We came here tonight for a late Valentine s Day and will not be back. They do not cater to vegetarian/vegan or any special requests we learned the hard way. I explained I needed sides I veganized and was told cauliflower and succotash would be no problem. The cauliflower was nothing but creamy base and cheese which came out first. I gave that to my husband. He ate that - basic mistake no biggie. Then we were served the succotash. It had pig in it chopped finely.

I was done. I wanted nothing else. But our waitress she told me some salads would be fine - so I told her just choose for me. She was very sweet and asked me to please choose but at that point I just wanted out of there.

Our check came and we were asked to pay for it all except for the succotash with the pig. Looking at the ticket, there are no red flags instructing the kitchen to make the veggies without sauce like requested or the succotash with no meat like we spoke of and she said could be done without checking with the kitchen. In a busy kitchen, dietary requests must be made on the tickets - not verbally. I should not have been served those dishes. We will not be retuning - Charleston has too many great locations that think outside the box and are happy to accommodate requests.
