Their cucumber mint margarita was so refreshing. In my pictures you will see: Beef Carpaciao Burrata with ham and peaches Beat salad Chicken Dumpling Oysters Potatas Bravas Corn Bread Squash Their menu changes often so more reasons to keep coming back. Centrally located in the charming Old Town Bluffton . There were no early reservations available and took a chance on walk in and were accommodated on the patio. Very attentive and friendly service. We will be back and totally not wait another 5 years for this true gem.

I wanted to love it, but I found the food to be decent/serviceable. The apps and dessert were strong but the entrees while appealing fell flat for me. I did enjoy the cornbread, some of the best I can remember ever having. The dessert I recall was very rich but good. The recommended Pork Chop dish fell flat for me, I found it very tough and did not finish it. Forgive me if there are regional differences in the prepartion (like with BBQ). Good: -CORNBREAD!!! -Oysters Bad: -none

I've been spending my summers in Bluffton for 65 years, and I can honestly say this was one of the…read morebest dining experiences I've ever had. From the moment we walked in, every member of the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The hostess graciously worked us in, even though they were not expecting us. When I asked if we could move outside because we had an infant with us and didn't want to disturb other diners, the manager couldn't have been kinder or more accommodating. He moved our table without hesitation and made us feel like it was a pleasure--not an inconvenience. Our server, Andreas, was absolutely exceptional. His attentiveness, warmth, and genuine care elevated an already wonderful meal. By the time we left, we felt like family. The food was incredible from start to finish, but the baked ricotta appetizer deserves a special mention--I would come back just for that! Thank you to Andreas and the entire team at Joelle for your outstanding hospitality! Experiences like this are rare, and you have earned customers for life.

Hi Everyone, Where…read morecan you go to enjoy lunch or diner while you and your friends play a three games of pool? Yes, this is an age old question that has tried Men's souls for over a decade, lol. The ambiance here is a bar and grill decor, you know dark, and laid back so you can relax as you enjoy your lunch or dinner. However, I do not recommend it after 7:00 PM which should cover about 70% of us Low Country patrons. Their service was friendly, knowledgeable, and fast. My 16 year old Grandson who was visiting for our annual, golf, beach, fishing, and fondu diners and what ever adventure we enjoy together. You know, the visit which you have done with him and his Sister all of their lives, meaning, each year since they were born while you give their Parents a rest which they have always appreciated for a couple of weeks, or, in few years, a month. But as many of us have experienced 16 is a challenging age for almost all youth just as it was for you and I. In our day, many of us were working in the summer at that age but today, I am very happy to say, many of our Grandchildren will now rotate their friends into their summer jobs which is smart, while they are gone, and are now available for visits. But what to do that do to entertain your digital challenged linage? Some of whom only venture outside at night at 16 as they feel the extreme heat of our days can stifle even the heartiest our souls. You still want them to feel you are cool, like when you, and they were younger and you visited Ft. Jackson in Savannah, or to the Tall Ships that were docked, Putt Golf, the Kazoo factory, days trips on the Pirate Ship, The Beaufort Water Festival for everything to MoTown Monday while dancing and singing along, to Bed and Raft races, Bocce, or The Chocolate Tree or summer camp each year for a week, or for trips to St. Augustine, or Disney World. But at 16 that dog just don't hunt. So what is a cool Grandpa to do? I decided we would venture out to enjoy some fried gator (tastes like chicken), which he had never eaten before, and which were perfectly prepared. Their Burgers were delicious with an excellent taste. We had a great time together playing pool, while laughing at a few of our shots, and talking while hanging out together.. And you know, he really had a great time doing what some of the time, I enjoyed doing in my youth. So if you feel you need to revisit your youth, possibly with your next generation, or just want enjoy a leisurely meal and libation with some friends, we can recommend Tailgators Bar and Grill for some, with Grandson, or none. So stop by and give Tailgators a try as you might find, you get what you need. Enjoy!

Truffles is a perfect middle ground of casual and slightly up scale! You don't need your Sunday best but your going to have delicious food and too notch service! I have never had a waiter or waitress be anything but exceptional! I have fallen in love with their tuna appetizer. Their ribs, Ahi tuna steak, their bugers, their ribs. All of it!!! Their desserts are also a must try and cannot be passed up. I LOVEEEE this place! Not to mention my friend who is not able to process meat gets their burgers without the patty. And they took a portion off her bill for her meal! Which absolutely never happens and just goes to show how great of service they provide to the people dinning. My ONLY thing is that I wish they could make a baller espresso martini! Unfortunately you have to request it without Bailey's and you will not receive any foam on top like you expect for your espresso martini. It's just coffee and your alc in a martini glass. Normally a bad espresso martini is a deal breaker for me. But their food and service is just to good to miss out on!

I was extremely disappointed with the hostess, who also answers the phones. Another customer apparently had a phone number similar to mine, and the hostess mistakenly entered my number into their reservation system through OpenTable. When I received a text confirmation for a reservation I never made, I immediately contacted the restaurant to address the issue. During my first call, the hostess stated that the reservation needed to remain in place in order to hold the other customer's reservation. I strongly disagreed, as my personal information was being used for another customer's booking. I attempted to cancel the reservation myself through OpenTable, but the app indicated that only the restaurant could remove it. I called back to request that the reservation be properly canceled, especially considering I was spending my own time trying to correct an error made by the restaurant. Unfortunately, the hostess repeatedly insisted it had already been canceled while speaking in a condescending tone. She then placed me on hold without asking if I was able to wait because she had another customer in front of her. When I called back, my calls went to voicemail twice. I ultimately left both a voicemail and an email regarding the matter. Based on this experience, whenever we visit South Carolina in the future, we will not be returning to this restaurant location.

Everything from the ambiance to the service was top-notch, but two things made the night truly unforgettable: First, the burrata. Calling it delicious is an understatement--it is genuinely to die for. The pairing with the plum chutney is sheer genius, striking the perfect balance between rich, creamy, and subtly tart sweetness. Do not skip it. Second, make sure you grab a seat at the bar. Jackson is a master at his craft and hands down mixes the best drinks in town. Balanced, inventive, and served with great energy. Whether you're stopping by for craft cocktails or a full dinner, Crudo delivers on every front. Can't wait to come back!

I had the wild boar ragu, and thought it was both creative and flavorful. We finished with some sort of chocolate pie... I wish I. could remember the name. Great! They have a nice wine menu that should meet the needs and desires of all who dance here. The Bar Tender made us a few 1947 Air Mails... Great rum and Brut concoction... off menu.

MY REVIEW Humidor well stocked no empty boxes. Selection is what I expect. Good humidification happening. Keeping cigars from drying out. Walking in greeted by owner. I did not stay to smoke but the smoking area has a TV. There is a well stocked bar area. Seating both inside and outside. Good spacing and seating options. Would recommend as a place to spend time by yourself to chill or with others who enjoy a a place to buy, smoke, and have a drink. The name does set the tone before you walk in "Peaceful". When the world is chaotic great place to quiet the mind and smoke carry your cares away. Poof. Bought 3 cigars. Pricing runs from $10 to $35.
