Call spot for shareables/lite bites and drinks! Cocktails are hand crafted and no yucky syrups/mixers/additives.

Quahog

Attractive setting with rooftop seating and nice views over the Charleston skyline. Waitstaff was good and the menu was large enough and varied enough to satisfy the diverse nutritional limitations of our group. The only downsides were the overcooked fish and the overly spiced rice side. The charred Brussels sprouts were perfect and the truffle fries were spot on. Overall a pleasant experience. We give it four clams on the coveted Five Quahog Rating Scale.

Ok I really wanted to like this place and everyone was very nice and tried to keep fixing the issues but it was one thing after another. The view and setting was gorgeous! So fun to see the top of the city and the bridge!! Some things on the menu were delicious (The Watch Breakfast Plate, The Blueberry Pancakes) but others left a lot to be desired. Ordered the avocado toast and it was literally just lemon juice and avocado spread on toast but the menu said it included chives and chili pepper and lemon zest-we asked and the “toppings” were brought but still lacked flavor. One party member was missing food entirely (but they made it and she had it in 5-10 minutes). We wanted to order huevos rancheros but were told it was out for the day (fast forward 45 minutes and many people at other tables ordered and were served this dish throughout the restaurant). The sweet tea is flavored which I think was delicious (I think they brewed lady grey then sweetened and iced it but have no idea), however the refill tea was brewed in a coffee pot and was undrinkable - they did come and replace that as well. There was also someone cleaning the restrooms the entire first hour we were there. So in summary they were very nice about all the issues and worked to fix it but I wouldn’t go back until some kinks are worked out. Please know the tea is flavored (but good if not in coffee!) and a few items we enjoyed off the menu were the two egg breakfast and blueberry pancakes! The potatoes are a better side than the grits. Very good views and food pictures!! Be patient with everyone there because you may have to send items back or you may want to clarify that what is on the menu is what they’re currently still making in the kitchen. I really want to give 2.5/5 stars but rounded down because I don’t think I’ll go back unfortunately
