Artisan Restaurant — Restaurant in South Carolina

For a hotel restaurant, Giatu was pretty impressive. We had dinner on BMW as part of the performance center delivery of our new car. Wine was a tad on the expensive side for a hotel, but glasses of the house were moderate and pretty excellent. Beer selection was ok, but nothing exceptional. The food was excellent though. Both salads were very good, particularly the one with bacon, duck cracklings, and a fried egg, which was a meal on it's own. The oxtail ravioli was also exceptional, though a bit heavy in the creamy sauce, particularly after the huge salad. The pork chop was immense and very well cooked and on the bone which I appreciate.

Next day I figured I would give them one last shot as a to go order and same scenario, took well over 37 minutes to get my food and it wasn’t even cooked right, ended up throwing it away. Will never...

I chose the restaurant due to the ratings as well as the menu options. My so is vegetarian and it's hard to find unique vegetarian dishes, so when we saw jackfruit dishes offered on the website menu, we were ecstatic. Upon arrival, they had absolutely no idea about the reservation we had booked online, and come to find out, the menu had changed ages ago and was no longer vegetarian friendly. Fortunately we had a backup plan, but the entire experience was disappointing with...
