    Chicken Chilaquiles with a fried egg
    Najah H.

    For today's Sunday brunch (Atlanta location), we were celebrating the Virgos in my crew. We brought our own desserts - an entire cake and 6 cupcakes. Our server was delightful by asking about the special occasion and took the desserts to clear our table. We started with the crab dip (tip: ask for crudite because it comes with chips). To drink we had the Ginger Margarita, Dragonbird and Bellini. The Dragonbird is served in an adorable little bird glass too. The dip was delicious and a perfect starter. For brunch - we had the Classic Breakfast, 3-Egg Gruyere omelette and Chicken Chilaquiles. Remember to customize your eggs, your protein and any sides. The chicken sausage is incredible! And they did cut our cake and served it to us along with other guests. We left it for the staff! Overall, a great atmosphere, amazing service and the location is charming down at City Springs. Parking is validated for 2 hours (use QR code) or park in the deck for a fee. On this day there was an event so parking was a flat $10. Perfect for a date, cocktails, groups or special occasions.

    This place is such a vibe! The ceiling covered in flowers and the warm glow from the lanterns make it feel so cozy but still really stylish. Perfect spot to hang out with the girls and unwind. And great spot for pictures. The drinks were amazing--super tasty and really pretty. The frothy cocktail was smooth and rich. Was a whiskey sour not on the menu. The tall fruity one was so refreshing. Definitely the kind of drinks you want to take a picture of before sipping. We also had the ceviche and it had great flavors and the perfect thing to snack with homemade chips. If you would like to eat at the restaurant side I would make a reservation. I'd come back in a heartbeat!

    Absolutely love this place for brunch. Everything I had was delicious! The portions are massive and the cocktails will not disappoint. Our server was very nice and we were there on Easter so I appreciate the team showing up. Ask for the house hot sauce, it's not spicy but it gives the meal a little something extra. The cinnamon roll is MASSIVE enough for everyone. The location is great right on the corner and easy to access. Inside is warm and inviting. Will definitely be back for more delicious entrees

    The Select is an upscale restaurant in downtown Charleston with stunning decor and great food. I went for brunch and ordered the chilaquiles and a coffee. The chilaquiles were delicious and fairly inexpensive in my opinion, I highly recommend them. The coffee tasted a bit burnt and it was slow to get a new pot, so unfortunately it wasn't worth getting; hopefully just an off day on the coffee. Everything else was great including our friendly server. If you're looking for a good brunch spot then I'd definitely check out The Select!

    My bff and I came in to enjoy a bottle of wine on Wednesdays 1/2 select bottles night. We ended up choosing a nice rose and picked at the butchers block for a little snack. It was our first time here and we appreciated the very night ambiance throughout the location as well as the friendly staff and waitress. We asked a few questions about which wine and snack we should pick and the staff was very nice and patient asking the chef and then getting back to us. Will for sure be back to try more menu items!

    What a delightful spot for some brasserie favorites. Parking in building that's validated started us off happy. Beautiful design with fun music set a good atmosphere. Service from Gwen was very efficient, friendly, and informed. Brunch Stand outs included the best banana bread of my life, a proper French omelette, and wonderful version of hash browns. French onion soup and quiche Lorraine were solid. We will be back for dinner!

    I was pleasantly surprised upon entering The Select. A spacious dining room and very large bar area overwhelms you as you enter as well as lots of windows and lots of light streaming in from busy Meeting Street. Oh boy! ...the server just set down the yogurt parfait and additional side of fruit. Love..Love ...Love!! Service is friendly and efficient ensuring your visit is super duper and not your ordinary brisk in and out type of experience. Jacelyn D. was wonderful and helpful . Will return! On to the parfait now! Cheers!

