We came in for desserts and after dinner drinks after dining at another restaurant in Charleston. Being highly recommended, we expected exemplory service and the wonderful food and desserts that we had heard so much about. Working in the industry, we know what to look for and expect only the best. We arrived at the bar and ordered some dessert and high priced champagne. Upon dining at the bar, we DID NOT expect to hear about the bartenders previous night of drinking and partying. We could tell before we heard her story that she had been on an all night bender...dropping glasses, snipping like she had done illegal substances the night before, with unkept hair and a sloppy apparance. Needless to say, we couldn't relax as she whirled around the tiny bar and made our dining experience uncomforable. A 4-star restaurant should be an atmosphere of relaxation as you should be able to enjoy your $50 dollar desserts without feeling rushed or uneasy. Unfortunately the bartender ruined the whole image of the restaurant for us. After all, that is the first impression you get when you first walk through the door...
Pros: Coconut cake
