I visited Festival Hall (formerly Memminger Auditorium) for a CofC Alumni Gala. We were impressed with the spacious venue. The Hall has quite a few steps but has wheelchair accessibility on one side of the hall. They had a wonderful setup for this event!

You will actually be dining in a restored church-like environment here-- large dining room with…read morelots of seating, beautiful stain glass windows and a superbly large bar. The bar alone spans the length of the dining room. Make sure to order the coffee ~ the SC roaster is called Mozza ~ based In Spartanburg SC. They serve the beverage in a large mug so you will be good for a while -- just sit back, relax and savor. For larger groups there are several community tables. Church and Union is in a wonderful location as welll~ just across from the open air city market and steps from the waterfront. The Servers are friendly and efficient and aim to please. Note* ~ this restaurant does tack on a kitchen fee....so be prepared ~ in my case : $41.00 bill+ $1.80 KF.

We were kind of last minute planning dinner reservations for Halloween and for parties with those…read moreunder the age of 21, most places weren't allowing them in after a certain time. Everywhere else that had Halloween theme dinners were booked. So my daughters and I were elated that Church and Union had reservation times. We chose 8:30 for our party of 4. We dressed as 2000's rappers and were relieved that the hostess and other staff were also dressed up as well! We arrived about 10 minutes before our reservation and were promptly seated. The last time I'd been inside, I was in college and it was a nightclub that had been an actual church. (sn: I'm old ). The decor gave slightly gothic, religious. We had an awesome server who made sure to ask about any allergies. Pita chips and humus were brought out but weren't fans. I couldn't eat the pita chips, we all tried the humus and it was bland, lacking any flavor or seasoning. I had the lamb burger with gluten free bun and another potato option as the fries were breaded. My oldest daughter had the lamb burger with fries and the twins both had only a serving of fries. The portion sizes for the sides were huge! Our dinner was delicious. I'd say that the burger could use a little more seasoning My cocktail was refreshing and I "learned" that it was the number one choice, although I probably wouldn't choose it again. Over all, we had a great time and we'd go back to try something new for brunch and/or dinner.

I stayed at The Vendue from Sunday through Wednesday this past week, and I had a fantastic…read moreexperience from start to finish. Every single person I interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. You can tell the staff genuinely cares about making guests feel at home. My room was spotless, and one of my favorite things about the hotel was all of the artwork. There are unique pieces displayed throughout the property, and I thought it was really cool that you can actually purchase them if something catches your eye. My room happened to be French Bulldog themed, which I loved because it immediately reminded me of my best friend, who's obsessed with French Bulldogs. Another thoughtful touch was that every morning they left a small bag of pastries and fruit outside my door. It was such a nice surprise to wake up to each day. I'm also someone who always keeps the "Do Not Disturb" sign on because I usually don't want housekeeping coming into my room. Instead of assuming, they texted me each day to confirm that I didn't need anything or want my room serviced. I really appreciated that they checked in without being intrusive. The location is excellent, the rates were very reasonable for what you get, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at The Vendue again the next time I'm in Charleston.

What I loved about the hotel was the quirkiness. I wouldn't want to live in a house with a pug head for a door knocker, but it was fun for a couple nights! The location was also prime - right on East Bay for a quick walk to Market or down towards the water for an evening stroll past the pineapple fountain. I also really appreciated the early morning delivery of a muffin and croissant -- it was so nice to get my bag of goodies off the door handle and enjoy them while watching the morning news or puttering about in my pajamas. Even with all these delights, there were some drawbacks. The first room we were taken to had one chair -- whereas the room description included a desk and chair. I didn't need to write a novel, but with one chair and two people I'm not sure where they intended for us to eat breakfast. We also happened to be there in the midst of their conversion from one art theme to the next. So there were no evening gallery receptions or talks about the artwork (one of the selling features for us). This was also a quirky hotel for accessibility. To get to our room we went up in the elevator, then down a hall, down about 5 stairs, through a fire door across a stairwell landing and through another fire door to our room (one of two on our floor). I know that this would have been a difficult trek for my older parents, especially with luggage. Bottom line, it's a cute little hotel with a lot going for it. I might even stay there again the next time I'm in Charleston.
