We got there 15 minutes after they opened and the only ones seated at the bar. You would think they would be on top of things that early in the evening. Nope, my wife had to wait 18 minutes to get her wine (which we bought the whole bottle). Second, they haven't changed their fryer oil in FOREVER!!!! Yes, I know what I'm talking about. As it being an open kitchen and you can see everything. We witnessed them take oil they just cooked in a pan and dump it in the fryer with the other oil. Are ya kidding me??? All the fried food came out dark as all get out it's been that long since they changed it or even filtered it. Third, some of the cook wore gloves and others didn't. No big deal normally. I watched one cook reach in the garbage and then proceeded to start preparing food!!!! No fing way!!!! Four, the Egg Roll was bland, the inside ingredients was garbage. Over cooked and tough. My wife's filet was under seasoned (well no seasoning at all), a cheap cut of meat and dry!!! The béarnaise sauce tasted and looked like it came out of a jar. It was the worst I've ever tasted. She asked for no vegetables and the risotto instead. She did get the risotto. I'll admit, that wasn't so bad. The bread that was under the filet was ICE cold. Not even sure why they served it or put it on the plate. Fifth, this is a one and done for us. There are soooooo many better options in the area with a better menu, price and service. To say disappointing is an understatement. Oh ya, almost forgot. We had to get a Togo bag and it reminded me of the bags you use to pick up your dogs poop. I'm not even joking.

All of the food came out at the same time which is not great timing with the kitchen as obviously appetizers need to come out first to enjoy prior to the main meal. By then our drinks were done. Not once did the bartender look over to us to ask if everything was OK or if we needed another drink or just water. We ate our meals without any water/soda/beverage to drink. The salmon was just OK, the mahi mahi sandwich was bland. We had to flag down the bartender for our check: $91 dollars later (!!) we left disappointed. Would not go there again. Ambience is stale as was the service and food.

We were excited to finally try this new beautiful restaurant. It was our surprise that we were…read moreable to get in on a Friday night on short notice but we were able to get a reservation for 4. Our table was right at the front door, which wasn't ideal but we made the most of it. Our server was pleasant, but it was hard to hear him because the dining room was crowded and very loud. We went there to try their signature cocktails and they seemed to take pride on the drinks and they were okay. I actually had to change mine, it wasn't balanced well like they claimed it would be. The food was delicious, a bunch of the snack plates and the shareables. I would give it another try, however, I think I would like to see more choices and perhaps try the speakeasy.

For the SPEAKEASY UPSTAIRS:…read more We were told you have to have a reservation to go to the SPEAKEASY that's on the upstairs of the restaurant -we made the reservation at 4:30 PM on a Friday night and we were the only people there for at least 45 minutes. It didn't seem that busy so I'm not sure why reservations are required, but it's a really pretty space upstairs. It's a limited snack menu and they do have nice drinks, but my husband wanted a pour of bourbon and they really didn't have an extensive selection as far as that goes. It was more of craft cocktails mixed and some beers. The downstairs restaurant and bar looked really nice so we'll probably just check that out next time instead for more selection of bourbon and food.

This is not luxury roof-top dining on the island... this is American pub comfort food... and it is GREAT for what it is. We've been there at least 10 times with only one item that was mildly disappointing. the pot pies, sandwiches, burgers. All great. Even the steak and fish. Their country fried chicken and mashed potatoes is the ultimate comfort food. I don't often order alcohol, but I love their light, crisp house ale and get it every time.Compared to most places now-a-days, the prices are good. I feel sorry for the reviewer who thought the Cracker Barrel across the street was better... they are somewhat similar, but OAH has more variety and is much better.

Hi Everyone, We…read morereally enjoyed our visit with Argent Lakes Pizza in Sun City subdivision in Ridgeland, SC. Their pizza tasted good, their service was outstanding and we did not wait for our pizza. They offer a New York/Philly/New Jersey style pizza which is much thinner than a Chicago deep dish. They are located in an outdoor location, so sunshine and blue skies are your natural ambiance which we felt was a terrific change. They are only opened until 7:00 PM now, but in March they will begin closing at 8:00 PM. They were not crowed when we visited so we did not wait for a table. However, we would recommend you call first to check to ensure they have availability first, as we did. This restaurant is open to the public although, you do have to stop at the Sun City security gate and get a pass to enter. We recommend Argent Lakes Pub & Pizzeria which offers a a full bar with beer and wine, a limited Pub style menu and pizza, and because it is a great outdoor restaurant which we felt was a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Hi Everyone, When…read moreyou unsure of what you feel like eating, what do you do? We like to frequent a restaurant with a good variety of entrees from which to select our meal. We sometimes prefer a cocktail or a glass of wine with diner and will occasionally have a tap only Guinness with our meal. We expect good service because we do not wish to wait, as most of us don't, because we have our lives to live and for some reason, we have gotten quite used to delicious, hot food! lol. We enjoy smiling, and laughing as many of us do, so a friendly, polite, and efficient Server is a plus. For all of these reasons and especially because we don't always know what we feel like eating, we would like to recommend to you the British Open Pub in Bluffton, SC. Why? Because the grub, sorry, food, I hate it when it does that, lol; is very tasty. Their menu offers a variety of different fare. Their atmosphere is quaint, pleasant, and laid back. Their service has been great every time. So next time you are unsure what you want to eat, beat your feet to the British Open Pub because you will be satisfied you did. Enjoy!
