Would give the food and service a 4.5 if I could. Would be nice to just be able to order some wines by the glass versus having to jump up to serve ourselves from time to time. Crab cakes were wonderful but needed more more aioli. Portions were good. Salads and mussels were great. We enjoyed that we were not rushed.

Absolutely one of the best places to visit while here in Kiawah. Everything is amazing. From the selection of wines to the amazing food. They have a variety of cocktails as well. Wines are all price points and it’s cool to try something you wouldn’t ever dare to buy a bottle of. The staff are all very friendly and the atmosphere is nice.

Amazing wine experience here. Server was wonderful. Food selection was limited, but what they had was quite good. But the star of the show here is the wine selection, which was quite impressive. Can’t wait to go back.

The waitstaff here is just amazing! We had a reservation for dinner and had arrived early. We were seated immediately. We ordered a one meat and cheese charcuterie for an appetizer, which was delicious. My husband had steak and fries. The steak was tender and flavorful. I had shrimp and grits. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, and the grits were seasoned just right. We will definitely go back!

What a wonderful meal we just had, in a lovely ambiance with an excellent waiter. This restaurant is in Fresh Fields village and is very charming. We sat outside with heat lamps and it felt so good! Our waiter was kind and knowledgeable and we really enjoyed talking to him. Food was fantastic. The filet mignon with garlic roasted potatoes and brussel sprouts in a light sherry cream sauce was delicious and perfectly cooked. The crabcakes were really great lump crabmeat with almost no breading. They had some old bay seasoning in them which detracted from the freshness and sweetness of their flavor, but they were still good. The succotash that accompanied them was fresh and tasty. Pasta and ceasar salad were good. The sparkling rose wine was exactly right, and they have a huge selection of wines, with a good selection of beer as well. The homemade vanilla ice cream was from a different era where you can literally taste the fresh ingredients and the truffles with Madagascar vanilla, Grand Marnier, Kentucky bourbon and Kalhua were refined and totally delectable. Very very worth dining here. Mostly for adults, but they were great with kids too.

Beware that the patio is not protected from rain at all. We had a dinner reservation but a quick rainstorm that was over before our reservation began caused them to tell us we could not be seated until 2 hours later without so much as an apology or other attempt at accommodating us. They didn’t even let us know until after we arrived. They have a reservation cancellation fee for customers but I guess it doesn’t apply to them.

This place was an absolute savior for us on a Monday night business dinner! We were looking for somewhere to take clients to a nice dinner and most of the restaurants on the island are closed on Mondays. 48 Wine Bar and Kitchen did an awesome job. I liked how in their private dining room the table was square instead of rectangular so each of our 11 guests could all see each other.

Great place to enjoy some wine and grab a bite to eat. We came here for lunch and ended up sitting at the bar which was situated in the middle of the room. We ordered some food, the chicken caesar sandwich was really good, and proceeded to the wine pour machines for some tastings. You can either pour a tasting, half glass or full glass with the prices for each shown above the bottle. Such a great tasting concept and they featured a lot of really good wines. We also walked around the section where you can purchase wine and they had a really solid selection of wines to choose from…and a very impressive Pinot selection! Great spot for a casual lunch or dinner with a great spin on sipping wine!!
