There's also a large outdoor area if you want to sit outside and enjoy the evening. The staff is fabulous, and I always love seeing Valerie when I go in -- she's the best.

It's perfect for popping in if you're solo, date night, girls' night, and if you're lucky, y'all can snag the big green couches in the middle room. And of course, you always have to go say hi to the bobcat when you're there. One of my favorite spots around -- highly recommend.

We enjoyed drinks, split a salad (pictured is the half portion since we shared it), and shared the salmon. Everything was absolutely delicious. The outdoor patio is spacious, relaxing, and beautiful.....such a great atmosphere. We sat at the bar and had the pleasure of meeting Steve. He was amazing! He was so charismatic, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. They are lucky to have him. I've already told my family I want La Chev gift cards for Christmas. I almost didn't want to leave a review because I selfishly wanted to keep this place to myself, but they deserve all the recognition. Hands down, this is officially my favorite restaurant in Summerville!

Those of you who aren't familiar with the band I suggest you give a listen to their album Midnight Marauders. The very next song played was equal in its mellow vibe, and thats exactly the atmosphere that Lost Isle has created. In fact, the team there mentioned that the playlist was carefully curated to create such a vibe. Upon entering the parking lot, a dirt and gravel parking lot, it doesn't look like much. Another one of the empty or almost empty buildings along Maybank highway. There is a handwritten sign that informs the guest to come around back from the left-hand side as the right hand side is an employee entrance. Once you get to the side of the building you start to have a slight idea of what's going on. A white wooden pergola-like structure with benches to wait for a space to open up, tall green plants line the walkway of bright white rocks. That quickly opens up to a large area full of tables and two bars. One is the drink bar, where they have a full selection of beer wine and spirits, as well as other non potent potables. 12 or so flat metal stools line the customer side of the bar. The other bar has less stools, maybe 5 or 6 but behind the bar is a wonderfully large outdoor grill that is used to grill their succulent fare. The remainder of the late space is filled with lots of tables most four tops with a few 2 tops scattered about. They are resting in several inches of white pea size gravel. An interesting fight fact is that the chairs have tennis balls on the bottom of the legs and it keeps the chairs from sinking too deep into the gravel. A small thing to be sure but a big thing when it comes to comfort! Whilst sitting at a table canopied by tall leafy trees, and kissed by the whisper of a breeze coming from one (or two) of the many strategically placed fans, you feel like you are in a quiet Caribbean island. It is a chill, relaxed vibe. While the atmosphere is smooth and mellow, the flavors coming off that grill are a bold contrast. But before we delve into the succulent delights let me first talk about the size of the menu, 4-6 appetizers (small plates), 4-6 entrees (Mains) and 4-5 shareable sides. No need to clutter up a menu nor one's thoughts perusing a phone book size menu. Small menus are the way to go; do a few things and do them well I say. Lost Isle does them well. The table ordered a few small plates of fire roasted olives with grilled bread and wood fired clams. Marinated black and green olives grilled had a great smoky, briny taste. Served with a few pieces of grilled bread and some confit garlic. Smearing the bread with some of that creamy garlic clove invoked the memories of a smoky garlic bread; a perfect complement to the olives! The wood fired clams were cooked with a chili-chorizo butter, garlic, and smoked bread crumbs. This was an explosion of flavor on the palate brightened by the juice of lemon, and was in a word, delightful. We then shared a Main of a grilled ribeye steak. Nothing on the earth was made to be cooked on open flame then a ribeye steak! Served to us at a perfect temperature (medium rare as there is no other acceptable temp) and a beautiful dark charred crust, it was a spectacle to behold. Rounding out the dish was a generous amount of Chimichurri and more of that beautiful confit garlic. One thing some people are in sorely in need of learning is that slicing a piece from a large hunk of beef and subsequently easting that slice with a sprinkle of salt seriously enhances the experience. This is why I was delighted by a tiny ramekin of sea salt. The steak was delicious. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the beverage program at the previously mentioned bar. A small but serviceable wine list is available for consumption. Average print on the bottle about $44 and no bottle more than $72. Certainly a bit under some of the more extravagant list on the other Charleston area restaurants. A great variety of cocktails fill the house cocktail lists one particularly caught the eye of the table, the Sheeney Neeney. They were also able to make classic cocktails as the vodka sodas also being consumed at the table. A few mostly local beers round out the cocktail menu. A few things that you will also need to know is that there is no real table service, you approach the bar and order your beverages, your card is entered into the system and then you tab is started. You then can order your food at other bar, given the moniker of The MC. Then you return to the table. As the dishes are completed someone will bring it to the table. We were delightfully surprised at the experience and not a negative word was uttered regarding any aspect of the meal or the experience. I recommend it for anyone looking for a few hours of repose and repast. Take it upon yourself to stop by, where one can be only minutes away from home and thousands of miles away at the same time.

Our experience was incredibly disappointing from start to finish…read more The X-Presso cocktail was absolutely disgusting. It was served warm, poorly presented, and honestly one of the worst cocktails I've had. We ordered three cocktails but only received two. The service at the bar was equally frustrating. We were largely ignored, and despite asking for our food, our order wasn't entered until a second bartender came over roughly 15-20 minutes later. We had also asked for additional bread to finish our ricotta appetizer before moving to our table, but it never arrived. To make matters worse, after we'd only been there for about 40 minutes, a friend who had just joined us went to the bar to order another round for our group. He had not been served any alcohol at all, yet he was told that none of us would be served another drink. We were completely caught off guard, especially considering how little we had actually been served. Between the poor service, forgotten food requests, missing drinks, and confusing decision to refuse further service, the entire experience was disappointing. Unfortunately, we can't recommend this restaurant and won't be returning.

Hollywood finally has a more upscale spot !! an elevated, authentic Italian restaurant that feels…read moreright at home here! The foodies may remember Pan E Vino from its downtown Charleston days, but owner Alfredo has brought his culinary magic to Hollywood, blessing locals with genuine Italian charm and flavor. The restaurant is housed in a beautifully repurposed old firehouse and if you look up you'll still spot the original firehouse doors on the ceiling. The space is warm and rustic with an open kitchen, dim lighting, and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. It's perfect for a romantic date night, a family dinner, or even a girls' night out. I made a reservation for our group of four as I always like to let a restaurant know I'm coming ! As of November 2025, reservations can be made easily through the restaurant's website or by phone (they're not on Resy or OpenTable ). I received confirmation by both text and email almost instantly, which made the process seamless. The staff here work incredibly hard. Our server was also handling hostess duties, but she was gracious, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly. For my meal, I went classic with the Spaghetti alla Bolognese which was rich, hearty, and full of flavor. I didn't leave a bite behind! I couldn't resist drizzling a little balsamic over it (because balsamic makes everything better), and it paired perfectly. I also sampled the Gnocchi alla Sorrentina, featuring soft, homemade potato dumplings baked with the same luscious Bolognese sauce and melted buffalo mozzarella. If you're torn between the spaghetti or gnocchi, you can't go wrong either way because the bolognese sauce is delicious so it just depends on your mood! To finish the night, Alfredo himself came by with a pour of his homemade limoncello , bright, smooth, and the perfect sweet ending. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Pro Tip: Tuesdays are pizza nights only (no full menu), and on weekends they offer both pizza and their full selection. It's worth calling ahead if you have your heart set on a particular dish. Pan E Vino is a little slice of Italy in the country and I am here for it ! Go check them out !
