Description: DOWNTOWN. Enjoy Lowcountry cuisine in a historic area. Menu offerings include award-winning she-crab soup laced with sherry, charcoal-grilled spicy oysters with sesame and soy sauce, a traditional Carolina bouillabaisse, New Orleans-style shrimp-and-chicken gumbo with andouille sausage and okra, and crab cakes with sweet pepper and basil rémoulade sauce. Still hungry? Well then the bourbon pecan pie is not to be missed. Outdoor dining is always pleasant here.

I am a local and used to bring out of town guest here quite often. The food quality has dropped dramatically over the past few years. The last time I had the She-Crab soup, I found two miniscule pieces of crabmeat in the bottom of my cup. Enjoy the ambiance, sit outside in the courtyard but don't expect the food to bowl you over.

I made a reservation 10 months in advance for dinner after my daughter's graduation from College of Charleston. I specifically asked for outside seating and did not get it depsite being the first one in the book for that date. There were multiple tables available as we were escorted through the couryard. Service was marginal. The food was pedestrian, The price was not. The she crab soup, a house speciality, was like wall paper paste including the lumps. Steaks were undercooked and waiter no where to be found. Crab cakes, though full of crab meat, should be eaten in Baltimore not here. I brought in a bottle of vintage champagne (1980 Dom Perignon) for the meal. The wine steward at least knew how to open the bottle properly. The restaruant was the lowest point of an otherwise festive and happy family event in Charleston. Can not recommend this restaurant for a memorable meal.
