriving. I don’t mind waiting for food truly. This was out of control. Our server made excuses and blame the Kitchen which I’m sure was the real problem but that’s just not something you do. Don’t throw your coworkers under a bus. This was not a cheap dinner by any stretch, the bill was well north of $500 for seven people. I do not believe this is a restaurant I will be coming back to on my next trip to Charleston.

It's a great place to unwind and enjoy a lowcountry evening. It's overlooking the Ashley River, which makes it very easy to relax during a sunset. The outdoor seating on very comfortable chairs is very much a great plus.

Great spot for a cigar

Such a great spot! Nice view. Great service!! Alas not a single vegan item on the menu anymore. Can you imagine how busy it would be if the vegan nachos were available again! Bring them back and watch us vegans support you! Places with decent vegan options in Charleston are packed.

The roof top bar is only on the 3rd floor of a 14 floor building.Was terribly understaffed during our stay

Very nice cozy place.

Nice bartender. Good location and it was little uncomfortable early part but as it got darker it cooled off. I had flat bread but wish there are better choices to spend a full evening vs going to different place for real dinner. Overall, it is good experience.

Not high enough to be a legit roof top , it was on the third floor and empty though I visited mid week so wasn't expecting a lot of people , but overall it's a good option to have .

We have been sitting her for 45 minutes waiting on a flatbread. Finished our drinks and are ready for bed now. This is ridiculous. Terrible service. One start is too much.

1st time here with the ladies on a much needed evening out. Did not appreciate being rushed and forced to pay cash for food upon ordering as if we were going to dine and dash lol. “Karen” need to learn some interpersonal skills. Never coming back.
