Just about everything is solid. Their longevity in the Charleston food scene is evidence of that. The She Crab soup is incredible as is the generous portion and tastiness of the jambalaya .

Jason Brady

Food was superb. She crab soup was a good starter. Wife had the pork chop which looked great. Salmon was delicious. Limoncello mascarpone was the most amazing dessert ever. Tyler was awesome.

The she crab soup is not to be missed (get a bowl and share it) and order the jambalaya ! Make sure you sit outside, it's beautiful and inside is musty.

We ordered shecrab soup , the jambalaya and the crab cake Benedict and it was 10/10! And this had to be one of the cutest restaurants I’ve ever been to!

We had heard good things but truthfully the food didn't compare to a lot of other local gems. Their she crab soup was the worst I had in Charleston. Biscuits were good.

Dee O'Neill

The shrimp and grits are the best I've had yet. Even during crazy restaurant week, the servers are very kind.
