The Kosher options are very limited in Charleston, so much so, that after doing an extensive internet search, I only found two, possibly three restaurant options. I called up Dining In and spoke with Marcie, who was very gracious in handling my delicate situation and extremely accommodating. The meals were delivered to the hotel room upon arrival and my boss, you know, the one with the discerning palate, was extremely pleased with the menu options and the presentation of it all. If you want certified Kosher, look no further. Dining is it! Keep in mind, they are NOT a restaurant, but a Kosher food catering company that will deliver small-portion meals.

Impeccable brunch!!…read more I had a reservation on a Sunday morning. I was promptly seated downstairs. The interior is feminine and beautiful. The service felt personal and welcoming. I tried the omelette which was stuffed with asparagus, Boursin cheese and caramelized onion. It was fluffy, light and salty.

I'd definitely come back from brunch and curious to try for dinner!

We could hear everything everyone else was saying, and it was difficult to hear others at our own table. The rock music did not help the cacophonous ambience. We ordered the deviled eggs which were tasty and the mushrooms. Some mushrooms came in a creamy sauce which tasted fine, but the other mushrooms were fried and bland. Our entrees were the rabbit, snapper, and scallops with sides of dirty rice, grits, and cabbage. The meat was tender and there were some nice flavors. The dishes were all decent, but very rich and heavy. So, if you like the feeling of that in your stomach, this place is for you. Our server was nice but a bit officious. For the price, we didn't feel the experience was worth it. We thought it was an attempt at elevated southern food that didn't quite succeed.

For food, I tried the fried catfish entree and Green apple-cauliflower soup. Both dishes were good. The fish was very tender and juicy. The butter bean succutash, which I never had before, contained butter beans, black eyed peas, corns, green and red peppers and red onions. It was delicious but since beans are of high FODMAP, I only had a little. The fish was topped with tomato jam made with crushed tomatoes, onions and sugar. It was served chilled. Paired well with the fish and succutash. The soup was creamy, silky, and full of flavor from cauliflower. The pistachio added some crunchiness to it. The taste of "green apple" was not obvious; in fact I was expecting there to be some apple slices, which could add extra texture and sourness to this rich soup. I also asked for a side of sourdough. A bit too salty for me. The service was kinda slow, except that food came out in reasonable amoutn of time **after I placed the order**, that is, I waited quite a while to order my food. The same for doing the check. I guess it was because there were not many staff at lunchtime, and most of them were senior thus could move as fast as young ppl.

My first experience at Euro Foods Bakery & Cafe was underwhelming. Given that they had good reviews…read moreon Google and Yelp, I was excited to add this to my list of "hidden gems." I went to look at their online menu and realized I'd be keeping it light for the sake of my daily food budget. I called in to order takeout and ordered the Blintz, as it was reasonably priced and fair for the portion size: two crepes filled with their beef filling and a side of sour cream priced at $7.99. When I walked up to pay, the lady rang me up for $10 and change. I thought it was weird that I was paying nearly two dollars in tax on an eight-dollar purchase. She printed out the receipt, and it showed the price was $8.99 for the Blintz. There happened to be a menu right next to the cash register, and I pointed out that it said $7.99, and that their website said the same thing. She said, "sorry ‍," and just waved me off as if it was completely irrelevant and not worth looking into. Obviously, a dollar is not the end of the world--it's more the principle of placing an order under the expectation that prices are as advertised, and that not being the case, plus them not caring about it. I paid the $10 and took the food. They forgot the sour cream, so I had to ask for that. The last disappointment was when I found out how much food I got for $10. I get that you pay a little extra for quality, but sheesh... these things are barely the size of my finger. The food was overall pretty tasty; if we're just measuring taste, I'd give it a 7.5/10. Overall, this was a very poor experience, and it might be hard for me to try again.

The menu had a lot of great options, to the point where I easily could have picked multiple dishes to try. For drinks, we ordered the Adeline cocktail, a Negroni, an espresso martini, and a special that was similar to a margarita. All of the drinks were well-balanced and enjoyable. The espresso martini was good, but pretty average -- nothing that really stood out compared to others we've had. For appetizers, we got the tuna crudo and a 1/2 lb of the roasted shrimp. Both were very good, but the shrimp specifically was incredible -- honestly some of the best shrimp we've ever had, and we go out to eat a lot. Next time, we'd probably just order that on its own as our appetizer. For mains, we had the swordfish and a special lobster ravioli. The ravioli itself was filled with corn and polenta, with about 2 ounces of lobster added on top. Both dishes were very good, nicely portioned (not too large), and beautifully presented. Service was great -- the staff and our waitress were friendly and took the time to explain everything. The atmosphere was also really cool and a bit different from your typical restaurant. At the very end of the meal, the waitress brought over two glasses of cognac and a flower for the women at the table, along with an explanation behind it (I won't spoil it so you can experience it yourself). It was a unique and memorable touch. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth visiting.

They curated their menu and offered a streamlined and limited selection that made the decision making process easy for guests, and gave me the impression that they prioritized quality over quantity. The stained glass ceiling caught our attention immediately, and based on my elementary SparkNotes-level understanding of Shakespearean literature, I'm assuming it has something to do with the restaurant's namesake. Aside from minor wear and tear on the booth we sat at, everything else appeared well maintained and clean. Our server provided helpful recommendations and feedback when placing our order, and we received warm and friendly service from the staff throughout our stay. The nori milk bread was fluffy and flavorful, and the cocktails well crafted and refreshing. We enjoyed the chilled oysters, although I thought it had a bit of a lingering aftertaste. I've never eaten Swordfish before, and I found the flavor profile and texture interesting especially with the charcoal smokiness, but I personally prefer a richer, melt-in-your mouth quality. On the other hand, I found the Rigatoni Bolognese outstanding, and I devoured that within minutes. The portions for the main courses were on the smaller side, however ordering a dish off each section of the menu helped to create a perfectly balanced meal that didn't have us feeling underfed or overstuffed. Tempest was a refreshing departure from the overcrowded and high energy "touristy" establishments we visited. In comparison, we found the atmosphere far more relaxed, the food just as impressive, and the value better overall. I would add Tempest closer to the top of my "must eat" restaurants on a future trip to Charleston, and I'm curious to see how their menu will evolve over time!
