Their cocktails are always so well crafted, but I also enjoy a nice glass of red here too. Don't skip on the jelly shot - always a fun seasonal flavor! The bar tenders are always so friendly here and we enjoy watching them make the hand crafted cocktails. I love the cozy whisky bar atmosphere and love that they've been adding decorations for holidays too! Fall and Christmas are my two favorite times of year to visit.

First time was pretty…read morecrowded, so it took a little longer for orders, but the drinks were festive and fun, and the decor is very cheerful. Overall, I like the vibe it gives off - it's pretty chill. Most recent visit, we got there pretty early after work for happy hour, so there was plenty of space, it wasn't crowded yet, so we were able to order our drinks and get them pretty quickly. Staff is friendly, it's still festive and fun. I didn't try any food this time, but I think I had a simple app last time - it was a year ago though, so I honestly don't remember - my bad! But I definitely recommend it if you're looking for some holiday fun.

I stopped in here on a very busy weekend in downtown Charleston.

They were very helpful with my questions concerning my gluten allergy. They were able to confirm what was gluten free but it is also clearly marked on the menu. The food was fresh and amazing. The hummus is homemade. I had chicken Lula and it was really well seasoned and some of the best I've ever tasted. The only downside was the price. It was quite pricy for a lunch but with that being said, I would still return for more of their food. I just wish I could have tried more of it.

The absolute best falafels I have ever had in my life! I love falafel and have have them frequently…read morein restaurants ranging from fine to casual dining. What really separates these falafels is the robust range of spices and complex flavor into the traditional falafel, texture and flavors. The falafel appetizer platter came with four pieces and they were basically gone as soon as they arrived to the table as our entire family ate immediately. Including our pickiest eating family member, who enjoyed theirs too! Exceptional! The halloumi is fantastic and cooked perfectly. It had a nice seasoning on top of it which differentiated it from others I have had before. Everyone at our table enjoyed it. It came with four pieces. The grape leaves were a delight. They had a more robust complex flavor palette than Greek style grape leaves. They were served warm, however they were not dried out like sometimes grape leaves are when they're brought to a table warm. These were beautifully seasoned and had nice moisture to them. The size of each was about that of a ring finger. I can not remember hot many pieces were on the plate but it was more than 4. We ordered the chefs hummus with the pine nuts and pomegranate seeds. It was delicious and a great texture. Pretty much par for the course. My entrée was the Mujadra lentil and rice dish. The flavors were absolutely phenomenal. At first, I was thinking about getting the lentil soup for lunch, but then decided to try under the vegetarian section of the menu the lentil plate. The lentils and rice were placed in a circle mold on the plate. With pretty pieces of salad coming out from four different places. There were pine nuts, chopped, and placed a top of the rice and lentils. Everyone at the table tried my dish and even though we all four have very different favorite flavors and foods everyone agreed it tasted phenomenal and was absolutely delicious. Another family member ordered the lentil soup. They really enjoyed that and they also took some rice off of their spouse's plate and put it in the lentil soup which was a nice pairing. Spouse had the beef kebab cooked, medium rare. The temperature on the kebab for cooking was absolutely perfect! The texture pinkness, and overall cooking was beautifully done to a true medium rare. He had french fries as his side those were just as perfectly cooked as everything else that came out of the kitchen of this restaurant. They were nice and crisp with a good flavor. Three of our four family members tried and agreed they were very nicely done fries crispy all around and not floppy soft. Another family member ordered the Shish Tawook. They were completely in love and smitten with the garlic sauce that came with it. It is divine and tastes beautiful on the chicken. Rice was beautifully cooked as well. The accompaniments of lettuce, pita and oil was delicious. Dessert was baklava. Like every other part of the meal, we had it had a really nice blend of spices and flavor to it. We got it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. All of the desserts on the menu are made in house. One of our family members doesn't tend to like homemade ice cream however she liked this ice cream because she thought the texture was really brilliant for it being made in house at a restaurant. The baklava comes with three pieces. I would love for them to open a restaurant near where we live. If we lived here we would come in 2-3 times a week. Near the end of our meal, we heard some of the restaurant team speaking with another table of regulars. We overheard that they were short staffed that day as someone had called in. We never absolutely would not have guessed that. They seamlessly checked on our table, brought everything out in a timely manner, and none of the plates were hot like they had been sitting at expo waiting to come out to the table for a while. It was wonderful hospitality, with great care and checking in. Our server was a sweet and attentive person. Simply removing plates as we finished and refilling drinks. No one at our table was in want or need of anything as he kept it all well filled. I think the biggest compliment I can give is one family member always has room for dessert. They loved their meal in the appetizer so much they could not have any dessert. Which coming from them a huge dessert person is quite the praise.

Luckily, we were able to sit inside when we visited, because it was raining outside. The food was made fresh, to order, and was delicious! They do have some vegan options, and all their food is healthy and non-processed. They were very accommodating, ready to make substitutions for special diets. I picked out a vegan premade bowl from their refrigerator section, and the server warmed it up and prepared it to be served as an in-person meal, which was really nice. The other two people in my party ordered a sandwich, which is pictured below. They have some coffee drinks available, a decent sized menu, and a good variety of other items in a refrigerated section, primarily for takeout. They've partnered with a vegan dessert vendor, and those were delicious as well! One drawback is that they only have a certain amount of food prepared for the day, so when things are sold out, that's it. It is a little bit pricey, but they are using high-quality ingredients. So, it's not something I would do every day, but it certainly is a special treat.
