I dined at Eli's Table with my family to celebrate my birthday. It was a lovely restaurant with friendly service. The food was tasty, but I especially loved the dessert. I appreciated that they had a kid's menu. One thing that was surprising and disappointing though was the state of the bathroom. It didn't look like it had been cleaned in months. Other than that, the restaurant was very nice.

Came for brunch during a weekend trip to Charleston. This was our third time visiting Charleston and was our favorite brunch by far. We sat outside on the patio which was quiet - perfect for our sleeping 6 month old. My husband and I shared the chicken & waffles and crab & eggs. I can't emphasize enough how good they both were! The chicken and waffles were cooked perfectly and the flavor was excellent. The crab and eggs were one of the best crab cakes i've ever had - mostly crab, almost no filler, and very flavorful. Our waiter was a bit chatty but friendly! This will be the first place we visit the next time we're in Charleston.

Eli's Table provides a remarkable sense of family and quality. There is a sense of belonging and caring from the staff that is so prevalent from the moment you check in to your final bite. The staff is informed, fun, energetic and there to cater to your needs. You will know what I mean when you experience this dining. The menu is small, because each meal and appetizer is prepared with quality and love. When you see the Fried Green Tomato Tower, you will be like "Wow". Overall, for an intimate, fun, high-paced yet relaxed experience, come to Eli's and on the weekends, there will be some light jazz to accompany your meal.

We were drawn to Eli's Table as there was live jazz on Friday and Saturdays. However, it was a gentlemen playing the keyboard. No singing, only live music. It was still very nice. The service was very friendly, our server Raymond was welcoming and made out night! We stopped by after dinner for a night cap and live music. We ordered the southern Gentlemen drink (which was made with Bourbon) a, a fruity non alcoholic drink and beignets, which is a speciality of this spot. Wow the beignets were delicious! I'm still craving it today! Overall, the service was too, Raymond was the nicest! The music was relaxing and the beignets made my night!

OMG.... What an incredible breakfast place! We were lucky to find this restaurant so we made this our morning breakfast spot during our visit to Charleston. We were greeted and shown to a great table in front of a window. Jess B, server, had greeted the three of us. Jess, very personable, had went over the menu. I had ordered the Two Eggs Your Way and my friends had ordered the Crab & Egg. While were waiting, Jess, would cover and chat with us. Within a few minutes, our meals were delivered. All of our meals were good size portions and seasoned just right. With my meal, I had a homemade biscuit with an incredible jam that we couldn't get enough of. Jess was so nice and gave us a complimentary order of Beignets with the same jam. The Beignets were out of this world. The dining area is well lite and inviting. I would highly recommend this restaurant for the food and service!! Thanks again, Jess for the incredible service.
