Stop by to see Misty. She serves good food, great drinks and all with a great personality and effort to make your visit good.

Only reason I'll give this 2 stars instead of 1 is for the server... He tried and for the most part helped out but was very slow overall... DO NOT EAT HERE!!! That's what I'll suggest after tonight's 9 2021 visit.... We tried to order 2 drinks right off the bartenders menu behind the bar, didn't have either and tried to upsale both, when both had priced next to them... Then the food, we had 4 of us dine and the only dish over hallway eaten was from my 5 year old.... Again, DON'T EAT HERE...ohh yes my margarita was horrible and that picture below was how it came without a drink taken and they wanted to charge almost $20 for that, melon margarita, which I didn't order

After long drive to get to Charleston, a receptionist at a nearby hotel recommended this place. It’s in the lobby of the Holiday Inn and all I could think of was the lyrics of Jimmy Buffets song “warm beer and bread …can raise the dead…reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn….” HOWEVER THIS PLACE WAS GREAT. Excellent service, friendly welcoming attentive staff, and food was very good. Would definitely eat here again. A hidden gem for dinner and drinks.

Staying overnight at the hotel and arriving late, we were hungry. This is a great place to just relax from a long day of driving. The server was good and the bartender made good specialty drinks. Felt sorry for the parrot in the cage! Bad location!!

My wife and 2 children, ages 1 and 3 stayed at the hotel where this restaurant is located. The hotel was amazing and the staff were extremely friendly so we didn’t expect anything less from staff at the restaurant. We were very wrong. We walked into the restaurant 10 minutes early and the server said “ I’m not open yet” in a very rude tone. My wife asked if it was ok if we just sat down anyway. The restaurant opened at 5:00 pm. At 5:05. She came and took our order. She was not very friendly at all. Kids had pizza and chicken breast. My wife had tuscan chicken and I had rib eye steak. We also ordered 2 alcoholic beverages. After 40 minutes of waiting and not having our table checked on and being offered another drink, our food came. I ordered my steak medium rare, it was blue rare. Maybe on the grill for 2 minutes a side as i have cooked thousands of steaks working in the restaurant business myself. Chicken was cold for both plates ( which was pre cooked breasts to start with. Pizza was absolute slop. I brought my steak up to the bar and said this is ridiculous. 40 minutes of waiting and feeling disrespected and they cant even cook the food properly. I left my plate at the bar and went to feed my children. Server cane up to table 3 mins later and said “ i don’t know what you want me to do” in the rudest tone. My wife said we’re not paying for this. She said i wont charge you for any of it but the drinks and then took my wifes food from her. This server should not have a job serving if she doesn’t know how to resolve that situation. Needless to say my wife and I went to bed hungry. Would not recommend to anyone ever

In a hotel close to ours but walking distance. The seats were good to watch the world series and football on the several large TVs. Service and food were very good and perfect for the traveling couple.

Sunday evening in WV means that many restaurants are closed. Mosa’s, inside the Holiday Inn, is next door to the hotel I was staying in so I wandered over. Nice atmosphere located left of the busy lobby. Three large tvs are great for sports fans. Many seats at the bar. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. My dirty gin martini came with three olives and was quite satisfying! The grilled shrimp tacos, however, were not. First, the pros: it was nice of the cook to cut up the shrimp as they usually come whole. The tacos came with tortilla chips and some of them were made from blue corn. Cons: The shrimp was lukewarm and seemed entirely unseasoned. Pico de Gallo consisted of some suggestions of tomato. A few bits of shredded lettuce sat atop what seemed like plain mayonnaise. I choked them down because they cost $14. Other reviews had a better food experience, so perhaps just avoid the shrimp tacos.

Stayed at Holiday Inn in South Charleston in early January on the way to Florida. At at the bar/restaurant for dinner and breakfast the next day. Had fish tacos that were very good. Like the bar atmosphere. Bartender and wait staff are very friendly and provided quick service.

We got into the hotel at 8pm and needed dinner. A thunderstorm took out power around the hotel so options to dine were limited. We ordered two 12” pizzas for pickup in the restaurant. Topping choices are limited to pepperoni and sausage, apparently. We got one of each. The crust was tasty. Sauce was also good. Overall, a surprisingly good couple of pizzas. The cook was solos so the wait was just a little longer but not terrible.
