Jessica YoungMarch 7, 2017Praline French toast is amazing ! Split this and the Lowcountry Benedict with another and it was the perfect amount of savory and sweet!!! This is also the first tip I've ever left, it was THAT good!
Whit WalkerJune 3, 2018An achievement of southern cuisine. The shrimp & grits is a medley of beautiful flavors. The she crab cakes are so good - meaty, moist and light. Fried green tomato with pimento cheese is excellent.
Brian DAugust 14, 2016Beignets! Mimosas. And the Holy City Croque Madame is amazing. Service is very friendly. Atmosphere is great. Patio is fun and relaxing (plenty of fans to keep you cool)- Christina PivirottoJanuary 8, 2014The filet sandwich on a English muffin is simply amazingly awesome with a glass of wine looking forward to beignets for dessert especially my server Jean Marie is top notch come here you will love it!
Pedro OliveiraMay 26, 2014Brunch was delightful We got to use the special to get us an order of the beignets. I would just say stay on top of the host about your seat. We put our name down and he clearly had forgotten about us

Laurel LaFlammeFebruary 14, 2013Try the Harvest Salad; fresh baby greens, thin sliced apples, pecans, sprinkles of goat cheese, shaved fennel, & champagne vinaigrette perfection.

Trae FSeptember 20, 2015The brunch here is very good but expect to wait for a table. We told our server I had a flight to catch and he was very accommodating.
Andrew CroccoMarch 28, 2013Biscuits and gravy were delicious, had a half order to split for our breakfast and was not disappointed. Our server, Amanda, was great. Fast, attentive, and all smiles!
Blaire Shrader-BonacorsiJune 1, 2014Order the carafe of mimosas (rather than individual glasses - thanks Crystal!). Great breakfast food... Amazing fried green tomatoes.

Christina MorttiJanuary 22, 2012Gorgonzola fondue and osso bucco were both excellent. Very friendly staff and reasonably priced for what you get. For sure recommend!
Justin RauschkolbApril 6, 2015One of the best Bloody Mary's I've ever had in my life. PoBoy was good as well.

Wendy SulzerNovember 2, 2011What isn't good here? Lunch salads are big enough to share. Best crab cakes we had in Charleston!
Hattie SaundersAugust 26, 2012Service wasn't all too great... The food was delicious though... Sent a couple things back to the kitchen and needed to re-order the drinks... But over-all a good place for Sunday breakfast
Gen EricMarch 19, 2012Chef Brett McKee is working on a new spring menu - starts tomorrow evening. Join us at Eli's Table for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Kitty RodgersFebruary 15, 2012Fasting for 24 hours before coming here is recommended! You won't want to leave anything on your plate!
Shawn FSeptember 1, 2014Food was great, but the service was exceptional. Louis really made the experience special.
AbJune 20, 2015Great service & setting, but the food was mostly so-so. Could eat those beignets all day though!
Alejandro NeiraJanuary 20, 2014Vegetarian friend ordered oyster Benedict's and got fried chicken Benedict's instead and most of our food was cold. Not the worst experience, but Hominy grill or Toast would definitely be a way better
