Gabrielle

I feel compelled to leave a review for Gabrielle after reading such mixed reviews before visiting. Our experience could not have been better! The food, ambiance, and service were exceptional. My husband and I had a small wedding last weekend and picked Gabrielle for dinner afterwards with our wedding party. Angelina greeted us with a complementary glass of champagne and made us feel immediately welcome. After the complimentary brioche rolls and cornbread muffins with seasoned butter, we started our meal with the signature seafood tower, mushroom flatbread, and truffle fries- all delicious, and items we would order again. For our main courses, we enjoyed the mushroom pasta (my parents are still raving about this dish and planning to come back for it specifically), butternut squash main with lentils and romesco (a surprising winner!), the pork chop, the filet, and the chicken breast (all well-enjoyed). We closed the meal out with crème brûlées. Everything was wonderful and we will most definitely come back again! Thank you, Hotel Bennett, and Angelina, for the exceptional experience!

First time dinning here! We love the ambiance of the setting. The oysters were fresh (smaller on the size but definitely very fresh). The octopus with the potatoes were amazing, the meat was not chewy but melt right on the tongue, and the seasoning of the potatoes was excellent. Short rib- was also great, the meat was tender and juicy. I love the asparagus but minus the extra peanuts sprinkled on top, it was a bit too much. Macaroon was also yummy. The espresso martini is a must, it was creamy and splendid.

The green smoothie was delicious and refreshing. The omelet and other dishes were decent, though not particularly memorable. The pricing felt a bit high for what we got, but the atmosphere was lovely and made the visit feel special. Great spot if you’re looking for a nice dining environment.

Gabrielle’s delivered a wonderful dining experience in the heart of Charleston. The cocktails were expertly crafted, and the Caesar salad was crisp and full of flavor. The filet was perfectly cooked—tender and juicy—paired with fingerling potatoes that were crispy and delicious. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the ambiance was elegant yet relaxed. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but worth it for a special night out.

From The Draw Of A Hat (picking a different restaurant every 2 weeks from the top 50 restaurants in Charleston - according to Charleston Magazine) 07/17/2025 - Gabrielle - on King Street I would give the service and staff a solid 10. The ambience of the dining room, lobby, entrance, etc. rates a 10+++. It is so elegant and chic! Now for the menu choices, I was disappointed. We are both big meat eaters and the choices were very few. There were more seafood and fish items but nothing much for a meat-eater. You really only have the choice of a chicken breast or a fillet. Too bad. And the only sides are what comes with the item and that is pretty scant. The food was bland and nothing to get excited about. Needs to offer a bigger menu and some side options. So, for us: Service - 10 Ambiance - 10++++ Food - 6 or 7 Would we go back? If the food could improve and more choices, I would go back in a second. The place is beautiful and very special. But as it is now, I would only go back to sit in the bar or lounge and soak up the atmosphere. I would not eat there again. This is a great place to stop and have a drink before going out to a show.

We stayed at the Hotel Bennett and ate at Gabrielle for brunch and breakfast multiple days, plus had pre-dinner drinks one night. Each time was better than the last! The breakfast and brunch dishes were carefully curated with unique ingredients to surprise your taste buds! I tried the avocado toast, three egg omelette, berry bowl, a latte, regular coffee, and Aperol spritzes and everything was delicious. Service was top of the line and incredibly accommodating. Tip: eat outside on the patio if it’s warm, beautiful way to enjoy breakfast and start your day! I will miss this place every morning!

Gabrielle is the fine dining restaurant located in The Hotel Bennett on King Street in downtown Charleston. This was a last minute reservation for a party of 6 and the Maître D’ was exceptionally gracious in welcoming our group. The cocktails were innovative and refreshing. My husband and I ordered the Caesar Salad which is a favorite. The server offered to split it for us, which we appreciated. This was the perfect start to our dining experience. I ordered the Maine Scallops and my husband ordered the Swordfish along with a shared side of the puréed potatoes. Both entrees were prepared to perfection, although my bernaise arrived late and was a bit too thick for my taste. We also shared a bottle of the 2020 Duckhorn Merlot. Dessert was called Citrus and the fragrance was heavenly as it was served. Quite lovely and inventive.

