The waiters and waitresses were absolutely amazing and were very friendly! We loved the beignets most definitely! Made delicious and powdery taste with cooly sauce! Pasta was amazing as well! Thank you for adding enjoyment to our visit to Charleston!
I feel I should start this with: We attempted to come yesterday. The website stated you're opened for brunch and dinner. When we arrived it was dark and obviously not opened. Perhaps update this, I'm sure we aren't the only ones to walk directly into the dark restaurant. The gentleman there didn't question why 4 people walked in, just saw us and kept walking. I asked; even though it was obvious if they were opened or opening and he said no. Just no. Very disappointed as soon as I walked in for this visit. I was with a group and didn't want to disappoint them. A few times I wanted to just leave. The serving staff seemed to have no direction and wandered around. No communication from hostess to the server who claimed our table, pretty sure the hostess should be the one seating. I had company from out of town and they always heard me talk about how much I love Eli's table. We had a great table but since one in our party had to use the restroom it was given to a party of 2 when we were a larger party and felt cramped where we were placed. The saving grace in the start was the bartender Billy was fantastic. He happily made drinks for my friends that were not on the menu. Which then turned into a large table next to us also ordering the drinks, so that was fun. Billy has a lot of personality. The thing that bothered me the most was my friend wanted a switch of bread on a sandwich and was told the chef would refuse to do so. Terry reassured us Corey is an excelled chef but I feel it's just bread. And a first time customer should have had a wow experience, we're in Charleston and are suppose to known for Southern Hospitality. I respect integrity of the dish but this is simply a bread switch. My Beet salad came out missing its basil oil and ricotta. I was told the person who put it together, it was their first day. I get that, I have grace for that; nonetheless, it's Expo's job to send out the food correctly. I did not send it back since I didn't want to waste it, did receive my cheese but not the oil. I could not tell if the Expo was a kitchen manager or a floor manager. She was not put together well. The first comment from my friend was, "who is she touching the plates?" She had a buttoned top but instead of it being buttoned she was sporting a low cut tank and her chest tattoo was on full display. Definitely out of place. Terry, Billy, the hostess and other servers all looked their parts. She was not an elevated staff member by sight. Nor did she play the role, seeing as how the food was sent out incorrectly. With that being said, if we retained our original table (reservation called in) we wouldn't have been able to see this person until her many trips away from Expo. Seems a lot has changed in a year, might try dinner or something in the future. Not sure. Change is good but not always.
Eli's Table is one of my favorite breakfast/brunch spots in Charleston. The food is delicious! I recommend the breakfast sandwich (bacon, egg & cheese on croissant) and the beignets. The sweet tea is exactly like it should taste in the South -- made perfectly sweet.
This place was beautiful and definitely a place to try! My husband and I wanted to try it because our sons name is Eli and has autism and doesn't like restaurants so we just had too 😁 our waiter was Jordan and he was pretty awesome! Any questions we had he answered easily with honest opinion, was very attentive also very informative with the menu. The food was amazing, we had the lamb and filet and our taste buds was for sure dancing around. We had some drinks wasn't a fan of the very berry margarita but if your lemonhead Charleston tap water is a must try! We ate outside and it was a really nice atmosphere 10/10 definitely recommend!
Loved the ambiance of this place. Soft live music on the background…welcoming staff. Food , on the other hand… i personally couldn’t eat it. The mashed potatoes- salty and over spiced . So spicy we couldn’t feed them to our daughter. Lamb chops were pure fat. I love a good lamb chop - however this was too much. Chocolate cake - too sweet. No flavor, just too sugary. Their fish soup was actually delicious.
