Ate Sunday dinner here after reading reviews and making reservations. Very attentive wait staff but not overly so. Slowed down our order when asked so that we could enjoy cocktails. Not inexpensive so we wanted time to enjoy but realize others in more of a rush, as we witnessed.

Nestled in the architectural charm of a vaulted former bank, you immediately know you’ve stepped into an experience you won’t soon forget. The entire team from start to finish buzzed enthusiasm and efficiency, but for us the master of ceremonies was an incredibly skilled raw bar master, Alejandro. Sitting at the raw bar was a prime seat for his Artistry and passion for the menu. Thanks for a another great Charleston experience.