All the service was great from entering the hotel to leaving. Athlia was pleasant and attentive keeping the coffee cups full and making sure if we needed anything. Christmas decorations were great. Make sure you see the gingerbread house, 320 pounds of gingerbread and 120 pounds of icing. It also smells delicious.

Dined at Gabrielle for an office holiday lunch and enjoyed the experience. The dining room is lovely, with comfortable chairs and high ceilings, but it doesn't feel stuffy at all. The staff were excellent, accommodating and friendly and professional. I ordered the blue crab croissant with fries, and it was okay. The fries were nice, though unseasoned, even lacking salt. The crab was surprisingly bland, and there was not even a hint of lemon from the lemon aioli. The croissant, apparently made in-house, was honestly nothing special. Maybe a little salt & pepper would have gone a long way, but there was none on the table. I left a little disappointed.

Visited Gabrielle for dinner tonight to celebrate my son's birthday. The dining room is beautifully decorated and inviting. This is where the good stuff ends. When making the reservation I asked for a bottle of champagne to be at the table when we arrived. No champagne. No mention of it. I decided to let it go and order drinks instead. They were out of bourbon . Okay, no big deal. The boys chose something else. I ordered tonic water and lemon which the server got wrong. She apologized and brought another, yet again it was wrong. I let it go. For the price of the food here, I expect it to be delicious and the service impeccable. Neither was true. The pork chop was undercooked, almost raw. The tuna was cooked well but had no taste. My son's filet Mignon was overcooked. The lobster Mac and cheese was the best part, it was delicious. The several servers we had were all nice. That's all I can really say about them. They were nice. I will not be back. Gabrielle's is all fluff and no substance. The fluff is certainly not worth the prices they charge.

The food was good; but I have had better. I had the scallops special with a side of spicy broccolini. It was little too spicy and over powered the broccolini. I think it was over priced for what we got. The environment; however, was gorgeous! Service was on point, which it better have been as we were the only ones there until half way through our meal.

Stopped into Gabrielle's for a drink. It's located inside of the beautiful Hotel Bennett and has great service, perfect for people watching and a decent drink menu. They give you some kind of deep fried pita chips which is a nice touch.

Great service. Very nice and professional staff. The food was great. The best food. The grouper was really good. The lamb chops were juicy. The risotto was tasty. The dessert was sweet. The restaurant was beautiful inside the hotel. Music from the lounge was nice it was live . Our server was great. The manager and hostess were too. We really enjoyed the food and service

Appetizer - PEAR SALAD - Great taste and wonderful portion. Nothing bad to say about the salad but it wasn't overwhelming great either. Nothing necessarily special. SHE CRAB SOUP - The soup was very good. This is what I will be getting every time in the future, great balance of flavors and not at all "fishy". 10/10 for the soup. Entree - Shrimp Burger - I have never had a shrimp burger to compare but i cant imagine a better one. The lemon aioli paired perfectly with the burger. This is a must have when you come here. Kings Club - Average sandwich to be honest . Nothing bad to say but nothing great once again. Definitely not bad by any means, but not special. Dessert - The macaroons came with an entremets in the middle, quite amazing the raspberry and lemon mixture was well balanced and provided a very light and delicious dessert. Service - 10/10 super polite, exchanged silver-wear and plates promptly and checked in often. We only gave it a three because of the following... - Choices were very limited... more of a clubhouse vibe with very great service and a top notch chef. - Fries were once again clubhouse level, no truffle or extra options. But I would like to say the service and preparation of the food that is available was a 5/5.

Service is excellent and friendly but not obsequious. Great cocktails and wine list. I had the foie gras terrine that was v good and generous portion. The main was tile fish. Disappointing as the fish was v dry. Stand out was the flourless chocolate cake that was rich and decadent. I would give it 3.5 because for fine dining, the main needs to be excellent. And v heartbreaking because app and dessert were outstanding.

