Sorry to say that I was not impressed with my dish. I love tarvin shrimp and was looking forward to this pasta dish. The taste was good, the shrimp was lacking in quantity. I am not sure if there were even two shrimp in the dish, as they cut the shrimp into small pieces. Same with my husband and his scallop dish, described as with cauliflower, a very small amount. The fluffy bread was tasty and warm. I didn’t take a photo since it didn’t look like like the ones I have seen on the posts here. The only good thing is that it is close by and convenient to get to. In the future, I will stick with pizza and salad.

Plentiful seating in the patio area. You can have a great meal and watch games if sports are on. The service is fantastic- Suggestions of food to try are very helpful
Portions are smaller. We had two appetizer and two entrees and dessert. Everything tasted amazing. When we asked the server a few specific menu questions, one question being a protein potion size (answered vaguely- “um medium size”). The second question was to describe a dish we were not familiar with but the staff member was not able to answer. Good thing there is google.

I honestly don't understand why this place doesn't get much better reviews then it does. It hands down is the best restaurant in all of North Mt. Pleasant. Great ambiance, friendly staff, innovative cuisine (try finding other restaurants with the creativity of this menu in North Mt pleasant) fantastic cocktails, solid wine list, indoor and outdoor seating, approachable pricing for the quality of the food you're receiving, killer desserts, basically almost everything you would receive from eating at a restaurant downtown but without the high price tag, 25 minute drive, lack of parking, etc that you would get from going downtown. Don't get me wrong there's a time and place for going downtown and the caliber of downtown is of course higher than Lola Rose but it's dang close in some respects and the convenience factor sometimes Trump's the whole process of going downtown. If people don't like this restaurant it just shows the bad taste that all us transplants coming from Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, etc. have in restaurants. It just proves that only the large chain restaurants like mellow mushroom, PF Chang's ,(or mediocre Mexican restaurants) etc thrive in a place like Mt. Pleasant... which is sad. We need more great restaurants like this in North Mt. Pleasant honestly, so please don't listen to the reviews and make a decision for yourself and go have lunch or dinner at Lola Rose and you will see how good it really is. And don't sleep on the pizza, it's fantastic! However the pasta dishes I think could be the star of the show. Get one of each and you won't be disappointed.

The food, staff, and environment are excellent. I had the prosciutto-wrapped swordfish with squash purée and brown butter vinaigrette, and it was absolutely outstanding! Each bite was perfectly balanced, and the presentation was elegant. A must-try if you’re in the area! Chef Hunter is a living legend ?

Went here a while back and everything was good, had a reservation tonight 8/24/24 at 6:30 three groups came in after us at around 6:25 or so and got seated I questioned what the issue was and got told my wife and I had a few minutes more to wait, this is unacceptable in my eyes as people came in after us and got seated before us while there were open seats in the restaurant. This place will not be getting another chance from us, they have lost our business permanently.

Sat at the bar and had phenomenal service! Lauren or Lorraine (can't remember her name) is an excellent bartender! She was attentive, sweet and made awesome recommendations. I will definitely be back to work his awesome place!

First time eating here, ordered take out.
All three of us enjoyed the food, the only slight disappointment was the portion size of the polenta and scallops. The arancini was great!
We were very excited for this new Italian/Pizza place to open up across from Costco. We decided on stopping by before 5pm knowing they might be busy as the new spot in the area.
On coming in, the smells were wonderful and we were getting hungry.
The very young hostess barely looked up when we walked in. The bar was full, but there were several empty tables in the dining area. Eventually, she graced us with a greeting and we asked if a table for 2 could be accommodated. She didn't answer, just looked down at her screen and kept touching buttons without communicating anything to us.
Eventually, she said unless we had a reservation, it would be at least an hour before we could be seated. No options were offered, not outdoor seating, no taking our name to text us later - nothing. The empty tables were never explained.
OK, I understand this is a new place and probably going to be busy - that's not the reason for the bad review. It was the total lack of communication or any attempt to be helpful that was off-putting.
Staff should be better trained to make a more positive first impression. You only have one chance at that and as far as we're concerned, they blew it.

Kevin Johnson has been a mentor of mine in the culinary world since the early 2000's. I've always enjoyed going to his restaurants. My wife and I love The Grocery. When we heard he had a new restaurant in Mt Pleasant, we knew we needed to get in asap. Finally got a chance to go recently on my birthday and of course it didn't disappoint. Food was phenomenal. Service was great, and it was Kevin's son who took such great care of us. Highly recommend, and can't wait to go back!

The focaccia and fluffy cheese were excellent! However our pastas we ordered were just OK, the dessert was extremely salty, I couldn't even finish... Service was excellent and the restaurant itself is cute.