    Celebrated my birthday at The Select. First, I loved the atmosphere. Great decor and elegant. Our appetizers were the home made Fresh Baguette with salted European butter and the hot blue crab dip. The bread was fresh and delicious. Make sure you add a little butter on it. YUM!!! The crab dip was creamy with lumps of crab meat. The braised short rib and steak frites were delicious. Short rib and steak were tender, full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Our waiter Lucas was amazing. He made my birthday dinner experience very special. Thank you Lucas!! Highly recommend and I will be back. Make a reservation!! #birthday #celebration #happybirthday #goodeats #greatservice #steak #shortribs #fingerlingpotatoes #mashpotatoes #crabdip #wellseasoned #fullofflavor #cookedperfectly #charlestonsc #southcarolina

    Stopped in late on Lady's night, but still had good drinks, music, and fun. Sat at the bar and was provided great service from the bartenders. They were happy to answer questions about their menu and gave great suggestions. My friends and I ordered a variety of drinks, which all were to our liking. Had to try the Bird of Paradise in the oh so cute bird shaped glass, and it was delicious. Next time we'll grab some of their great looking dishes. The live music was very entertaining and up-to-date. One man band, playing his sax with instrumentals of popular songs from all genres. He even put his instrument down and sang a few songs, while the audience joined along.

    We visited The Select on a Saturday evening, having made a reservation in advance. The interior was beautifully decorated, especially the bar, which featured gorgeous hanging flowers. I was excited that their drink menu featured some non-alcoholic wines, and got the N/A Sparkling Rose. It was so tasty and refreshing, and truly tasted like the real deal! We also started with two dozen Oysters to share between the three of us. I loved that their mignonette and hot sauce came in little glass bottles with pipettes, and all the Oysters tasted super fresh. We ordered a bunch more items to share - the Lobster Arancini, Roasted Mushrooms, Peruvian Ceviche, Squash & Burrata, Hot Blue Crab Dip, and Miso Golden Tilefish. The Squash & Burrata and were my two favorites, but everything was really good. Portion sizes were generally small, so we were able to finish all the food with no leftovers. For dessert, we got the Sticky Toffee Pudding, which was so rich and delicious, without being too decadent. Service was friendly and relatively quick. Overall, awesome for dinner!

    Came here for brunch on Easter and the place was packed! The cinnamon bun was gigantic and could definitely feed the entire table. Everyone's entrées were great size and we left feeling very full. Crowdpleaser for our table was the French toast. The vanilla mascarpone combined with the brioche bread and the strawberry compote was Chef's kiss ! Their cocktails were very refreshing and tasted amazing. Love the elegance of the dining room and will definitely be back for the French onion soup!

    Risotto Al verde with chicken and extra dirty martini with extra olives
    Maxine C.

    This place was so fabulous! The demeanor was very cute and quaint like midsummer meets the city. The food was even better. The lobster arancini and Caesar salad were delicious appetizers! I got the risotto with chicken for my app and the flavors were divine. Jocelyn, our waitress was so sweet and hooked me up with extra olives in my martinis. I couldn't even get a picture of the desert before we devoured it, but highly recommend the espresso crème brûlée was amazing! We will definitely be coming back here for ladies night and highly recommend to all.

When we made our Tuesday dinner reservation the day before, there was nothing available before 8:30pm. But when I checked on Tuesday afternoon several slots had opened up and we were able to move ours up to an earlier time. The food was very good.

Especially enjoyed the combination of Brussels Sprouts on a bed of pureed parsnips. We had the flounder and the Gumbo for our entrees. And while they didn't look very substantial, we were quickly full. The ciabatta and parmesan butter that we couldn't resist may have had a little to do with that.

He said I'm not allowed to tell them until 5 pm. WHAT???? You start charging dinner prices at 4 pm. At least you could have told me that and I would have sat and enjoyed my wine for 15 minutes. But nope, you did not disclose that until after I asked and our orders were placed. I'm just giving folks a heads up that may be making reservations. Wait until 5pm if you want to hear the specials. I'm giving four stars for food quality only. We have been coming here for 30 years. Made me very sad.

