The duck was extremely salty!! I mean tasted like they don't measure and had a bad taster. It was terrible. The calamari was the tiniest and saltiest appetizer I've ever seen for $15, The catfish had a bed of extra spicy, salty rice again with the salt. The collard greens were both too salty and too sweet. Cucumber salad had an unpleasant taste. The shrimp skewers, steak, burger, truffle fries, mashed potatoes and cornbread with guava butter and were seasoned well. I ordered the $49 filet mignon and my receipt showed a $54 charge, with not 1 side. The waitress dropped the birthday cake off and kept going. I asked if they would sing happy birthday she said no and walked off, extremely cold. They made us sort the $1027 bill out among 18 people, awful experience. Almost all of the group's food needed to go back bc of the salt overload, except the burgers, shrimp and steak. Definitely won't be returning.

Only $7 to taste multiple wines (which change week to week), and you don't have to wait a month for the next 'wine tasting'. Grotto has an actual tasting bar, plus an option to order a plate of exotic salami and cheeses which can't be bought locally. This gives Grotto a huge advantage over Mickey Fins which is set up like the inside of a gas station. Mickey fins has competitive pricing, and a very large selection, but does not do daily tastings, nor do they have a bar/sit down area. Both know their wines well, both have been friendly and helpful. Overall, this is a wonderful place to buy wines or to relax and socialize with friends!

All of this is true of The Grotto, and more. Vince and Maura, the owners of this lovely wine bar, are amazing! They have really managed to create something special. They both really love and really know wine! And they love to talk with people, from the beginner to the expert, about vino. Vince has amassed a truly impressive and unique collection of wines that you won't be able to find anywhere except maybe Charleston. And he's very good at helping people find interesting and unique wines at great prices. If you like or love wine, check this place out. I can't emphasize it enough. You won't regret it!

We visited Cibo by Stefanos today for a casual family dinner -- our first time there. My wife, our…read moretoddler daughter, and I were hoping for a chill family spot, and the restaurant did have a "hole in the wall" vibe that felt casual enough. Unfortunately, the food and service didn't live up to expectations. I ordered a calzone, my daughter had spaghetti with Alfredo sauce, and my wife had shrimp scampi. The only positive was portion size. Everything else fell flat: my wife's meal came out cold and bland, the shrimp was tough, and the sauce tasted canned. The bread was stale and cold, and my calzone felt more like a Hot Pocket than a freshly made dish. Service was slow and unenthusiastic, like the staff didn't want to be there. Considering the prices, the experience was not worth it at all. I would not return or recommend this place -- I would give it 0 stars if I could.

Tapas-style menu & excellent, personable service. It's like the Cheers of cigar bars, where you're made to feel like everyone knows your name & welcomes you back. I'll definitely check them out again!

Also not pictured, we had the calamari (8/10), artichoke dip (8.3/10) and bread basket (6.5/10).
