Poogans Porch, Charleston, S. Carolina

We have always posted our reviews of restaurants on 'Open Table' before now, so I'm going to re-post on here. In future I'll give a little more detail on what we ate and prices etc, but for now I'm just copying in from there!

'After waiting until 8.50 for out 8.15 reservation ( a pet peeve of mine) we were finally seated. (No apologies for wait!) They had no where decent to wait as the bar area was being used for dining ! It was valentines evening and we expected better. The wait staff in our dining room were friendly, if a little untrained - but this is not a gourmet restaurant - just good southern cooking. We enjoyed the food, but would probably not go back as too many other choices in Charleston..'

Overall rating : 3/5

Ok ..if you have the money to splurge then this is the place...everything...and I mean everything! was perfect. I had pre-informed the restaurant through Open Table that this was a 5th wedding anniversary celebration...and from the moment we arrived we were congratulated by all the staff we met, seated by the piano ( they had a live jazz singer that evening) which was fantastic. The dining room is romantic and you aren't so close you can hear what other diners are talking about. The food was exquisite and to top the evening off they bought us complimentary glasses of champagne and a hand made celebratory dessert with happy anniversary enscribed on it...one of the best meals we have had.

Overall Rating 5/5 (can I give 6?)
