We closed on our condo in August 2023 and are still trying out all the amazing restaurants Seabrook & Kiawah have to offer. This restaurant greatly exceeded our expectations. The entire atmosphere is a special experience by itself, then add in the incredible food & wine and you’ve got *chefs kiss 💋 *. I can’t decide which was best: The wine bar or the Warm Crab & Artichoke dip or the Scallops. Probably one of the best experiences we’ve had on Kiawah. Highly recommend. The staff is amazing. The food is amazing. Everything. 10/10 ♥️

Worth checking out for date night. Great food and plenty of wine selection. Ordered pork schnitzel with fresh made wine gravy, mushroom rizoto and vegetable medley. And for appy we had baked brie. Everything was exceptional and not a bad price for the quality of the food. Nice interior and good service. Great place to dress up and take your significant other or someone special.

The wife and I came here for dinner. As we have never been to Kiawah before we were recommended to fortyeight if we wanted to stay downtown. The wife order the falling in love, and loved it. I got the old fashion and it was to be expected, still very good. We got the garlic fries for an appetizer and the garlic aioli was absolutely out of this world, it was so good. The wife got the shrimp and grits and she said it was amazing. I got the meatloaf, and I have never in my life thought I would order meatloaf. The mashed potatoes were perfectly creamy, the asparagus was perfectly cooked, and the meatloaf was both moist yet not soaked. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The meal was not cheap but was way worth it.

Visiting from Minnesota. We had Dara as our server and she was very knowledgeable about the food menu and had good recommendations. Shrimp and grits with andouille sausage was wonderful and we split the crab cakes too. Apparently the chef is from Maryland and he definitely don’t skimp on the lump crab meat! Thanks for the wonderful experience on our trip ♥️

Such a fun spot! We love the vibe there and the owners are so generous and kind! It's great to choose different meats and cheeses each visit. My daughter loved the Alfredo and is waiting for it to come back on the menu.
