Brought my daughter and her friends here to celebrate her upcoming wedding and the experience was absolutely wonderful. Eric is incredibly knowledgable about wine, made the entire experience both educational and fun. Even the girls in the group who don't really drink wine ended up having a great time and created a wine blend that they truly enjoyed! Plenty of wine to taste and enjoy while you are creating your personal blend. You leave the class with a custom made bottle that you created with a personalized label that you designed (need to send the label design a few days before your class and they have it printed and ready for your bottle the day of the class). Go early and enjoy the beautiful hotel and art gallery before your class begins. This is a must do experience if you are in Charleston, you won't regret it.

His expertise with the red wines offered us the best wine blending experience. The blending room was adorned with beautiful art and was adjacent to the wine bar! The beautiful chandelier's lighting was amazing. Afterwards, we had fine dining upstairs in Eleve'. The meal was nothing shy of amazing! And we had the pleasure of meeting several members of management including Mr. Brown. It's always a pleasure when you see managers checking to make sure their guests are receiving the best dining experience.

Our second time here. After the first time, we recommended coming here to s number of people and…read morethe ones who then came were so very glad to have had the experience here. What do you have is Chef Bob Waggoner who has been a recognized chef for 30+ years. An affable, friendly, humorous teacher of skills and cooking, who will answer your questions quickly and effectively. The food "we" prepared, obviously with a lot of help from Chef Bob, was delicious beyond belief. Bob of course chooses the menu and buys all of the ingredients for each one of the appetizers, of the main course, and the dessert. As you smell what you are cooking, it comes alive to your nose and to your other senses. After that you sit down and eat your appetizer and then go back to fix your main course and then of course the dessert later. I wish that my photos would give some idea of the tastiness of our meal. It is so difficult to explain the taste of a meal that you have created, although Chef Bob was quickly back and forth to each of the 6 stoves being used by 12 strangers, who by the end of the evening (2 1/2 hours!) were not strangers any longer.

There's better offerings anyways.

4/5 Charlestown…read moreTobacco & Wine is a pretty cool spot. Tons of cigars, really good atmosphere, and a surprising amount of other stuff -- paintings, little knickknacks, even safety razors. It's one of those places where you walk in and just kind of want to look around for a bit. They do have pipes, but they're all jammed together in a cabinet, so it's tough to actually see what's there. Definitely could organize or display those better. If you're a hardcore pipe person, that part's a little disappointing. But the vibe overall is great. When I pulled up, there were people outside sipping wine and smoking cigars, and you can hang out inside too. Very chill place to relax with a drink and a cigar. Cool shop, worth checking out -- just not a destination for pipe enthusiasts.

The space is large with an L shaped bar giving you plenty of room to find a spot. I have not eaten here, but I'm told the $5 burger special is awesome. Another added bonus is for a downtown bar, there is a giant open lot at the other corner that we're allowed to use for free parking. I'm sure as CHS continues to build, this luxury will go away, but for now it's a bonus perk.

The wrinkled potatoes did suprise us as we weren't expecting straight up potatoes, but that's probably more of an error on our part. The Setas a la Parilla was my personal favorite dish, and I thought the mushrooms were really well made, and would def recommend trying. The lamb in the Zorza de Cordero was a bit chewy for my liking. Overall, I will say we were a bit confused how this place is a Michelin star resturant. I think in terms of ambience, this place didn't fit our Michelin expectations as it was quite small. While the food was good, and homely, it wasn't really unique.