Now that we can enjoy the incredible ambiance of the indoor dining space at Gabrielle and the Hotel Bennet I felt an update was in order. Elegant and refined space with the true ability to talk to one another (harder to find than it should be!). Great lighting and changing seasonal decor makes for wonderful photos as well. Service by JD and maitre d' was spot on. Never rushed or overly conversational. Great wine list (some amazing Pinot from Williamette Valley). High point of food choices were the crab cakes , truffle frites w lemon aioli, and risotto with shrimp added on. Chef trying a new bread service- I missed the baguette but everyone else asked for more of those corn muffins. If you have a special occasion to celebrate- I love this place. It will not be cheap. It will be memorable.

Three Stars for a lovely atmosphere and friendly waitstaff but they would've gotten five stars if everything did not take quite so long and had it been delivered hot. I would credit this to inattentive server as our drinks were hard to get refilled and with only three other tables, our food should've come out quickly and if not quickly, at least it should've come out hot. It really is a beautiful hotel and they have a wonderful facility for lunch but the menus limited, and after three visits for lunch it's likely you might run out of things that interest you to eat:-) My suggestion for you is TRAINING. No excuse for poor service, long wait and cold food. Pay attention here because this is the same thing that the other people reviewing your establishment have said for the past three years.

Food, service and ambiance were on point. Ambiance especially -- it's very calm inside this restaurant. We went to halls the night before which we love -- but it's very chaotic. This is the opposite. Quiet and lovely. For apps - We ordered the she crab soup which was delicious, the Cesar salad which was also delicious. For mains we ordered the shrimp and grits and the lobster pasta. Both were very tasty! I liked the shrimp and grits better, whereas my dining partner liked the Mac and cheese better (he really loved the Mac and cheese). We loved it here, and would definitely come back.

We ate breakfast here 3 days in a row because we were staying at the hotel. The service Eve staff is wonderful from Joel to Carlos, and Ximena. They were all so professional and knowledgeable. I was extremely happy with the breakfast menu from the avocado toast to the grits to them constantly refilling my coffee. Tie bagel and waffle my daughter loved. The hot chocolate with marshmallows was amazing. Overall, if you want a very nice sit down breakfast with excellent service I recommend this place.

Gabrielle is a beautiful restaurant. The food was good and the service was excellent. Will definitely be back to enjoy the great service, the ambiance and the food! However, prior to dining at Gabrielle's, my date and I decided to try Camellia's Champagne bar. First impressions were wonderful, because of the Chic and elegant furniture and bar- did I mention that the bar has more pink than a group of Flamingos? AKA a flamboyance. This bar was loaded with flamboyant style and exuberant vibe. Everything was amazing until I met our Bartender. The first thing that I asked for was a semi sweet glass of Champagne or sparkling wine for my date. She immediately said we have nothing like that, so I thought my date may want a blanc de blanc- usually made with Chardonnay grapes or a Prosecco. So I asked our bartender about the yellow label Veuve Clicquot and how much Pinot Noir was in the mixture of grapes in the Champagne? And she arrogantly informed me that Champagne doesn't have any red grapes in them. Only the Rose' did because they leave red grape skins in it for color. So I asked- does any of your Champagne's have Pinot Noir in it? She replied arrogantly, like she was talking to an idiot, Champagne Does Not Have Pinot Noir in it!!!! She thought I was an idiot and knew nothing about Champagne. Instead of telling her that I grew up working in French restaurants and was a Maitre d' of the best fine dining restaurant in the State when I was in my twenties and own 2 of my own fine dining restaurants. Instead, with a big smile on face, I said do you want to bet a Million dollars? She said yes, so I googled Vueve Clicquot yellow label I asked her about earlier. And the Yellow label Vueve Clicquot has 50% Pinot Noir grapes. I also told her that most traditional Champagnes have Pinot Noir in them. She immediately left in a huge huff, so I went to the restroom and when I came back, my favorite, arrogant, poorly trained Bartender had brought my date a partial flute of Perrier Jouet Brut.- I thought the bartender let her taste it, because this was the opposite of what she asked for. I tried to get her attention to correct this and I never saw her again. Someone else brought the check out to me. When I opened it I was floored- the Perrier Jouet was $75 dollars for a small glassful. I was pissed when I realized that she did this to be spiteful. She is a huge liability to the Hotel and should not be in the food service business. What she did to me was dishonest and rude! Thankfully our table at Gabrielle's was ready and I was able to forget that awful experience and enjoy my meal. If the Food and Beverage Director reads this I hope he takes appropriate action to the blonde menace at Camellia's. Part of this incident is due to lack of training on Champagne- and the other part is her terrible arrogance and deceitful nature. If she's ripping off the customers, you can be certain that she's doing it to the Hotel Bennett.

