Our family enjoyed a wonderful Saturday brunch. Our server was top-notch, the atmosphere had that upscale southern feel, and the food and drinks were perfection. All six of us enjoyed our experience very much.
The Jazz band stopped playing shortly after I sat down in the restaurant, darn! Love the colorful & playful bold artworks around on restaurant walls. Paul is knowledgeable, amicable, the light conversations happened makes dining solo comfortable & enjoyable.
We had dinner here on a Friday night. Our server Brian was great, he treated us to champagne and dessert for our anniversary. I had the BBQ Tuna rare, my wife had the beef tenderloin. We had sides of broccoli and mashed potatoes. Everything was outstanding. Live music, nice atmosphere.
The food and service were outstanding during our recent visit. We celebrated my father's 89th birthday and our server delivered complimentary champagne for the table, as well as a dessert to share at the end of an amazing meal. What a memorable experience! It's one of our favorite restaurants!
Had a fantastic dining experience here with some loved ones celebrating a birthday. They made the dinner so enjoyable. Service was extremely accommodating and helpful. Delicious cocktails, the appetizers we tried all left us speechless...The steamed clams were some of the best I've had in the Charleston area. The Birthday girl chose this restaurant just for the beef carpaccio and she left with a huge smile on her face. One of the tastiest espresso martinis I've ever had!
I went here with my mother because she wanted excellent shrimp and grits. The restaurant was bustling when we walked in for our 12:15 reservation. As a vegetarian, I prepared myself to cobble together a meal with a corn muffin, and assorted side dishes. When our server offered the off-menu vegetarian plate to me, I said yes, expecting rice and stir fried veggies (as I've received at other restaurants). But no! I received this bountiful plate stuffed with local favorites like cheesy grits and red rice, along with carefully prepared vegetables like fire roasted tomatoes, glazed eggplant, and beyond-crispy baby potatoes. I couldn't finish it all: I left the restaurant stuffed and satisfied. If the off-menu dish is that good, I think that bodes well for the actual menu. My mom loved her shrimp and grits! Highly recommend a visit. Exceptional food, reasonable prices, and great hospitality.
We have been traveling for 2 weeks in the South, and S.N.O.B. ended up to be my favorite restaurant. Everything was perfect at the restaurant: the service , the ambiance, the decor , the white linens on the tables , and of course food. I can confirm that they have the best shrimp and grits I have tried. We had a lot of food and drinks , and the bill was very affordable compared to other fancy restaurants we tried in Charleston . I highly recommend this restaurant. We stopped by for lunch , and it was a full house on Wednesday afternoon. So , the reservation is highly recommended. This is the restaurant to remember ! And come back once we travel south again.
I popped in to this gem whilst be-bopping around in downtown Charleston and what a gem it is. We sadly did not eat, but we did have wine! Lol. They had a lovely wine list and a great ambience. I will be revisiting for sure! It's classy, dim lit, and a bit swanky. I dug this place. Our bartender was great.
4/10/24: We had an 8:30 PM reservation at S.N.O.B. However, they didn't take us until 9:00 PM. : ( . We started out with delicious corn bread. Entrees consisted of Shrimp and Grits, Grilled Chicken and Halibut. Dessert consisted of one slice of Amazing Banana Cream Pie and 6 spoons. The food was very good. The restaurant has a nice upscale decor. The one thing I didn't care for was the restroom location. There's a small surrounding partition to wait inside to enter the single restroom. However, you can look out and see the dining tables just "a little too close". Service was mostly good. Indoor and outdoor dining is available. Regarding parking, we took an Uber for the evening. Street parking can be difficult in this area.
