Fantastic experience. Our server, Shea, provided us with amazing service. Her timing was on point, and she made the dining experience memorable. The food was fresh and delicious! Will be back!

Third time having dinner here and each time has been a culinary delight. Their soups alone are a destination dish illustrated by the fact that you can order a flight of them or make a meal out of a bowl as my partner loves to do. Her love is the potato brocolli cheddar which is both vegetarian and gluten free. On my flight, I tried the potato brocolli cheddar, the tomato tarragon crab, and the Mexican chicken chili. They are all fantastic. I personally have settled on the tomato crab as my goto. The flavors and textures are great and it's not something that I can make at home or get anywhere else. The restaurant itself is smallish and intimate right inside. We've been there when it's packed and when it's quiet. We've always been able to hold a conversation comfortably even at its loudest. On Saturday my soup arrived with my entree, coffee & rosemary grilled pork tenderloin, maple smashed sweet potatoes, braised kale with blackberry molasses. We also ordered the gluten free cornbread with blackberry molasses. I don't typically overeat at restaurants but I had to try all of this. For cocktails we had the blueberry lemondrop and the blackberry bourban cooler. The cast iron baked cornbread was ample and had a great combination of moist and dry that made it perfect to break off for bites of soup, the perfectly sauteed kale, and the smooth sweet potatoes. I think what impresses me most about the menu is the way the chef offers sweet and savory flavor combinations that allow you to build a meal that allows a person to eat and sip around the plate. Everything on the menu seems to be good and offers those who are gluten-free vegetarians and omnivores opportunities for a night out that can't be found anywhere else in the greater Charleston area.

Ate there on a Sunday. Food and service was great. The place had ample parking and was open during construction. Lot of vegetarian options. It was really busy and a bit loud. We ordered spinach salad, breakfast enchilada, portobello goat cheese burger. Everything tasted delicious. Food came out fast and our server was super nice.

The food was fresh and tasty, the bar was beautiful, and the service was great! Definitely worth the trip over the bridge to get there!
