Delicious food with great service and cozy atmosphere. We had a wonderful meal and would recommend this restaurant highly. I am vegetarian and there were several options to choose from.

An incredible meal. Was difficult to determine what to order because it all sounded intriguing! Many vegetarian options because they are heavy produce, but so much better! Had eggplant for our app, fish and pasta for dinner.

My husband wouldn’t stop raving about the sourdough and butter! We had very fresh offerings and the peaches were so good we ordered another! Highly recommend!

My friend and I came in for a quick dessert and a glass of wine after dinner. We were sat immediately and the hosts were super nice and asked if a booth was suitable. After taking a quick glance at the menu our server Anna came and greeted us, walking us through the dessert menu. We mentioned that my friend has a nut allergy and Anna quickly confirmed with the kitchen that the nuts she was allergic to were not in or on the dessert we ordered. The Ricotta almond cake was DIVINE. A perfect suggestion made by our server. It practically melted in our mouths! The textures were soft with a bit of crunch at the end from the almonds! Overall it was an amazing experience! We will absolutely be back for a full course meal! Thank you Anna!

Wow! I had the most delicious roasted peaches topped with granola over whipped feta! If I hadn’t gotten takeout I would’ve ordered a second. 😋

The food was great, unfortunately, that’s where the positives ended.

We had an 8:15 reservation for six, sat down around 8:05, and didn’t see our server until 8:30. Drinks didn’t arrive for almost an hour, and when one of us ordered an extra dirty martini, it came back as basically straight vodka.

Our server was cold and unhelpful, we even had to ask her to explain the menu. When someone asked what type of steak was being served, she couldn’t answer. For a restaurant aiming at this level, that’s pretty shocking.

As for someone in the industry, I absolutely hate writing reviews like this but I truly felt it was necessary.

Great food, terrible service. If you’re going just for the meal, you’ll be happy—but don’t expect the experience to match.

Arrived to a relatively quiet restaurant… many empty tables. No waitress for 15+ minutes. Fortunately the hostess was excellent and noticed returning to our table to take our drink order.
When we got our waitress I asked for a little more detail on a dish. It was literally explained exactly as written on menu which wasn’t helpful. I asked if the fish was fried or pan seared explaining I don’t like fried. I was assured it was pan seared…
My meal arrived looking rather weak. Fish was fried and had a very bland taste. Shrimp had an odd flavor that made me question their age…
Rice was ok, but seasoning seemed off.
Would not recommend. Poor service, and poor food quality.

The hostess told me the kitchen was very flexible working with my celiac. This was not the case, very frustrating. The food was over seasoned and we waited twenty minutes for our server to greet us. Interesting that the hostess came by and asked us after ten minutes if we had met our server ( I guess she didn't feel a need to send her over) Our drinks took another twenty minutes. People say you can't get a bad meal in Charleston-we found it and it was overpriced.

Thoroughly enjoyable visit. Service was very friendly, prompt and efficient. Space is roomy, airy and tasteful. Had the wood fired peaches, radiatore, mafaldine, and almond cake. Everything was excellent and creative, and prices appropriate given the quality and portion size. This will now be a must visit when in Charleston.

Overpriced, mediocre restaurant with terrible service. It's empty on a Saturday night and we sit for 30 minutes without getting a greeting from a waiter. Then our drinks take another 20 minutes. We left after some appetizers that also were lack luster. Place blows
