Absolutely best Seabass I've ever had. The food is excellent albeit pricey but to be expected for New years eve dinner. The food was so good I'm still thinking about it days later.
We had a simply great meal. Nancy, our server, was very attentive and welcoming. Chicken vegetable soup was hearty and substantive. Our entrees were tasty, portions were appropriate for the evening meal. The pecan crusted halibut with white beans and kale was tasty as was the glazed salmon with sweet potato gnocchi and asparagus. We will be back!
My mother-in-law and I both had our first visit here this evening. We loved the food and the featuring of local places here (Charleston Bread and Ellen’s Ice Cream). We tried the meatball appetizer, chicken Alfredo, chicken parm, & apple crisp. We noticed room for improvements in the Ambiance and way the staff operated. Will go back for sure!
Went for father's day dinner. Food was exquisite and the service was exceptional.
We ate most of the food too fast to get any good pics. My wife said the salmon was the best she’s ever had in any restaurant. I really enjoyed the chicken parmesan and the meatball appetizer. All food was prepared well and served in a timely manner and although the wine list isn’t too extensive it offers a lot of good options.
Italian food. Tasty. Parking across the street or behind. Very knowledgeable waitress that were perfect in their service. We had lasagna (a little dry...ask for extra sauce. And, eggplant parmesan with fresh homemade pasta (spaghetti). Eggplant too thick. Spaghetti very good. 12/27/2023: I just found out that this restaurant changed hands approximately one year ago and that the menu has changed to include pasta, plus meat and fish dishes. Everything is made fresh, including the desserts, and the staff are all culinary trained. It's time to give it another try. Is this that local hidden gem that we've been seeking? We're going to try it and let you know! 12/30/23: We went to try this restaurant again since it changed hands a year ago. We got seated in "the last table available" first two. Funny, there were numerous tables that were available, and even more by the time we finished a nice dinner. Nancy waited our table. She provided goid, attentive service, and made good recommendations. We tried the brie appetizer, which was super delicious! We also tried the meatball appetizer. It was good. The bread with the seasoned oil was good and fresh. We doctored it because it wasn't anything but oil and grated cheese. It was good then. Entre's were the mushroom pasta. That was very good. The Missus had the crab cakes. They tasted and looked like they had salmon in them. She said they were just ok and ate only 3/4 of one. We brought the rest of the meal home to eat later...? There are many other dishes available and I'm sure they're good, according to other reviews. I would recommend that you try this restaurant yourself. It's good.
Amazing restaurant, very calm, quiet and staff weren’t available cute very professional. Decoration of the restaurant is very simple. And many tables were available. Food is extremely tasty (I would like to have a bigger portion) but it is fine and nice. I had Alfredo with Shrimp. Sea Bass, and many other meals (I will post them all)
5 stars! Did the valentines special. Food was exceptionally crafted, great service, and the desserts were killer. If only there was a different option instead of champagne would have been my only knock