We were staying at the Meeting House Inn so were able to easily and leisurely walk to lunch and dinner. Service was excellent, true Southern hospitality, and the restaurant is adorable. Food was amazing, each of the four of us loved our dish and tasted each others as well: - shrimp and grits - 5/5, plentiful and plump shrimp with a flavorful sauce over creamy grits. This was not my dish so I only got a taste and next time we go back I'm going to get this for myself! - grilled salmon sald - 5*5, arugula, couscous, dried fruit, pine nuts, feta, lemon shallot vinaigrette (this dressing is so delicoius! I want the recipe!), two of us ordered this one and again, i got a bite and want to order this for myself next time (see the problem here?) The combination of flavors and textures was amazing. Rave reviews from all. - scallops or was it special flounder - 4/5, I can't even remember what I ordered and the fact that I cannot quite remember it but distinctly remember my friends' lunches means I did not order the right dish! It was solid but not something to write home about (or on Yelp about) - corn muffins - 5*5, i'm pretty sure the corn muffins came as the "bread" for the table and they were so yummy! Our server heard me rave about the not too sweet, moist yet with a nice crumb muffins, and asked if I wanted the recipe, to which I said Yes! I look forward to going back next time I'm in Charleston!

We got there just before 6 PM, and although the restaurant was pretty full, they told us they'd try to seat us outside due to our party size. That worked perfectly since they had heaters going. They quoted us a 45-minute wait, but it ended up being closer to 15 minutes -- a great surprise. The service was seriously outstanding. I have zero complaints. Everyone was so personable and attentive. For appetizers, the beef carpaccio was my favorite. For entrées, we ordered the pork chop, tuna, duck, and lamb -- and we all shared bites. Everything was delicious. My pork chop did come out a little dry, but when I mentioned it, our waitress didn't hesitate at all. She immediately took it back and insisted on bringing a new one, making me feel completely comfortable about saying something. While I waited, she brought me a complimentary soup, which was such a thoughtful touch, and the replacement came out quickly. The manager personally brought out the new dish and waited while I cut into it to make sure it was perfect. She even came back later to check again. That level of attention to detail really stood out. To top it off, they brought out dessert and a round of champagne for the table. I wasn't drinking, and they noticed -- so they brought me a mocktail without me even asking. That kind of attentiveness is rare. The inside looked beautiful, and I'd love to sit inside next time to experience the full vibe, but outside was perfect -- not too cold, not windy, and overall just a great atmosphere. Overall, one of the best service experiences I've had in a long time. Highly recommend.

It sets the tone immediately, and the festive energy carries straight through the meal. We kicked things off with Bloody Marys and a Morning Fog -- simple, classic, and done right. For starters, we shared the Hula Hoisin Wings. They were definitely on the heavier side with the hoisin, but still absolutely delicious. The Mistletoe Mango Tuna Poke Tacos were a standout. They come as a small plate with three appetizer-sized tacos, and every bite was bright, fresh, and beautifully balanced. The Buddy the Elf Burger offers a choice of a single or double patty; ours was cooked perfectly. The smoky bacon really brought everything together and gave it that extra "wow" factor. We rounded things out with the O Come, All Ye Fried Rice with Hanger Steak, which was another winner -- perfectly cooked, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. As if the meal wasn't great enough on its own, we happened to be there while Emily Curtis was performing. She's truly incredible and added such a fun, memorable vibe to the day. I'd be remiss not to mention Kevin our server. Go see him. He was great. The whole team works great together. Don't let the bar-like atmosphere fool you -- Prohibition is far from your typical bar food or bar scene. There's a great space in the back, and the elevated menu makes it absolutely worth the visit.

The dirty sodas, especially the vanilla Coke, are dangerously good. The kind of thing you could absolutely get hooked on. And somehow, on top of all that, the prices are more than fair. It's such a refreshing break from the overpriced downtown spots. From start to finish, this place has it all: great food, great service, great atmosphere, and great prices. Total package.
