    The food was amazing. We were seated quickly but waited a bit before our server came to the table. I would say the service was average. Not great. Not bad. She was very nice. The reason I am giving this value a 1 is because of the unreal "kitchen service fee" that this establishment charges. It is a glorified credit card fee that is being labeled as a kitchen service fee that can't be waived if you pay cash. I have never been charged a seperate fee that goes to the back of the house staff who make a normal wage. I am all about tips for the servers as they only get $2.13/hour. The back of the house makes a full wage. Why do they need to get a tip?

    Fun and beautiful space with attentive service. Great, long bar and plenty of space for larger parties.

    It was my daughter’s 16th birthday and we were hoping for a special dinner out. Unfortunately we felt forgotten by our server. The food was underwhelming and overpriced for what it was. My meal had hunks of *raw* garlic in the pasta. The good news is the building itself is pretty cool. With so many great dinning options in CHS, simply choose somewhere else. Save this spot to grab a drink at the bar.

    Would not recommend anymore.. been here many times in the past. Go elsewhere that appreciates the business, and its patrons. Came all the way from Columbia, SC to eat here with my girl for brunch. Got here and seated.. even order my Bloody Mary that is included in the Holy Sh*t breakfast, just to find out they WILL NOT do the Holy Sh*t breakfast for one person. On menu it has no minimum, just says $35 per person. The bartender asked the chef it they would and he refused to do it. I at least wanted my girl to try the donut that was supposed to come with my breakfast and the bartender I can that. He comes back and said “strike two” so the chef refused again. So this was very disappointing experience.

    They did a great job accommodating a large party for my wife's birthday even though it wasn't normally what they do. Everything was done really well and I would go back for sure.

    Loved the atmosphere of the place. The service was amazing. Only negative is large menus don’t work well with open flame candles. Could be a hazard.
