    Filet au poive

    Filet au poive. We also had the salmon with Parmesan risotto, lamb lollipops, crab bisque, and creme brûlée. 10/10 for every plate. The huckleberry mojito was incredible as well. Great service. Environment was relaxed and romantic. Best experience I've had in a while.

    A Six‑Star Experience at Eli's Table The Hungry Detective and Special Agent Deirdre had an unforgettable evening at Eli's Table this past Friday, and the only fitting way to begin is with one word: WOW. If six stars were possible, this restaurant would earn every one of them. For anyone visiting the Gibbes Museum of Art, this spot--conveniently located right next door--is an absolute must. Atmosphere Eli's Table offers a stylish, inviting vibe with a fantastic bar area. This was my second visit, and while I haven't yet sat at a dining‑room table, the bar is exceptional--comfortable, energetic, and perfect for people‑watching through the large street‑facing windows. Service & Staff From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was outstanding. * Mallory greeted us with a warm smile and set the tone for the evening. * Tyler, the bartender, is a true mixologist--his vodka martini with three olives was perfection, and his recommendation of a Tuscan blend paired beautifully with our meal. * Christian, originally from Long Beach Island, NJ, brought great energy and even better stories. * Davida, hailing from Sicily and speaking flawless English, shared wonderful insights from his travels. * Louis, a tennis pro by day, delivered five‑star service all night. This team is polished, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Cuisine The food was exceptional from start to finish. * We began with beef carpaccio and warm bread--both outstanding. * The lamb special, prepared by Executive Chef Michael Reilly, was cooked to a perfect warm pink center and served over hand‑mashed potatoes with fresh‑cut carrots. * We're already planning a return visit to try the duck, which came highly recommended. Desserts Dessert was a showstopper. * The pineapple bread pudding with gelato was so good the plate was practically polished clean. * Mallory also treated us to the beignets, which didn't survive long enough to make it home. Verdict Eli's Table is guilty as charged--guilty of delivering an extraordinary dining experience. We can't wait to return, especially for that duck. Bonus Recommendation Make an evening of it: explore Rodin's "The Gates of Hell" at the Gibbes Museum, then walk next door for one of Charleston's most memorable meals. Charleston's best‑kept secret--highly recommended.

    Overall this place was decent but probably won't come again. The service was the best part, they're very attentive. The food was good but definitely pricier for other similar types of restaurants.

    I came in for a date night and we were promptly seated for our reservation by someone who I believe is the manager (Mallory?) and she was absolutely amazing throughout the entire night. The food was delicious but service was the slowest I've ever had so it greatly affected our first experience here. I'm not sure if this was because of restaurant week but service at other restaurants I've visited during RW has always been great. To start, we were sat down and nobody came to our table for 15 minutes, not even to bring water, so I spoke to the hostess to let her know. Our waiter finally came and she was sweet but not attentive at all through our dinner. We were there for 2.5 hours, waiting a good while in between courses. Others around us were also getting irritated - another couple left after having been seated for a while and I believe changed their minds after talking to a couple beside them who definitely looked annoyed by the long wait times. A few tables even asked to have the remainder of their upcoming courses packed to go because of this. We were given complimentary champagne and mussels for the initial wait after being seated but service sadly fell short from there. Like I initially said, Mallory was amazing and the food was delicious but the overall service experience needs some work.

    The food was wonderful. Very creative concepts. Chef Michael is very talented and Eli's Table is a wonderful addition to the Charleston Dining experience. The jazz music playing in the background and the way they made every guest feel like they were the only one was very nice. The beignets were amazing!!!

    OMG.... What an incredible breakfast place! We were lucky to find this restaurant so we made this our morning breakfast spot during our visit to Charleston. We were greeted and shown to a great table in front of a window. Jess B, server, had greeted the three of us. Jess, very personable, had went over the menu. I had ordered the Two Eggs Your Way and my friends had ordered the Crab & Egg. While were waiting, Jess, would cover and chat with us. Within a few minutes, our meals were delivered. All of our meals were good size portions and seasoned just right. With my meal, I had a homemade biscuit with an incredible jam that we couldn't get enough of. Jess was so nice and gave us a complimentary order of Beignets with the same jam. The Beignets were out of this world. The dining area is well lite and inviting. I would highly recommend this restaurant for the food and service!! Thanks again, Jess for the incredible service.

    We were drawn to Eli's Table as there was live jazz on Friday and Saturdays. However, it was a gentlemen playing the keyboard. No singing, only live music. It was still very nice. The service was very friendly, our server Raymond was welcoming and made out night! We stopped by after dinner for a night cap and live music. We ordered the southern Gentlemen drink (which was made with Bourbon) a, a fruity non alcoholic drink and beignets, which is a speciality of this spot. Wow the beignets were delicious! I'm still craving it today! Overall, the service was too, Raymond was the nicest! The music was relaxing and the beignets made my night!

    What are the vegan options?

    They have quite a few side dishes that are vegan acceptable, but the only dish they have on the menu I know of that is vegan is their vegan risotto.

    Do they have a happy hour, if so what is on the menu?

    Happy hour is 4pm-6pm. During happy hour, they offer a three course meal (appetizer, main course, and dessert) all for $30!

