We spend the day here and the kids loved it. There were running on deck and loved having their photos taken in the captain's chair. There is a lot of information provided in the exhibits. There is no way to see everything in a couple of hours.
It had been a long time since I had been here. We decided that the last time we (brother, sister and I) were there was with my grandparents. My grandfather was a fighter pilot in WWII. It was nice to walk through the exhibits and think about him and all others that have fought for our country.

This is where we have been eating when we come into town to go to Market. The kids love it, so does the brother ... he was working his way through the pub creations (half and half, black and brown for example) during his 3 visits here this trip.
The second time I came here during the recent trip I had the crab fritters with onion rings (appetizer) and She-Crab Soup. Yes, I was having a crab feast on my last day in Charleston. Mom was surprised, given that I am known to not eat soups. But yes it was soup, but is also had crab in it, and crab trumps soup.

As the host was taking us to our table, I quickly decided which seat I was going to occupy ... the one by the window. The view was amazing. We got to see several barges go by (excitement for the kids) and watched the sunlight fade away to darkness.
The food was delicious. W (my 10 year nephew) had a blast choosing his meal ... this was the first trip that he has been choosing from the main menu instead of the kid's menu. He had a hard time, because he takes after his foodie father, everything sounded good to him. He ended up choosing a pasta dish that made his eyes light up. I don't think there was anything left on his plate at the end of the meal.

One of the things i look forward to when coming to the Isle of Palms for the family vacation is the first meal of trip ... always at the Boathouse. The atmosphere is causal beachy. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food ... just like coming home, good, comforting, something I look forward to. There is a reason we come here every trip, sometimes twice. We had a reservation, and the only wait for our table was due to our early arrival.

Johnny's Italian Steakhouse

So I was in town for another training session with Epic a couple weeks (or last month) ago (finally getting to the review ... yes I am procrastinating .. avoiding studying for the Epic Certification.)
The first night I had steak with shrimp stuffed with crab. It was awesome. I was very impressed. The service was very quick, I never felt that I was missing anything. (4 stars)
The second time I went there, I wasn't as impressed. I took advantage of Restaurant Week. Salad, Appetizer, steak and desert. The food was still good, but the service was lacking. I almost walked about, because it took any waiter that long to acknowledge me. He wasn't present when he was at my table, I felt like an inconvenience ... I wish I could say that it was because the place was very busy, but that wasn't the case. I was very disappointed that my experience was that different from the night before. (2 starts ... for a 3 star average.)

I have only had the 'Cake of the Day'. It was amazing. The other items in the showcase looked good also, but they never could top the cake, especially after trying it. I would have loved to have it each time I was in the park during my last visit, but that would have been bad for the waist line.
We were looking for a place to eat one night and ended up here. It was a great dinner.
We had the House Special Dinner (for 2). This included soup of the day, Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Tikka, Prawn Kebab, Boti Kebab, Chicken Curry, Rice, Raita, Onion Chutney, Rice and Papadum. Yes, it was a lot of food. More importantly, it was good food. Yes, there were leftovers and the husband enjoyed them.
It seems to be a family run business. We got to talk to the owner and he talked very loving of his family. It wasn't busy, we are hoping that we came in on a slow weekday night. We are planning a trip back here when we are back in town.

Would give this zero star if I could. We ate here tonight ... the best thing at the table was the kid's cheese pizza. There were two families in our group.
Ordering should have given me the heads up of how the experience was going to be, but I chalked it up to that she was a teenager. S and I waited for the meals, while the husband, T and baby went to the table. S is waiting for the last meal and turns out that one of the staff had taken it to his wife. After taking the remaining food to the table, S went back for their drinks.
I was waiting for our food. I didn't remember what he ordered, but the staff gave me what I thought was the correct order. About 5 minutes later, I hear them calling our number. It is at this point that we realize that my husband had ordered something else. I go up to the counter to let them know that we have our order (given to me by their staff) they didn't seem so surprised when I told them we already had our meal.
I will not be going back to this location and will be hard pressed to try another location.

This is a good place to take a break and have lunch or dinner. Send one person to scout a table and one to get the food and you are set. The food is basic Disney fare but the draw for me (the fair skinned gal) is that I can eat out of the sun. I like options that keep me out of the sun even though I had been putting 70 SPF on my arms and face. The table are spread out so you don't feel like you are on top of other families taking advantage of this dining location.

It was as advertised (word of mouth), a upscale gastro-pub. I love the feel of the place .... very cozy, great food. Their menu will be changing every so often. We had Mac and Cheese (using Stilton), Warm Olives with herbs, a squash salad, Grilled Cheese Sandwich with portabella mushrooms, and a s'more sandwich for desert. The food was delicious and there is no way I could do them justice.
The reason I give it 4 stars .... because I know they will get better ... hard to believe but I know one of the chefs that is creating the Side Door and he is leading the team to incredible levels. I can't wait to go back.
