   We have eaten here for years. And this was the worst experience we’ve had. The drink was terrible, Aperol Sprtiz even after sending it back, appetizer came out 10 minutes after the meal and absolutely no one showed any interest. Poor showing today.

   Wedge salad was good; needed more dressing. Fish was dried out, had no sauce to help. Potatoes were good. Shrimp appetizer did not say tempura but was way over breaded.

   1st time visitors to this restaurant and they need to figure out if they are fine dining or highly expensive casual. We tried T&T based on the menu choices as well as being featured on a national TV program. Some patrons were well dressed like us and others came in tees & flip flops. Split the dining room and waterside bar if needed, but don't intermix the two. Dinner napkins were old bar towels and nobody seemed to mind the leashed dog that came wandering through the dining room half way through service. We asked for a new table for something closer to the water or at least not next to the kitchen in/out walkway, but were told no despite the restaurant being 80% empty while a table of 4 next to us was quickly reseated upon their request. Food was average but extremely overpriced for the atmosphere, service, and the overall experience versus other Charleston options. Highly disappointed.

   Spent 54.00 on an Uber to the restaurant so we could enjoy cocktails with dinner. Had to put a 50.00 deposit down to make the reservation for two people. After ordering drinks and sitting for 15 min with no drinks or even water the waitress came out and said they ran out of gas so no hot food would be served. Not even an apology from the server only a “there is nothing I can do”

   Appreciated the opportunity to delay our reservation 15 mins to accommodate the late arrival of our full party. Food and service were good but the menu selections were limited and many were pricey. The free outdoor parking was chaotic and unavailable. We ended up parking in an adjacent garage with a fee.

   Both the food and service was amazing. We had dynamite shrimp, brussel sprouts, flat iron steak, shrimp and grits and wedge salad. Enough to share on all around for 4 people. Beautiful sunset views.

   The server was very attentive and personable. Our appetizers were good, particularly the Brussel sprouts. Our entrees were not good at all, the scallops were severely overcooked and too salty to eat. The flank steak was extremely bland and the mashed potatoes with it were unseasoned and had large chunks of potato that were not cooked long enough before the mashing process. Admittedly, we did not tell the server, though the plates were barely touched. I worked F&B for 20 years and don’t want anything comped. The food has gone down hill over the last few years which is sad because we really used to love this place.

   Food was good but the chaos at the hostess stand almost made us leave. People were clearly frustrated. Need to manage that better.

    It was my first visit to Tavern and Table. Loved the interior of the restaurant, looking out onto Shem Creek. Everyone enjoyed their food. Our waiter was a delight!
