First time dining here, and I couldn't imagine us ever coming back. Really disappointed. The reviews were so good, we thought this was going to be great. We were in visiting on a work trip and we were looking for some great food.
First off, the venue space is nice. I really liked the atmosphere and vibe. Unfortunately, things kind of didn't start well and they just went downhill from there.
We were looking at the higher dollar menu items like the seabass and scallops. They had a scallops special that caught our attention but the chef wouldn't budge on the menu sides. We were looking for something lower carb. What I wanted was the scallop dinner with the special miso sauce, but instead of the sweet potato hash, I wanted veggies. But the server said the chef said no. Based on that, we both ended up ordering a hamburger. It wasn't what we wanted but we felt it was the safest option based on the quality of the appetizer.
You see, we had ordered some calamari and it was so bad we had to send it back. It was nothing but hard crunchy batter. There was very little calamari actually in the pieces. You couldn't even pierce it with your fork. It was horrible. Based on the quality and flavor of the calamari, we decided to not take the risk on sea bass or scallops.
The burgers came out and they were ok. Nothing special. I've read through some of the other reviews about the complaints of how salty the food is, and I can confirm the food we had was way over salted.
Now for the service. This was a really awkward and uncomfortable night. The server was trying but he honestly didn't fit the price point of the menu. Each interaction was more awkward than the next. The things he would say and the way he communicated, made us so confused and uncomfortable. He was a nice guy, he just probably isn't a good fit as a server.
We've had good meals in Charleston before, tonight wasn't one of them. The martinis we had were good, but we walked out of there only spending $70, while we had a budget of $125 each to spend. This restaurant lost out on $180 worth of business all because they didn't want to budge on the scallops dish. Do the math, this wasn't a smart business decision.

Everything tasted amazing! We had the fried green Napoleon, wedge salad, Cajun shrimp Alfredo (special), grilled chicken sandwich, and creme brulee. The flavors were on point and the portions were above average. Our server(Brianna) was prompt and courteous and very knowledgeable about the menu. I couldn't have asked for a better date night.

One of the best meals we've had in Charleston. There are so many delicious sounding things on the menu! We couldn't decide between two appetizers, so we got them both; Stuffed Portobello and Seared Tuna and both were superb! We were nearly full after that so we opted for soup and salad. The Lobster Bisque is terrific. I also couldn't say no to the crem brulee and it was the perfect ending to an amazing meal. We're already making plans to go back. Service was top-notch, excellent beer and cocktail selection, and nice atmosphere. You'll love it.
Great food, loved the lobster ravioli and bacon wrapped shrimp. Excellent staff, really enjoyable meal.

Chris was 10/10. Amazing and attentive service. Bar drinks were flavorful and made with quality. Will definitely be back again.
Tom
Given the pricing, I was expecting a high end steak house. It is anything but that. An example, my silverware was in a cheap paper napkin. Food was ok, but not great. Pricing was high. I would not recommend going there.

Steak was a little dry and under seasoned. The kids macaroni was the best thing we ate. The server was good and everything was alright until we went to the bathroom….roaches, dead, but still roaches. Didn’t stay for dessert
