Azalea Bar is an absolute gem in downtown Summerville. First of all, it is gorgeous inside. I love…read morethat all three rooms have completely different vibes, so every visit feels a little unique. 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. Cocktails are consistently amazing and always so yummy, and the food never disappoints. 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 really enjoyed our time here. This bar strikes a great balance between upscale and cozy--it…read morefeels elevated, but not in a way that requires getting dressed up just to enjoy a good cocktail. The drinks are priced on the higher end, but the relaxed, comfortable atmosphere makes it feel approachable. We also love that they offer seasonal and holiday cocktails, which is right up our alley. We brought Luna along and sat on the patio, which was a nice option. I would love to see heaters added outside to make the patio more comfortable on cooler nights. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive throughout our visit. I ordered the Fireside Chat (served warm), made with Four Roses Bourbon, Croft Tawny Port, apple cider, orange juice, grenadine, turbinado sugar, allspice, and clove ($15). I really enjoyed the flavor profile--warm, well-balanced, and perfect for the season. That said, I was a little disappointed that my second drink wasn't garnished nearly as nicely as the first, especially given the price. Flavor-wise, though, both were very good. My husband started with the Gingersnap, which includes Monkey Shoulder blended Scotch whisky, Disaronno almond liqueur, butterscotch liqueur, spiced ginger syrup, heavy cream, Angostura bitters, cookie rim, and nutmeg ($16). He enjoyed it but felt it was definitely a one-drink cocktail due to how sweet, creamy, and heavy it was. He also ordered the Smoked Maple-Bacon Old Fashioned with bacon fat-washed bourbon, spiced maple syrup, tobacco bitters, and a salted brown sugar rim ($16). This one was a miss for him--too sweet, with the maple and smoke overpowering the drink, and not much bacon flavor coming through. That said, the presentation was excellent; watching the smoke being lit was a highlight, and I even grabbed a video of it. Our total came to about $71 before tip, and we didn't order any food, so it's definitely on the pricier side. Still, for the ambiance, creative cocktails, and overall experience, I think it's worth it--especially for a relaxed night out with a more elevated feel.

decided to try the ice house again after 2 years.....hated the food…read morethis is my last time here and will not be back ordered the shrimp dinner $24 with the size of shrimp that comes in Chinese food. the collards were spicy ( i was told they are not ) and the mash potatoes were SOOOOO buttery that i sent them back and refused to eat that amount of butter ..Bright yellow and slimy. the burger plate was supposed to be medium and came to the table cooked WELL. I will say the she crab soup was excellant... but we came for dinner and that was way far below standards considering the check came to $103.96 the soft shell crab for $29 only consisted of one and it was fried so so. we actually wanted it sauteed not fried.. and the check had a Hospitality charge besides the tax which together came to 13%......funny Matts burger 1 block away only charges sales tax...don't like being scammed bottom line..you would think eating the for second time would be better and not worse...think i just skip this HIGH PRICE BAR FOOD

The burratta was incredible and bruschetta porchetta was a perfect choice for someone willing to try something different.

Andrew was our waiter and he was phenomenal. Very attentive and recommended plates he'd think we would like. The chicken parm was amazing and the marinara sauce was something a nonna would make. Classic, authentic, Italian. We ended the night with espresso martinis, crème brulé and the classic tiramisu. As someone who dines in NY and NJ often, this was a taste from home and we will definitely be visiting again in the future.

Parking was tough--we had to park down the street because it was so crowded--but it was worth it. The rest of the menu looked tempting, everything is à la carte, and prices felt appropriate for a nice evening out. The food tasted very authentic Italian. We'll definitely be back!

I have difficulty with steps but there were enough railings to make it navigable for me. The building was likely to have at one time been a small house. There were six of us in our party and we were initially told we would be sharing one bill and the gratuity would be automatically added. A couple of our folks expressed concern and intentionally ordered cheaper items and no drinks to make sure they had adequate funds to split the bill. Fortunately our waitress, who was a joy, did individual bills and did not put on an automatic gratuity. The policy had the potential to seriously reduce the restaurant's income. They should probably rethink this stance. As noted, our waitress was terrific and rapidly got drink and food orders sorted. The menu is pretty short, but probably a good choice for a small pub type restaurant. My wife and I both selected an on-tap local brew, both of which were good and reasonably priced. We both also selected the fish and chips. The order came with a side of cole slaw that was pleasant. The chips were obviously made on site and both properly cooked and well seasoned. We are always surprised at restaurants that serve obviously bagged and frozen fries. The fish itself was reasonably sized and nicely fried. Quite tasty, but we sort of expected good seafood as this is a sister restaurant to a local seafood establishment. For the price the portion sizes of all the meals at the table seemed just a bit small. So we will quite likely return. It's not fancy. It's not high end dining. It's a tad pricey for pub food, but overall pretty good. I note here that had our waitress not been a gem or had they enforced the one check policy, this review would have been a good deal more negative. I suspect they have an accessible entrance but it was not obvious. That may be a consideration for some and checking ahead of time would be prudent.

She asked for it to be plain, and it came out all the way. We asked for the item to be taken off of our bill, since it came out wrong, and it wasn't communicated that it would be safe, and the owner refused, did not apologize, and was very arrogant about it. Definitely not the waitress's fault. The owner's attitude was unacceptable. There was also a bug at our table that landed on both of us. To be clear, the attitude of the owner is the reason we will not be back.
