This was my first child to get married, and I had so much to learn! She helped me navigate the maze of event planning. She met with me several times, allowed me to do multiple walk-throughs, try out different ceneterpieces, etc. and was on-site with us the whole night - even the day after Thanksgiving! The space is lovely - dark wood, elegant furnishings and fixtures. Two beautiful rolling bars that were enormously helpful. Tables, chairs, bar stools all included. The view from the patio is stunning. If you're doing an evening event, make sure it includes sunset! We couldn't have been happier!

The nice amenities, decent gym and friendly staff are what creates the environment for a pleasant experience. Two of these were met and the friendly staff, was mostly there. . .but one sour apple truly changed the course of our stay. Even my wife, who worked once upon a time in hospitality at Kiawah Resort, was started by the interactions from The Loutrel Hotel staff member. Long story short. The daily complimentary breakfast was served. I accidentally went to place the granola lid on the yogurt, my wife told me that was the wrong lid and I went to correct. From across the room the breakfast attendant yelled, "sir that doesn't go there." Startled, I immediately removed it and placed it accordingly. I laughed it off. Moments later I went to sit my breakfast down where my drink was located. Same attendant, "you're not even sitting at the right table with your wife." Again, my error, but don't call me out twice in one morning. It's a small lobby, so many staff members overheard the interaction. Nothing was done by other management. The next morning, I walked down to look at breakfast. I saw the same attendant and said, good morning. She looked at me but wasn't pleasant in her response. Unlike the rest of her colleagues at the restaurant who are polite and kind, the same customer service I expect and provide to my customers. Breakfast offered salmon with some type of eggs or shellfish. I can't eat shellfish, allergic. So, I went to grab a biscuit at a local coffee shop and a coffee. We came back to the hotel and sat our food down. The same rude attendant came over, nudged my wife in her back and said, "you can't have this here, cross contamination." So, I left. Allowed my wife to eat her yogurt in the area. Funny enough, my wife asked where the utensils were, because every table had them. Same attendant rudely, pointed to another table for her to get them. I should have just sat down and ate my food as I didn't see any signs for "no outside food." Either way, stay somewhere else. It's unfortunate that a hotel like this allows such rudeness from a staff member. I did report this to the manager, and online but was met with more passivity. Comped two nights of valet. Honestly, it wasn't enough. I would never stay here again and it ended the trip on such a sour note.

We walked in after a long day of walking on the beach and destroying each other in pickleball (DM me if you want to meet up and play) and were greeted with a bottle of champagne from our lovely friend. God I love bubbly. I think I belong here. We order steak frites, truffle fries, crab fondue, sweet corn risotto, and salmon carpaccio. Housed it. Took it down. But we are also ladies so we shared it all with love and grace and mutual respect. Birthday girl joyful. Birthday girl happy. Birthday girl felt free.

The menu is small but well-curated, with a focus on charcuterie boards -- both savory and sweet -- plus a few bar snacks like chips and dip. It's the perfect setup for sharing bites while enjoying everything else The Bunker has to offer. There's so much to do here -- fantastic for a work get together or a family event... it has axe throwing and simulated golf to putting greens and interactive darts. We went on a Thursday night for Team Trivia and had an absolute blast! The drinks system is super convenient: you're given a wristband when you had over your credit card & every time you want a drink it's scans the wristband when you pour your own drinks, which adds to the laid-back and social vibe. The space is large yet cozy, and the staff couldn't be kinder or more helpful. There's even a small gift shop with fun local items to browse. Overall, The Bunker is a great mix of games, good food, and friendly people -- an awesome spot to relax, play trivia and check out all the interactive games on offer.

The distillery itself is absolutely gorgeous, with a rustic and charming feel, plenty of parking, and a layout that makes it the perfect place to host an event. Even though all the vendors and some food trucks were unable to make it because of the snow, I still had the chance to enjoy a delicious lobster roll and creamy lobster mac and cheese that were incredible. The flavored moonshine was a real highlight and so much fun to try, and the strawberry lemonade was perfectly refreshing. I loved the cute little photo opp signs and all the fun swag. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the whole visit a warm and enjoyable experience. Scotty C, this would be the perfect spot to host a Yelp event or any special gathering for that matter! I am already planning to come back for a tour next time. The distillery itself is just stunning and there is so much to explore. Everything from the beautiful setting to the delicious drinks and food, to the friendly staff, makes Firefly Distillery a must-visit destination.
