Slightly North of Broad is a Southern restaurant in the French Quarter neighborhood of Charleston.
“Our waiter, Paul, was very knowledgeable on every food item, and how he could cater each dish to our dietary restrictions. The flavor profiles of each plate were incredible. Our favorite appetizer was the whipped ricotta and local honey. Our entrees were cooked to perfection, and again, the flavors complemented each other so well. Paul surprised us with a silky, rich chocolate mousse that we thoroughly enjoyed. Now on to try the rest of the Hall Family’s restaurants in downtown Charleston!”
“An absolutely spectacular dining event. Our server, Ryan was wonderful great suggestions pleasant really enjoyed him. We started off with a cream crab soup was absolutely delicious and then I had barbecue tuna which sounds funny, but it is delicious. My wife had a flounder that was some of the best I’ve ever had. And then we had a dessert that was an apple pie that I don’t know. It was not anything like I’ve ever had before absolutely wonderful. I recommend dining here to everybody and we’ll probably be back soon.”
“fun to come back here after 1.5 years. server Ryan was an affable, charming, down-to-earth, relatable guy. we really enjoyed the time we had to talk with him in such a busy space! the meal didn’t fall short whatsoever, but the shrimp n grits dish was way better (portions, spice, and plating/presentation) previous visit. arugula caesar was good but damn salty! and duck breast was cooked well and generous portion of brussels (glad we didn’t order a side of them). if you call them crispy brussels, i’m of a firm belief that not only should they be crispy but doesn’t that mean roasted then fried? just a thought—not a takedown. they’ll be fine regardless of what i write about the dishes. just seems like they rushed things and aren’t putting as much care and concern into their dishes with respect to plating and presentation, portions and salt/spice levels. (final two photos were from July 2024 and show the shrimp and grits and halibut entrees to indicate differences in plating and portions…..)”
“This spectacular place in downtown Charleston is a must if you’re the area. A bit pricy but they validate it with a delicious options for various southern delicacies. I had the duck breast which was juicy and tender to the last bite. I was part of a large group of family members. The service was terrific (thank you, Anna). There were drink options to suite every taste from craft beers, to wine, to espresso martinis. My only regret is not having enough room for desert.”
“Lunch outside on a beautiful December day. Wonderful service from Emily and her colleagues. A nice outside table on a sunny day enhanced with side heaters. We'd heard great things but I would rate the food as mixed in quality and taste. Two of us enjoyed the price fixed $35 lunch. The Shrimp and Grits entree was almost cold. The broth was lukewarm. A couple of shrimp were actually cool. The swordfish club was nice but it didn't knock our socks off. The best entree: a mix of vegetables for a vegetarian companion. Wow. A nice mix, including grilled okra w tomato jam. Our starters of butternut bisque and a salad were good. Dessert was very good. Chocolate pot de crème. The fried oysters were nicely prepared but rather small.”
