An all around spectacular meal. First the service was first class from the greeting and seating to the table service. Every single dish was fantastic but the Beef Carpaccio and BBQ Tuna really stood out. Great selection of Gluten Free options on the menu, very accommodating. Thank you for the wonderful visit, can't wait to return.

A must for breakfast or brunch! They have a gluten friendly menu if you ask. They have a dedicated cooking space and fryer for GF food and they offer GF bread for burgers/sandwiches. The French toast is amazing!!

They offer 3 GF desserts. It was really hard to see the peanut butter chocolate cupcake and not be able to have it, but the chocolate mousse tart was delicious. It’s a great place to pick up dessert!

Brandon B. gave us outstanding service. My wife has multiple food allergies (Gluten and Dairy) and they were extremely accommodating! There were 5 of us and we ALL thoroughly enjoyed our experience. She crab soup was voted best in the city by everyone in our group (and we had a lot while in Charleston) and the up charge for the smoke experience in a cocktail is so worth it! If you’re vacillating between what restaurant to eat at…GO HERE!!!!!!

The service was absolutely amazing! The hostess, Tatum at the door was so welcoming. My server, Hallie was so helpful with navigating gluten free options. My best friend is vegetarian so we are hard to accomadate but Hallie was bubbly and happy to help! She helped us find the perfect dish for both of us to enjoy. The live music was astounding! Nothing compares to the craving I get for port of call!

Great place! Great service. I got a great mocha latte, and my husband got a cold brew. There was a line, but the barista and cashier worked together to make drinks very efficiently. They even had gluten free brownies and knew enough to tell my husband that they had no gluten in them, but that no special preparations were made in their making. We appreciated that kind of care. I recommend this place!

Gabby and Dom were great servers and very attentive! Having a gluten and dairy allergy they brought out the sou-chef to talk with me about menu options and were very accommodating and reassuring in my food restrictions. A great meal!
