[ Google Review ] Nice intimate distillery! Our guide, Ryan, was very knowledgeable about the process and gave us a GREAT tour and explanation of the process. We enjoyed a bourbon flight tasting and bought one of each! The make a whiskey from sorghum and one from red corn. Every one of their whiskeys had their own character and flavor! A really fun place to visit!

[ Google Review ] Charleston Music Hall is one of my favorite event and performance venues in the Charleston area. The hall is the perfect size as not matter where you sit or stand you are going to get a good view. I have also had a chance to be on stage for an event and it was a really cool experience. This place is well managed and organized and everything runs smoothly even with sold out events that are packed out. I like the drink and bar areas available and it really adds to the venue. Each event I have attended here has been memorable and enjoyable.

[ Google Review ] Superb meal with impeccable service. Ingredients are all regionally sourced, and prepared to perfection. The menu has a limited number of entrees, but it changes often, depending on available ingredients. Our party shared two appetizers (oysters and ribs, both wonderful) and had four different entrees all of which were delicious. Highly recommended.

[ Google Review ] Enjoyed Sunday brunch. Great spot. Wait was about 45 minutes but we found two seats at the bar. My wife had the buzzed donut and I had the Mexican hash. We ordered well. The atmosphere was fun and the conversation with the bartenders was especially nice (Sandy was fantastic). We couldn’t pass up the maple donut for dessert and enjoyed the sweet, fried treat. We will be back for sure.

[ Google Review ] The Angel Oak Tree is what brought me down to Charleston. It was gorgeous! Breathtakingly huge and beautiful. We met Maryann who works here. She was lovely and told us a lot of history. There was also a local artist named Frank painting canvas and selling. There was no charge for entry. They had a small gift shop but nothing very worthwhile to buy.

Notes:

[ Google Review ] Firstly, they have their own parking lot. So no street parking! The atmosphere and interior design are both lovely. There is also an open kitchen; I'm a huge fan of that. I got the Mezzo Explosion, which is when they send out 4 of their appetizers at random; great for the indecisive. Everything was fresh and delicious! It was mostly Mediterranean cuisine, so you will experience texture and flavors that you won't necessarily find at other restaurants around here. The apps didn't leave me feeling heavy, so I also got the lamb meatballs. They were the best part of the meal by far! The presentation was great, and it had a hint of sweetness that made for a delightful surprise. I will definitely come back to try more of their menu.

Notes:

[ Google Review ] Spectacular views! Great incline workout, love that it's 5 miles. The noise from the cars is pretty loud, so earbuds are helpful. We walked, and for the most part the cyclists were fine, there were a few that going pretty fast. It's important to stay in the correct lane and pay attention.

[ Google Review ] Nice two hour boat ride (note that it's not a narrated tour). We took the sunset ride which was beautiful though a bit cloudy. Only complaint is that they hit you with very expensive canned drinks on the boat and you may not get a seat unless you are at the top of the line. Other than that, it's a beautiful view and you get to go under the bridge twice. Just great!

Notes:

[ Google Review ] Food was absolutely delicious, and they had very quick and courteous service! The oysters, oyster shooters, and seafood overall was scrumptious. Only thing that could have made this meal better would’ve been a warning for the portion size. We ordered two entrees that I could eat in about four bites. I didn’t see that coming, and I would’ve appreciated a heads up! It was still delicious though, definitely a great spot!