While in town, we stayed at the hotel Bennett. This is the restaurant within the hotel and this where we had breakfast every morning. It was tasty, but know there is a 20% fee for room service in addition to other random charges. I knew there would be some additional charges but wasn't expecting $20+ in fees when that's how much the food itself was. Now on to the food, the best things we had for breakfast were the avocado toast, which was a good portion! Next, the French toast that was cooked to perfection. Finally, the omelet had pretty good flavor to just be an everyday omelet. We would eat there again if staying in the hotel, but might not necessarily make a special trip to just the restaurant.

Upscale, fine dining restaurant located within Hotel Bennett. I live in Charleston and have dined here several times and the service and quality of food is always consistent. They offer both indoor & outdoor seating options . The dining terrace overlooks Marion Square and is the perfect spot to take in the sunset on a cool Summer evening. If you want to dine outside make sure you request this with your reservation. The hotel does not offer free parking but you may be able to catch an open meter along King Street. As of April 2021, meters are free after 6pm. The hotel does offer paid valet. As of April 2021 the valet rates are : $40 - Overnight Valet $12 - Day Rate (for guests enjoying the spa or dining) $18 - Event Rate (for guests attending a hotel function) Be sure to check out Hotel Bennett's rooftop bar Fiat Luxe as well as their champagne bar , Camellias before or after your dinner at Gabrielle's.

Gabrielle was disappointing. The dining area is not as nice as the lounge. It should have been a sign when the dining room was empty for a Sunday brunch. My $18 Cinn-Fully Delicious cocktail was just fine. It was nothing special, and I didn't care to order another. For lunch, I ordered the $24 blue crab croissant. It was advertised as "lump crab." There was zero lump crab; it was a bland crab salad that had no crab flavor whatsoever. The croissant was stale, which is ironic as I thought these were made in-house. The side Caesar salad was adequate. An hour later, my stomach was hurting. I wonder if the 'crab' was bad. Service was attentive. We asked for individual checks. For some reason, our server split our bill equally among the four in our party. We asked for her to please re-ring it so each of us paid for what we ordered. This took quite some time for her to redo the bill. I won't be back, and I can't recommend anything about this restaurant apart from its prime location and beautiful interior.

Food at lunch today was fine. Fried green tomatoes dish was very over fried, but other dishes were good. The best part was our waiter Carlos - efficient, funny, and very attentive. He is a gem!

First time last night at Gabrielle in The Bennett Hotel! Excellent ambience at Gabrielle, definitely set up for a romantic dinner with your SO! Hostess was extremely polite very friendly and interacted with everyone checking in for dinner service. I booked a reservation since it was Restaurant Week Downtown and aGabrielle was participating! We had the option to choose the Regular Menu or the Restaurant Week 3 Course Menu for $55 per person! We looked everything over even asked some questions about items on both menus our server was kind enough to ask the Chef and he was extremely accommodating! We ended up choosing the Restaurant Week 3 Course Menu. To pair with our upcoming courses we chose a bottle of 2021Rombauer Chardonnay subtle buttery finish outstanding! Now we were able to add on to start with we had Oysters Rockefeller which the Oysters were from Prince Edward Island and this preparation was outstanding!! We both started out with the Arugula Roasted Pears Oranges Parmesan Reggiano Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette. For the Entree we both chose the Swordfish Risotto which was phenomenal the Swordfish was seasoned and cooked perfectly and the Risotto was delicious!! Then for Dessert we both had the Chocolate Gelato perfect size the cap off a wonderful dinner!! Gabrielle was a phenomenal experience easy 5 Stars !!

