  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
This Charleston locals’ favorite is nestled away in a historic home in downtown Charleston. The charming restaurant and intimate bar are reminiscent of a Mediterranean Villa, where Executive Chef, Josh Ogilvie, melds the cuisines of Italy, Spain, France, & Greece, featuring fresh preparations of Seafood, Fish, Savory Meats, Homemade Pastas, Homemade Bread, and Salads, all served by a warm and friendly serving staff. The extensive wine list complements the experience and offers 75 selections by the glass. The cozy bar empties out onto a terrace, offering outdoor dining and drinks. There are numerous menu items, which are gluten and dairy free and vegetarian, and there are vegan options as well.

    The restaurant was not easy to find but it's definitely a diamond in the rough. Once they opened at 5 pm sharp the staff was friendly and warm to welcome everyone in. The food was amazing and the wine selections are perfect. There is so much I could say about this place but it's better to just go and you will be amazed on how great this place really is.

    Best dining experience of our lives. We closed the menus and trusted the Head Waiter, Donnie. We ate things we would have never ordered and loved every one of them! This is a quaint little place - Brandon, Hunter and Donnie are forever intertwined in our lives. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will be eating here every time we get to Charleston. Cheers!

    Donny and his crew are SO fantastic!! We did a 'no menus' night and let the creative team make the magic - risotto, red snapper, veal, shrimp, ceviche - superb! Excellent espresso martinis and great wine pairing. The staff are wonderful and the food and service are superb! Thank you for a terrific evening!
