    Love!!! Love!!! Love!!! This place. This is the embodiment of Beaufort. Their selection of olive oils and balsamic is unmatched. The unique gifts and culinary tools and gadgets can please any cook or chef. The staff is so insanely sweet. You just feel good being here. If you are in Beaufort, stop in and indulge.

    Olive The Above on Bay Street in Beaufort is an awesome place for all things olive oils, balsamic vinegars, and many other tasty items. I really like that almost all of the items that are for sale are available to sample and try and taste. I like being able to taste all of the different flavors before making a purchase and even being able to combine different flavors to make even more flavors. The staff here is extremely helpful and patient in suggesting different flavors and combinations to meet your needs and goals. There are so many good items that it is hard to make a wrong choice, but there are definitely some flavors that really stand out and are a must to purchase. Overall this is a great store and I will be returning for refills.

    Olive the Above is a fantastic specialty food store in beautiful downtown Beaufort. I have been in the store several times since being in town and each time I am greeted by very friendly employees. They offer amazing vinegars and olive oil, all that you can taste test before buying. They offer small bags of plain popcorn to help you decide on your favorite oil and/or vinegar. Although Olive the Above is mainly an olive oil and vinegar speciality store, they offer wonderfully looking honey, syrups and more, as well as unique mugs, kitchen wares and more. After sampling a fare share of both oil and vinegar, I was completely sold on the coconut balsamic vinegar. It was amazing!! I am sold on this store & the employees and I cannot wait to recommend Olive the Above to anyone I talk to!

The buffalo pizza and chicken caprese sandwich were absolutely delicious and huge portions! We're taking home half of both the entrees. The vibe and music is not too loud either. Still easy to have a conversation across the table. Loved the wood fired oven right in the middle of the floor! Felt like we were getting a meal and a show. Can't wait to come back.

We ordered a lot of food and drinks and created stacks of dirty plates which she saw but never removed. I had to flag down another server and asked him to take a stack. We saw her at the server's station on her phone but she didn't seem as interested in us. I had to call the young man over again, and wound tipping him my portion instead of her. Please... I ordered the mussels which were great, loved and shared them. Some mussels are dripping in oil or swallowed up in sauce, but these were great. Although someone at the end of the table found her order had chunks of garlic in the sauce that was a harsh surprise. I ordered a half pizza with salad. It was really delicious. The salad was fresh and the pizza was baked in the heart oven and came out perfectly crunchy. The place was pretty slow at this time and so not loud or dirty, just wish Emma had given us the service we deserved.

Let's talk about the food Everything that we all had was absolutely amazing. I had a glass of sangria, Caesar salad, and the blackened dorado. I love mahi, it's one of my favorite fish dishes, and this was cooked so well. Not only was it glistening and just sliding apart, it was seasoned really well. The potato cake, pickled vegetables, and beurre blanc went really well together. I forgot that I ordered the bread pudding for dessert. Absolutely delicious! I didn't want to stop eating it haha. It's been a while since I enjoyed a meal like this one! I hope to visit again when we're in town! Also, this would be a cute date night spot. It's right on the water & the ambiance inside is soothing.

    Dirty rooms with mold. No privacy. FALSE advertising…read more The photos of the rooms are beyond misleading. Privacy is non-existent. You can hear through the walls. Almost all of rooms are just modified duplexes/apartment buildings with shared entryways and balconies. We booked one room for almost $500 a night for a romantic evening and they tried to put us in a cheaper room thinking we would not notice. It was damp, moldy and I found a bug in the room. Once I complained that it did not match our reservation, they suddenly told us about an alleged A/C issue and tried to put us in a "better room". The furniture was damaged and the shower was moldy in that room and in NO way was this comparable to the reservation we made a month prior. Park passes, breakfast and bicycle rentals are "complimentary" but yet they charge you $18 a day resort fee to have access. I do not recommend staying here at all.

    Traditional inn in a pretty pink house with rooms decorated with old fashioned wardrobes and…read moreflowery wallpaper. Bed rather soft and bouncy which is always an issue with older lodgings. The place can use some updating and they seem to be doing that - part of the house is under construction looking like a new deck in the works and at night also work being done to the lobby. The room we booked is a "courtyard queen studio" which has the following description on the website - "Our Courtyard Queen Studio guest rooms are ideal for business or solo travelers. These rooms feature queen beds and stand-up showers. The upper-floor studios have private verandas that overlook the semi-private Lower Courtyard, and the ground studios have lovely front patios and gardens adjacent". However our room doesn't seem to match much of the description other than it has one queen bed, as the bathroom has a small tub, and we are on the second floor but no veranda (maybe second floor is not "upper floor"?). Anyway also not sure why they are called "studios" since it's just one standard room. Anyway other than that our overall stay is comfortable enough - the ceiling fan is a good feature. Breakfast is a bit of an issue however. The inn doesn't provide breakfast so you are given a voucher to have breakfast at one of two nearby cafes. Each voucher basically only subsidizes your breakfast by $7 or $10 respectively which is not enough to include coffee or tea and depending on what food you order will not cover the full amount of that either. That came as a surprise and is not what I'd expected when breakfast is supposed to be included. I don't mind going somewhere else for breakfast but the voucher should cover a set menu that includes at the very least breakfast food and beverages.