Beautiful restaurant in a beautiful hotel. We stopped coming here because the food was below average but they changed chefs recently and the food is great, also good cocktail and wine selections.

For such a beautiful hotel, Gabrielle's is a huge disappointment. The She Crab Soup for $19 was very bland and barely a cup. The salad at $17 was extremely limp and the club sandwich was ridiculously overpriced at $26. To top it off, the service was terrible. The waitress paid us no attention, took plates away before others were finished, slow to bring the bill. Also had to ask for salt and pepper for the table. Never replenished the waters. There are too many other great restaurants to waste your time and money on such a poor quality restaurant

We had dinner here when on our first night at Hotel Bennett. At the end of a long travel day, I would have thought we would have loved anything and everything we were served. My gnocchi was tasty... yet drowning in sauce which made the butter flavor overwhelming. The Camellias signature dessert had great texture and taste... so at least there was a sweet ending to the meal. Service was phenomenal. That said, we were the only ones in the restaurant at the time, so we didn't have anyone competing for our server's time.

For breakfast this was fantastic. Arguably the best bagel and lox I have eaten. Worth a try.

After booking 2 months ago, was looking forward to having a wonderful lunch with a dear friend & our families... instead it took us over 2 hours to get our food & then it was just warm, not hot, and the server was overwhelmed with our group of 12... she received no help & when we asked for pickles 3x for a burger, she still forgot to bring them... it was an awful place to have a memorable luncheon! So very disappointed in booking this for a Saturday birthday luncheon for a dear friend... you MUST DO BETTER !!!!!!

I visited Gabrielle's twice in one week when I was in Charleston. The service is always exceptional. Our server was Jenna and she was attentive and recommended some dishes to us. I enjoyed the mussels very much. I wanted the oysters but they ran out. They also ran out of the Carolina Gold rice pudding. I got the Chai Tea Roulade cake and it was delicious. Not too sweet, which I like. My friend ordered the flourless truffle which she raved about for the next few days. My friend and I liked Gabrielle's so much we went back to enjoy the outside lounge and enjoy the nice South Carolina weather in the winter. Trudy was our server and she was fantastic and attentive. I ordered the Mirabella sparking rose which Trudy recommended. My friend and I also shared the flourless truffle with the grand marnier sauce. Remember she raved about the truffle dessert. I can see why she liked it. It was rich but light. I have had nothing but a great dining experience at Gabrielle's at the Bennett Hotel.

Food is outstanding! Loved the snapper! The wagu beef sliders were incredible. The corn muffins are easily the best in the city. Karla was our server and she is excellent! Chef Robert is amazingly talented. We will be regulars here.

Gabrielle is located in the Hotel Bennett next to Marion Square. The hotel has a large lobby with three areas for drinking and dining. The pink champagne bar is a fun spot for a fancy girls night. The adjourning area has music, a bar and a restaurant. The decor was bland. It felt like a hotel restaurant-no personality. The restaurant week menu had three courses for 45. We added a mussel appetizer as well. The highlight of the meal was definitely the pear and goat cheese salad. Both the duck and short ribs were a little dry and overcooked. The food were plated nicely and the flavor combos were good.

I am a lifelong resident of Charleston and not a tourist. Went for lunch the day after Christmas. Very slim choices on the menu. Shocked we were charged for refill of coffee - two people, two cups of coffee, $20. Food just ok, nothing to write home about. Pasta dish serving more like an appetizer. VERY disappointed. Love the high tea and the ambience though. Won't go back for any meal. If you want a delightful lunch, head down to the Palmetto Cafe at Charleston Place. Fabulous coffee served in lovely china cups and EXCELLENT service and food!

