To the owner and manager: if you turn back the time on the Charleston food scene, it will be obvious who has stood the test of time and who has joined the restaurant graveyard. No venue is to big to fail.

My wife and I preceded to be at Grace and Grit at 10am this morning, which is when they open. There was ample seating and only a very small group of people being sat. As we were being sat by the hostess, we were told there was a reservation at 11am and we had limited time to eat and go. Eat and go, huh? Our server reinforced this by saying that they are trying to get as many people in and out as possible and continued with his smile and gouge, smug attitude, for the rest of the time we were there. FOOD: it s nothing special, Pages Okra Grill in Shem Creek epitomizes a quality brunch experience in the Low Country, whereas Grace and Grit is your pretentious, overpriced, bad service, food is meh, restaurant. There are two things in life to avoid when dining out: Places with great views, and places that are new. For brunch, I would recommend elsewhere as I have never been encouraged that I have limited time to eat and leave.