Don't let the name deter you if you are not a gin person because they have many options with different types of liquors. One tip: sit at the bar if you can, the set up is stunning especially for taking photos! The cocktail menu was moderately extensive with two full pages of complex and simple cocktails. Honestly, it was so difficult to choose what drink to get because I wanted to get everything on the menu. The bartenders were so attentive and talented - their implementation of each cocktail was even better than the menu descriptions. Not only were the drinks delicious but also beautifully presented. They have some bar bites as well as quite a few small and large plates, we got the pretzels which to my absolute surprise were so good!

You can tell the bartenders know exactly what they're doing. The surprise star of the night, though, was the grilled cheese. Calling it a grilled cheese almost feels unfair because this thing was next-level. Perfectly crisp on the outside, rich and gooey on the inside, and paired with the cocktails so well that we were talking about it long after we left. Sometimes the simplest thing on a menu ends up stealing the show. The atmosphere strikes that perfect Charleston balance of classy, cozy, and effortlessly cool. Great service, great drinks, and one of the most memorable grilled cheese sandwiches I've ever had. If you're in Charleston and appreciate a serious cocktail program, The Gin Joint is a must-visit. Come for the drinks, stay because the grilled cheese will ruin lesser grilled cheeses for the rest of your life

Finds your table, if you arrive early for a reservation we had luck with them seating us and he says a kind goodbye as we left each time. Nice list of 3 mocktails so even if not consuming alcohol one can look to play the part at the table and enjoy the flavor notes of a well made cocktail. The first meal we had was a bit of a work/get together meal. We ordered an assortment of items off of the menu and created a more tapas menu. The charcuterie board we picked the cheeses for and it was lovely. All as expected and quite surprised to find a cheddar I enjoyed. Came with some grapes, figs, nuts, honey and I think mustard. Glazed carrots were phenomenal. Heartily enjoyed the beet salad and thought the presentation was quite pretty. Lamb lettuce wraps are alright. Not my favorite of all the dishes served but delivered as promised, nicely cooked and presented. Spouse really liked the lamb wraps and were a stand out dish to them. Meatballs are excellent truly great texture and flavor. Escargot was a fun take on a classic dish. Finished with a unique strudel in its presentation it was quite pleasant. Spouse liked the peanut butter chocolate dessert. For brunch, I had the carrot ginger soup. Which I must say was a total delight. The soup had the hallmark texture and base flavor of the carrot ginger but it had a beautiful breath of savory and some heat seasoning wise to it. It was quite an elevated soup and heartily enjoyed! I followed the carrot soup with a French toast. I am all for softly scrambled eggs but the French toast was a touch undercooked. (I did not let the restaurant know or give them the chance to make right. I regularly eat soft boiled eggs and soft scrambled so I felt comfortable with consuming them.) Strawberries were ripe and tasty. The whipped cream was gorgeous in thickness and flavor. One in law had the caesar salad with croutons and grilled chicken. Their bowl was left clean so while they are not the talkative of sorts they did seem to enjoy it. Ordered a baguette with butter. Unfortunately the butter never made it to the table but the baguette was enjoyed. Spouse had the Azur burger with the side of tapas style potatoes. All was cooked properly to temperature and texture. Flavor and taste as promised. Wasn't their favorite dish at Azur as we had tried so many lovely dishes a few evenings before. But it did deliver on what was represented in the menu. Other in law had the quiche and a side salad. They liked the quiche and would order it again.

We made the reservation months in advance and the morning of, they advised that our reservation was cancelled. Scrambling to find plans and hopefully a pool, one of the girls in our group called Little Palm and they were SO accommodating with our situation and welcomed us. We cannot thank them enough. When we first arrived we sat down and had brunch. I ordered the LP double cheeseburger and the matcha latte. The matcha latte was unimpressive but the cheeseburger was delicious. It hit the spot, especially after a night out. The yucca fries were delicious as well. The portions of all the dishes were great and everyone seemed to enjoy their meals.

We sat at the indoor bar, and our bartender was great. The drinks themselves were really good. My Hugo Spritz was excellent, and so was the Silk Sheets. They clearly put a lot into the cocktail program, with tons of syrups, ingredients, and more elaborate drinks on the menu. Unfortunately, the service was incredibly slow, and it seemed very clear that this was not our bartender's fault. The indoor bartender was handling the guests sitting at her bar, service tickets, and drinks for the pool. Meanwhile, the outdoor bartender seemed to have very little going on. Granted, it was over 98 degrees outside, but the workload just seemed really uneven. When we first arrived, it was literally us and one other gentleman at the bar. He wanted an espresso martini or something similar, but apparently the coffee bar had already been shut down for the day. I don't remember the exact reason. They did make it happen for him, which was nice, but it also meant our bartender had yet another thing she had to go out of her way to figure out. What made the wait especially frustrating was that the bar was not busy at the time. It took us around 10 to 15 minutes just to order our drinks, and she didn't actually get a full bar until about 3 to 5 minutes after we finally received them. So this wasn't a situation where she was overwhelmed by a packed bar. She was running out of ice, waiting on things she needed, handling pool and service tickets, and trying to work around a setup that just did not seem efficient. It honestly started to feel almost obnoxious to want to order another round because you could see how much unnecessary work went into making each drink. Again, that is not a criticism of the bartender. She was great and seemed to be doing everything she could. The issue was the setup and flow behind the bar. If you are going to have such an extensive cocktail program, with that many syrups, ingredients, and specialty drinks, the bartenders need to be set up in a way that allows them to actually execute it efficiently. The atmosphere was nice, the drinks we had were great, and I would absolutely give this place another chance. I just hope they figure out a better system because the bartender should not have to work that hard to overcome the setup.