If you are looking for the glitz and glam of Charleston, this is it! I am an avid eater in Charleston, and Gabrielle is still one of the absolute best. The ambiance is top tier and unmatched, the food is amazing, and the desserts are just as great. It is evident that all of the foods and pastries are hand crafted, almost like artwork. You can tell the chefs truly take their time crafting each plate, and selecting the best ingredients. The staff by far makes the experience amazing as well. They are so professional, yet nice, and very welcoming. If you are looking for a place to REALLY impress yourself, and others, this is one of the best in Charleston. Gabrielle is housed within Hotel Bennett, which I could sing similar continued praises about as well! Each time I visit I feel as though I am walking into another world when I enter the building. Highly recommend!!

Dining area was a little underwhelming compared to thier nicer lounge area. We were disappointed that they were out of the flounder by 12:45, but everything we ordered from the lunch menu was delicious.

We went here with 16 people for a bachelorette. They sat us quickly which was nice but the drinks were so bad, and we had this blonde server who was SO rude. They accidentally charged us 2x for the drinks. The blonde service is awful. She lowkey was mean and abrasive. However every other person was sooooo kind. It's sad how one employee can ruin the whole experience. I think her name is Chelsea??? After spending $1000 here on drinks with my friends, for someone to carelessly say rude things is so sad. I would give all other employees 5 stars, but Chelsea (or whoever the blonde girl is) should not work in a customer facing role. Boo.

Good to very good food in a pleasant, upscale atmosphere thoroughly marred both times we ate here during our three night stay at the hotel. First attempt started off on the wrong foot by having to wait nearly 30 min past our reservation time to be seated for lunch/brunch even though the restaurant was nearly empty. Second attempt, for breakfast another morning featured a similarly torturous wait, only for us to discover when finally seated that basically one person was working the entire floor/restaurant and clearly couldn't keep up. (While that gentleman was certainly kind and trying his hardest, where was the "back up" for the server/waiter that had apparently called out due to an injury?) That said, the preparation of the various dishes both times was actually quite good indeed. Net, net: operations/service need some serious tweaking in order to enhance, not detract from Hotel Bennett's intended standing in the hotel world.

We stopped here because we were looking for a place to eat. They had availability in the lounge area, so we ended up eating on the patio, which was beautiful and large. Our waitress was Addison and she was very pleasant and attentive. We had the 7 oz steak, side of broccolini, and chicken sandwich with a side of fries. We also ordered drinks. Everything was good and the hotel was beautiful. Definitely recommend.

Its ok, had breakfast included in our hotel stay. Just wanted to say our $20 worth of smoothies were only half full while others had very full glasses. Pretty disappointing and was told some lame excuse. Also looks like someone tried a sip before it got here

Not sure the low reviews, we had an incredible time and there were so many COVI-19 protections. I'f you sit outside on a Saturday night they have live music. We were treated to delicious food, acoustic music, and a magical sunset. We will be back.

Went during restaurant week (2 courses for $25) Bit of a hidden gem inside the Hotel Bennett. Great atmosphere and dining area. Our server was Suliman -- A++. He checked all the boxes and was friendly and efficient. Can't wait to come back for regular menu.

Girls lunch success!! Really awesome experience here during a girls afternoon. Staff is amazing and really work to make you feel special and your experience perfect. I really enjoyed the she crab soup and if I had the Ceasar salad again I would ask for a little less cheese. Very beautiful and comfortable dining room with a variety of table sizes. Overall would definitely recommend and would go again!

This place is simply gorgeous. What a lovely restaurant. Best ambience in Charleston.

