"This was our first time at the Swamp Fox and we have discovered a gem of a restaurant in downtown Charleston. Great food, wonderful setting with views of Marion Square, and outstanding service. We already have sent emails to friends and family encouraging them to visit the Fox."

"Of the four meals that were served at our table, not one was good. Pasta was stuck together and glue like, carrots with the rabbit were hard and did not go along with the dish that was prepared like a stew, crab cakes were soggy and chicken pot pie was not very good and contained heavy sauce. Overall, not a good find!"
