- MMichaelVirginia •10 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe came to Charleston for a quick 3-day vacation and was able to get an early bird reservation a 5:00 for a 3-course meal that has a few options each stage. The food and our waiter Brian are both fantastic! The chef prepares a wonderful grill cheese that is next level and the Horchata Praline and Pineapple upside-down soufflé are light and a superb way to finish off a great meal. Glad we went and will plan ahead for our next visit to reserve a table a little later in the evening.More infoCirca 1886$$$$• Southern• Harleston Village•4.8
