Katy O: The spinach ravioli with prosciutto cream sauce. and the gnocchi with Gorgonzola and arugula were so good. Best Italian I've ever had in Charleston.
Sonia: The menu is written in Comic Sans, but don't let that fool you: great atmosphere and food.
Stuart McDonald: One of my favorite spots in Charleston. Not super expensive or tourist ridden, which is a huge plus. If the weather is nice, check out the patio where they have live music sometimes.

Matt Fowler: Excellent, high-end art food, locally sourced ingredients in a classic French presentation. $$$$$ special occasion price point but masterfully prepared and well executed. Competes with Chas. Grill
Julia Lovett: Eat the coconut cake!
Eater: The service is attentive, the dining room is stunning & the food is beautiful. Everyone talks about the famous coconut cake, but the Banana “Panna Cotta” Pudding is also outstanding. [Eater 18 Member]

Gary Cook: The duck confit grilled cheese can be looked over for other offerings. The pulled pork sandwich has a great flavor with the signature South Carolina mustard zing. Service and atmosphere are superb.
Marysol Burgos: show! And let me not forget to mention DELICIOUS biscuits and sweet butter served at the beginning of the meal!
Wendy Sauvlet: Was a bit hesitant to try the crabcakes - I'm from Maryland...we're always suspect of crabcakes outside of the Chesapeake. Poogans' crabcakes are GREAT - different from what you'd expect in Maryland
