Despite advertising local seafood the shrimp seemed frozen and not cleaned well - very gritty. The scallops were tiny and not worth the $4 extra. I ordered a margarita that was awful and no salt on the rim. Definitely will not be returning and could get better at Cracker Barrel.

We started with some raw oysters, the cajun broiled oysters and a basket or two of hush puppies. All of which were so good, I wasn't able to get a picture before we ate it all. The cajun broiled oysters were my favorite!! Then, our server took our entree orders with a smile and made sure to keep our drinks filled as we waited. I ordered the Redfish Special and it was a very big portion. I barely finished my meal and my friend who ordered the same thing ended up taking half of it home. I was expecting the lemon cream sauce to be on top of the fish but I believe it was mixed into the lump crab. It was so delicious, I could have been satisfied with just the fresh lump crab.

The place captures old Southern charm with a modern artistic twist, featuring colorful paintings, minerals, and artwork. However, the music that evening didn't really match the Southern motif or aesthetics. Our waitress was courteous and helpful, answering our questions. Despite the restaurant being mostly empty, it took a while to get our order, partly because the waitress was alone, and the manager--who barely acknowledged us and was mostly on her phone--was present. When the food finally arrived, the portions were generous. I had fried fish, though I couldn't tell if it was catfish. It came with French fries, a hush puppy tasting like fried dough, coleslaw that seemed to have sat out too long and was small in portion, and fried okra with little seasoning, tasting more of flour than cornmeal breading. This was disappointing, though it might reflect "Low Country" cooking. Overall, the restaurant seemed to emphasize branding and decor over authentic history. The best South Carolina cuisine I found was near Saint Helena Island, close to some historic sites, where the food was noticeably better and the vibe felt genuine, especially in spots rich with landmarks.

This location is very well placed and enjoyed by Bluffton locals. The food presentation is Pleasing to the eye and everything on the menu is Wonderfully delicious!! We enjoy the Sunday Brunch for sure! Jessica F took good care of us today however the entire Staff is very friendly regardless of the time or day of the week. They have done a great job to make their patio comfortable and safe as possible from the virus. I feel very safe eating inside or outside at this Great Restaurant! So far.... they have made only one mistake and that was to take away the mint machine at the exit door. They spoiled patrons with it for years and then it vanished because of Covid? Not so sure... Regardless, that was unique and a great Tasty touch as you left the building!..... not sure why they can't put it back and if anyone is worried about safety then let a staff person issue them out in a napkin and wish patrons a good day at the same time. Just a missed opportunity in my opinion read more

Hi Everyone, Maybe,…read morelike me you missed it, but Kyra Restaurant Seafood and Grill in the Riverwalk Shopping Center in Ridgeland, SC off RT 170 (but it looks like Okatie to me, lol) is here, and it offering good fare. FYI: Kyra or Kayra, and Kaira is named for the God who planted the tree of life Ulukayin, in Turkic Mythology, or a new born's name. Their Specials listed on a black board as you enter their restaurant are only offered from 4:00 to 5:30 PM as when we inquired about them at 6:30 PM they were not. The owner is Turkish, hence the name I am guessing, and he likes him some Hungarian peppers as they featured on multiple dishes like their Mediterranean Seafood Grouper which has a savory but not hot, but was instead, spicy with a delectable flavor which my ravishing dinner companion let me try. However, I was only offered and ate a very little piece, which was a fantastic flavorful taste experience. I guess, even with our fifty year history together and almost all of it married, I guess, I just don't rate, as she ate, her entire plate, which she really enjoyed. You know how it is when you ordered their good, but less tasty entree, and you're offered a taste of one of their taste tintilating hits, and then your hoping she's not that hungry, right? Oh, I know, not you! Lol We started with their scallops and pasta appetiser which was good but only had two scallops on it with a small amount of pasta which in our opinion, was perfectly executed, but taste wise, was nothing special. Our friends who accompanied us had fried calamari as their appetiser, and upon our return, I will order this as an appetizer as it was perfectly cooked and their marina with was a very tasty match. And yet again, I was only offered a small piece, dagnabit. I took the road less traveled for me and tried their Shrimp and clams spaghetti which was well prepared with shrimp and clams being again, perfectly cooked, but this entrees' taste was surprisingly, just Ok. My portion was on smaller plate than most dinning establishments in our area, so this dish in particular, would not draw me back to Kyra on its own merits. We finished with their Ricotta Cheese Cake which was one of the best deserts I have ever eaten anywhere, and one we highly recommend because it is neither commonly available in our area but is so...so...velvety delicious! Our Server was outstanding, knowledgeable on all their offerings, while smiling with a great personable style. They take a team approach to their service here, employing different team members to serve your orders hot, which I really felt was very efficient and more old world in the best way, reminding me of some of the stellar restaurants we have frequented in different cities like Hartford, Connecticut's North End, Baltimore's Italian section, or St. Louis's "The Hill" with their toasted lobster ravioli, and in which, this style of service was perfected, which we all enjoyed very much. In our over twenty year past, here in our beloved Low Country, we have visited this restaurant building under its different iterations for breakfast, and lunch. So it was a great feeling to rediscover this nicely renovated pleasant ambiance in this building now known as Kyra, as we always enjoy a new to us, restaurant whose fare we are trying for the first time. We feel Kyra Restaurant Seafood and Grill is worth your investing your time, and money to dine and discover good food, great service, and which dish you feel is your personal "Hey, this tastes great, plate". Why? Because we feel, you will be so glad, you did. Enjoy!

