    My first time visiting this spot and I will say the food was outstanding! I highly recommend the sicilian meatballs as a starter. The gravy sauce was amazing with the French fries. The spinach ricotta gnocchi was so flavorful, an entree must try. The restaurant itself was very neat with the different themed/color rooms. The room we were in on the second floor was a bit tight as the table behind us was chair to chair. The drinks and appetizers came out in a timely manner as for the entrees, there was a long wait. Despite this, service was great and very enjoyable.

    Amazing atmosphere. Incredibly friendly staff. Very cool vintage Mediterranean vibe. Nice wine selection. It's a wine bar, but I'm a gin drinker. Bartender made me a perfectly poured g&t, lime was fresh, not a dried out scrap from two shifts ago. I'll definitely be back!

    My boyfriend and I came here for dinner on our trip to Charleston and we had the best meal of our life! First: this restaurant is located in an old home off a side street in Charleston. So cute! We had basically our own dining room due to it being an old home. Such a unique experience. We started off with drinks and fresh bread. We had a shrimp app which was refreshing. We had the salmon special and chicken two ways. Both delicious and filling. All the pricing was reasonable too. Then we finished off with the pomegranate dessert which we finished. We truly had the best service and experience here and can't stop telling everything about this place!

    What a special surprise having dinner here with a group of friends for her bachelorette. We had a reservation and were placed in a room with two huge tables (another party ended up using the other table towards the end, which made for a super loud room). You start off by meeting Donnie who asks for everyone's drink orders but not in the usual way. He gives you three liquor options, gathering what each person likes, to craft a tasty cocktail just for you! Donnie was super personable and made the entire experience for us! Next, they bring out a selection of appetizers for the table to share. Luckily there's something, even for the pickiest eaters like me! After that is the main entrees, which is a selection of all kinds of food for everyone to share. My personal favorites were the meat balls, pasta, fries, and the Brussel sprouts. I highly recommend this place for big groups! I'm so happy we came across this place and chose to eat dinner here!

    We had dinner here Saturday night. Restaurant is inside an old house which is neat but also had the old musty house smell. As a tourist, I don't know if that's the normal Charleston smell or if it's only at some restaurants but seemed to be a common theme throughout the trip. We were seated up stairs in the back corner room near the fire place. We opted to split appetizers since we had been grazing all day. Meze platter, duck, meatballs and pickled shrimp. Everything had nice flavor. The pickled shrimp are chilled cocktail shrimp served with a green, pickled mango sauce... it was very different but in a good way. Still trying to figure out what was in dip. The duck was delicious but was very fatty. I know that typical when ordering duck but wanted to note in case you're not expecting it. Meatballs were our favorite. Dip the bread in the sauce! So good! Hummus and eggplant dip on the meze were also amazing. I'd venture to say they don't have a bad item on their menu. Really cute little spot. Not a ton of seating so make reservations or you may not get in.

    Get together for her friend's birthday dinner upstairs and it was quite delightful. Our server was pretty chill, although it was a quiet Wednesday night the place was still warm and inviting to the whole group. The food was delicious, although there did seem to be a bit of wait.

    we made a reservation for 8:45 and we did not have to wait one bit, took us right to our table. the service was very good. the place was beautiful, very asthetic for pictures. the food was SO good. we got the meatballs and fettuccine carbonara which went really well with the white wine i had. the only thing that would make it a 5/5 is if they played some jazz music for everyone to hear!

    This place was not bad, but not the best for the price in a place like Charleston. Food was pretty flavorless and my espresso martini tasted like water. Still not bad but probably would not come Back

    Cute restaurant in what felt like an old historic house. Outside courtyard area with seats that you walk through to get to the entrance. If you have someone with limited mobility I would suggest calling bc there are seatings on the second floor. Bar area was nice with a couple of seats. Would try bar seating for our next visit. We were seated on the second floor and greeted warmly by our waitress. I got an old fashioned that was excellent and my husband got a dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives. He loved it. I had the pumpkin ravioli that was the perfect serving size and flavorful but not too rich. Sometimes I have ravioli and wanna pull out my old maternity pants, this did not make me feel that way. My husband got the calamari appetizer as his meal and was very happy with his crispy squid. Vegetarian friendly, I had a few options. Will probably try the eggplant next time Cozy with soft lighting, perfect for a date night. I would not bring a child here

    Sat in the small bar area by choice. The bartender was very personable and great! The beet salad was good. The carbonara was very boring.

Rich textures, warm lighting, and that unmistakable southern charm create an intimate, welcoming atmosphere that feels purposely hidden. Katie, serving as both bartender and host, elevated the entire experience. She was gracious, professional, and genuinely friendly the kind of hospitality that makes you want to come back before you've even left. Her Knob Creek whiskey sour was exceptional, easily one of the best in Charleston. Perfectly balanced with extra froth, it showed the kind of craft you expect from a top-tier mixology spot. If you're looking for a speakeasy that nails vibe, service, and cocktails, Scotty Doesn't Know should be at the top of your list. A standout gem in Charleston's bar scene.

There's a comprehensive cocktail menu and the French 75ish and the tiramisu martini were both delicious ($18 each). The prices are super comparable with other bars downtown. They have a full bar if you'd like a standard cocktail or any other creation I'm sure they could make it. Our server was great and very attentive. The kitchen stopped serving food at 10pm which I wish we had been told when we came in because I tried to order fries at 10:04 and was told I couldn't. Which I understand I just wish I had known. The place is pretty small and dark and very quiet so the perfect place for a calm nightcap.

We were looking for a…read morelate night spot to grab a beverage and an appetizer/snack and decided to walk into Grand Bohemian Wine Bar. When we walked in, the bartender and a waitress were talking, and acting very upset that we interrupted them. The bartender gave us menus and for being a wine bar, they did not have a large selection of wines by the glass, and had a handful of wines by the bottle that were severely over priced. We ended up on a white wine, and for the price, we were not impressed. (I should say that I am in no way a wine snob but know what I like). We had ordered the burrata and when it came out we were in awe, because what was on the plate was not in fact burrata. By the time the waitress dropped it off, she was gone quicker than we could inquire why mozzarella was on our plate. Eventually she came back and when we told her that it was not in fact burrata, she went back and spoke with the kitchen and came back and told us they ran out of burrata and just replaced it with mozzarella. (Making it seem like they just wanted to get away with it and were hopeful we would not notice). In the end, with the food mishaps, lack of choices, and very poor service; this was the big disappointment of our trip.

    We had the greatest time here. The wine is great, the Beef Carpacio went insane mode. WILL BE BACK!read more