As gorgeous the hotel itself is, that is as bad is the service at the restaurant. While I understand the country is dealing with understaffing, our group of 5 had the following issues: -while being listed as one of the top brunch locations in Charleston, breakfast was not available, only lunch -one persons lunch (salad) came out 20 minutes before everyone else's meals. -Of the other meals, my Eggs Bennett were ice cold, and while the steak was cooked as asked, it also was cold. -chicken breast sandwich was greasy as anything and the white meat it stated was dark meat -during our long wait, we had to flag down waiter to get more champagne for mimosas. If food is delayed, you need to keep drinks rolling. I had really high expectations for a great high-end brunch and the service was seriously disappointed on food and service. 0 stars

The food is exquisite and the specialty cocktails delightful, with a bit of humor in the naming. This is my fourth time back and I must say each meal has been unique and fabulous. I've had the flounder, the duck and dumplings, a risotto dish, and tonight oh my! the gnocchi. Each dish has an array of interesting components, a work of art. I love the quiet elegant atmosphere in both the lounge and main dining area. Excellent service! Come at lunch time too for the same delicious menus.

A HUGELY disappointing experience in admittedly beautiful surroundings. We were in Charleston on a bachelorette-and-birthday trip, and the service at this restaurant ruined our one night out. Our bride/birthday girl was visibly upset and no meaningful actions were taken by the restaurant to improve the evening they ruined. We were a group of eight with 8:00pm reservations on a Saturday night. The restaurant was busy but far from full, and we were seated immediately when we arrived at 7:50. That was the highlight of our time at Gabrielle's. 9:45 comes, and we've still not been served dinner. We've also only been offered one refill of drinks, no refills of water at all, and one basket of bread. All inquiries about our meals are answered with "soon" or "a bit longer." At that point, one of us (me) goes to find a manager, and is left waiting at the host stand for ten minutes. Just about 10:00, the food and manager finally appear. One dish is burnt to the point of being inedible and all other meals are lukewarm at best. I ended up having to pull the manager to the side, to stop her from talking to the whole group and further delaying everyone's dinner. She apologized and offered to "make it better" with a second drink for the bride and a dessert for her birthday. Which would have been great, except the dessert NEVER came. We weren't even offered to order dessert. We were presented the bill, with no discounts, no comped meals or drinks, and not even an apology from the server. And we didn't see anyone again. The bride was very excited about our second destination for the evening, another part of the plan she didn't get to enjoy thanks to their poor service: our mediocre dinner had taken so much time that the next place had closed before we were able to get in. I can't, and won't recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Great place for dinner. Great location near Calhoun. I look forward to my next visit. The wine list is excellent. The entree options are great.

High Priced. Poor performance. Kitchen can't time a meal. Sides came out after the main dishes. Appetizers did not come out together. Waitress inattentive. Did not ask how meal was. Food quality was ok but did not live up to the value. Not worth the money.

Went here for brunch. Hotel was decorated beautifully for the holidays. Got the eggs "bennett". It was pretty good. Meat was seasoned well, my eggs were a little undercooked. Overall not bad at all! Our server Natalie was really great and friendly. Food also came super fast.

I had banana pancakes with bacon and coffee. This is truly an upscale eatery with the five star service to go with it. The pancakes were very good tasting and not badly priced for breakfast here but what's not priced on the menu but you can still get it a la cart is bacon and highly priced or rather overpriced I think with that being said it's a real nice place to eat breakfast

Service was amazing! The filet was mouth watering! The Caesar salad is so fresh and tasty! The ambiance is so beautiful and don't forget to stop into the Champagne lounge for a beverage!

Very impressed with the food, service and beautiful decor! First class all the way. I heard mixed reviews but decided to have dinner anyway. Great move on our part. Truly a fine dinning experience from start to finish. Great cocktails and impressive assortment of quality wine. Can't wait to return!

Had a grazing dinner of starters in the lounge and it was perfect. Waitress was very attentive and the food and drinks were superb!

Gabrielle is wonderful. The food and service was so good, we decided to have our wedding at the Bennett!

We had club sandwiches and the Fred chicken sandwich. They were filling and good but not special. What was excellent were the mussels and cocktails. Great ambiance and a perfect place to have lunch after seeing the outstanding Piccolo Spoleto art in the park.

DO NOT EAT HERE. We went for our anniversary dinner in Nov, and for such an upscale hotel, the restaurant was awful. Extremely overpriced, terrible service and the food was disappointing. They wouldn't even let us split a salad. Much better high end restaurants in Charleston to go to.