I'd tried to get in here twice in the last month, so I recommend making reservations--you'll get turned away at the door for sure, and folks were queued up before the 5pm dinner opening. The interior is welcoming and there's ample space between some oversized high tops and traditional tables. Our server, Kylie, was an absolute peach. She was so friendly and sweet, and she really catered to our needs. There were 4-5 additional specials recited once we sat down. I do wish if servers are going to read specials, they should also include the prices. Since the entire menu was moderately priced (when you consider the area), I didn't think the veal ossobuco would be a $50 entree, but it was my fault for not asking outright. Delicious for sure, but if I were pinching pennies, I may have opted for several other dishes. But truthfully, I found my selections to be excellent. The bread service is unusual but awesome! Warm crusty Scali bread and all diners get their own individual saucers of dipping oil. My post-Covid self thinks this is the best idea ever and every restaurant should do this!! Everyone enjoyed their appetizer & entree choices, though my sister felt the chicken Marsala needed more Marsala flavor. The Caesar was outstanding and the wedding soup flavorful. The ossobuco was melt-in-your mouth tender. I loved the bone marrow garnish as well. My Bananas Foster cake was as if banana bread, caramel cake & pecan pie had a baby. I tasted the Tres Leche cake but it was a little underwhelming for me. I was surprised there was only one traditional Italian dessert (limoncello cake) offered among 3 types of cheesecakes and some chocolate options. No tiramisu, cannoli or spumoni here. But again, the food is delicious and I understand why you seriously need to make a reservation if you want to get in here. My first time but not my last!

The interior decor is chic, modern, clean, and illuminated beautifully; there are tiny black LED lamps on the tables which highlight the food without blinding the guests. Our server, Michelle, was friendly, welcoming, and attentive; she kept the water-glasses filled and the courses served. The restaurant features an open-air kitchen with a wrap-around bar; I was introduced to the chef and was able to speak with him in my (limited) Italian. It was truly wonderful to hear and feel his enthusiasm for excellent, northern Italian cooking! The menu is very small...and that is a good thing. By focussing on only a few dishes, the chef and his team are able to provide an unforgettable culinary experience. The highlight of our dinner was the halibut collar which, if you've never enjoyed, I highly recommend. OH. MY. GOD. Although I have enjoyed many fish courses in my life, this is, was, and remains one of those special meals which I shall remember for a very long time. It was truly exceptional: rhythmic with flavour and firm with texture, sauced gently but appropriately and (absolutely) served piping hot on the plate. I must confess I do not recall the other dishes but they were all very good. I believe there was a squid hors-d'oeuvre which I enjoyed, and a very special 'Black Leather' cocktail (?). I cannot remember a better meal than this, not in a very long time. I absolutely and unequivocally recommend Radici for anyone wishing for modern, beautifully cooked, and served northern Italian cuisine. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I took my family here for Christmas Eve dinner with the intention of doing the tasting menu. We reserved seats at the bar that runs the length of the restaurant, and were seated promptly. Service was very friendly, and we had a great view of the open concept kitchen. Throughout the meal the chef and waitstaff would chat with us and explain what all was on our plates. We started with cocktails. I ordered The Radici, which had mezcal and beet juice, certainly not a common combination in my experience. They have an aperol spritz equivalent that my mother and girlfriend raved over as quite refreshing. The meal started with an oyster as an amuse bouche, a great local touch given the popularity of oysters in the area. Stuck with seafood for the first course, with halibut flan being something I'm still a bit confused by as a concept, though that did not stop me from enjoying it. The second course continued to be innovative relative to what is usually found in the area, with ravioli stuffed with broth and filling on the outside. Third course was lamb, and was well done. Finally dessert was a roasted panettone for Christmas Eve that was very tasty with chocolate cream. One small improvement would be the option to pair the tasting menu with wine selections, but we were able to get along fairly well with some help from the waiter ordering a couple of bottles of wine. Overall a welcome addition to the area that I could easily see myself returning to when in town.
