Breakfasts were very good and reasonably healthy with regular options and daily specials. Three course dinner for $42 is a great value if you stay at the Inn. The food is varied and includes unusual entrees (e.g. antelope). Some unique deserts as well (e.g. key lime pie). Service staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. A nice place for special occasions.

My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at this wonderful restaurant. From being greeted by name by the hostess as we entered to the impeccable service provided by Christian gained many brownie points from my bride. The food was flavorful, the ambience divine and what was best was the attention to our special occasion in the form of... More

Great atmosphere and a wonderful meal. We had the 3 course meal that is quite reasonably priced for guests at tge J. Rutledge Inn. Antelope and lamb chops for the entrees and both were excellent. Salads fresh and appropriately sized. Key lime pie not as good as the traditional recipe, but still good. The only negative is restaurant while in... More

Starting with a spicy carrot soup as amuse bouche I thought: There´s room for improvement. The hard brioche with the absolutely non fitting limebutter made us rethink the decision for this restaurant.

Gorgeous carriage house serving the tastiest southern grub around! A truly special occasion place. The servers are extremely helpful and will help you navigate the wine menu as well as the menu to put together a memorable meal. The bread pudding with cheddar ice cream is a dream come true! Call ahead as it books up.

Booked a table for outdoor dining at Circa 1886 and we had a fantastic dining experience. The food was excellent, from appetizers, main course to dessert. We ordered the 62.5' farm egg and broccoli pate as our appetizers and they are fantastic, especially the farm egg! The main course we had was arctic char and the dessert we had was... More

When my two sisters and I took our mom to Charleston to celebrate her 90th birthday we chose this restaurant to celebrate. We all had special birthdays this year and decided to really go all out. Took a rickshaw to the restaurant then were met by a darling hostess who took us to a quiet table just reserved for us.... More

Great service, great food! Each in our party of four had a different starter and entree. Each was well presented and prepared. Plating was excellent and combination of flavors were great. A place to take someone you love!

True to other positive reviews, our evening at Circa was a delight. In many respects it is a throwback to how things used to be in many restaurants. The decor, table spacing and attention to detail in both food and service made for a memorable dining experience. Our waiter was both attentive and knowledgeable. Another nice feature was that other... More
