"Stayed at the hotel and tried the Indian side and American bar/restaurant side and both side wow.Spent over a week staying at the hotel here and tried pretty much few items on the menu but thai curry takes the cake.Top choice of mine.Service is always spot on and the food is consistently great.If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and get the Thai curry!"

"I was fortunate enough to be at the Easter Brunch Buffet. And I also got to experience a weeks worth of food for the restaurant. The food is top notch. I would expect this quality of food to be associated with a Michelin Star Restaurant. I would recommend anything on the Menu. I was not a fan of the cole slaw, but I'm a traditionalist when it comes to that."

"Randomly stopped in here for a drink and a bite to eat based on a random Google search. I almost didn't go in when I realized it was in a hotel. I was just passing through. Glad I stayed. First off the staff was so friendly. Bar tender and server were both so upbeat. I had a burger based on her suggestion. It was really good. I'd definitely stop in again anytime im in the area."

"A local favorite for entertainment, drinks, and food. Outdoor tables that includes a fire place with surround seating. Inside or out it's a classy atmosphere with great staff and service. Food is good and any sandwich can be made as a lettuce wrap. Homemade potato chips are delicious. Definitely worth a visit!"

"The restaurant is part of a hotel. Kind of a fancy place. It was difficult to locate because it is on W Lincoln, on the Western edge of Charleston. Food was great. We ordered crab cakes and a Greek salad, really high quality ingredients. Great service. the only thing we didn't like it's that the place was empty when we arrived and the next group was sited right by our side when all the other tables were empty. The place has inside and outside dining. Be aware that additional fees are applied when using a credit card"
