Uncork Charleston — Restaurant in Charleston

04/30/2023: I lead with the date because I am horrible with names. I will start with our server, Angel. Personality hit us first, we were treated with so much respect! I have a tough time choosing a meal with a menu with multiple choices I like and/or have not experienced. I put the burden on my server at this point I have them order me their favorite and don’t tell me what it is. She did not hesitate and brought me the brisket dish, which was AWESOME!!! My wife, much harder to please, ordered the tortellini dish that she loved! Our experience however went beyond that. We ended up being there until closing, enjoying the acoustic performer & the ambiance your staff creates. I noticed the all female staff and asked Angel about it. She glowingly explained the makeup of your staff, my wife and I were very impressed by Angels demeanor, though I questioned whether the staff of all women actually got along as well as she stated. UnFortunately for my wallets liking, we stayed way too long. We didn’t want to leave the atmosphere we were in, fortunately for us it was a rainy night so I believe it wasn’t as busy. Because of this my wife and I had the opportunity to interact several of your staff. As I stated I am terrible with names. Most of our interaction was with Angel, we got to know a little about her. You have a real winner with that one, she’s represented your establishment very well. There were about 5 others we spoke with that I wish I could remember their names, they all represented your business well! The only other name I remember was Sarah, manager I believe, I can’t tell you how impressed we are! I am hooked on your Old fashion. We are simple folk that work way to hard to spend the kind of money we did that night but it’s probably the best time we had. Because of your staff we are already looking forward to our next trip to Charleston. This will be our go to spot! Food and drinks were great. Please don’t take for granted the staff you have, especially Angel, they definitely spoke well of they establishment they work for and of their fellow coworkers. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen...

We were looking for a wine bar to spend a bit of time at and have a drink or two. When we went in they mentioned the fact that they closed at 9 pm, which is not what google nor their website advertised. That was fine we still had 30 minutes there. Then they said their wine was served by their machines. ?? We weren't interested in being served by a machine/ self serve as we could buy a bottle of wine and do that ourselves. I asked if it was possible to be served by a human and they said that was available at the bar in the rear. Good, or so I though. We go to the rear bar and were once again we were reminded that they were closing at 9, which was still ok. I asked if it was still possible to order a glass of wine and they said it was. They then ask for a credit card. At that point I had not even seen a wine list or anything of the sort. No wine list, no drink list, just get the credit card first. I did not provide a card and asked to see a wine list. I was then told that I could see a list, but it was still self serve. What is the point then? Why go to a wine bar, expecting to be served by a person that might know something about the wine that they are serving but then being told it is all self serve. I can do self serve at a grocery store; buy a bottle, then serve it myself. I do not need to pay extra for that. And asking for a credit card before I even see a wine list is just unprofessional. We took our business to another nearby wine bar, one which you were served by an...

When I saw people pouring their own wine from a refrigerated wall…I knew this was going to be the place for me!! I’ve lived in town for less than a year and I continue to be surprised by the ingenuity of places like this. I decided to try the wine wall on another visit. But that didn’t stop me from ordering THREE pear martinis. Never had anything like it. Refreshing AND potent! LOL. Now let’s get to the food. You can judge a restaurants food by their salad. I promise you. I had the cucumber salad topped with short ribs. That doesn’t even sound right but when I tell you..everything about it was right. The short ribs!!! OMG I’m making my mouth water just writing about them. And since the salad was amazing I decided to go overboard and try the 4 assortment charcuterie board. LAWD!! The truffle salami…🤤 What I loved most about the board was what comes with the assortment. The bread is made just for them. The basil infused oil! The best I’ve ever had. I’ve never done this before but I took a to go container home for charcuterie. But it really wasn’t much left to take in it. LOL. Trust me. The board was mammoth!! But I can eat!!! Now on to the staff. Sooooo friendly and fun. I’m goin back. That wine wall is...
