"I went to Mosaic, for the first time, on Mother's Day and enjoyed brunch with a friend. I had heard good things and they were all true! The menu had so many great choices, it was difficult to decide. When I requested salsa for my omlet, the waiter came back with a little bowl of pico de gallo - the chef had made it, fresh, just for me! Everything we had was delicious. Our waiter was perfect. The prices were right. We really picked a winner! I'll definitely be returning to Mosaic!"

"Their emphesis on local, sustainable, organic food is impressive but creativity, presentation and taste are what we appreciated most at Mosaic. We tried several dishes from their light menu and each was dightful. The atmosphere is trendy and welcoming, not pretentious or stuffy. The homemade, unique desserts were a big hit with our group too. A couple at the next table recommended brunch and after our incredible dinner experience, we agree that brunch at Mosaic is going to be a "must" for us. This place is really fabulous!"

"We've been many times to Mosaic, 25 minutes from our home in downtown Chas.; worth the drive. This is the first time we used Open table to reserve. Our friends arrived first and were seated; no one greeted us so we just joined them and never found out whether reservation was honored when our friends arrived.
The weekend brunch food was great all around. The waitress--a very young woman--was totally ditzy. Took 30 minutes to bring our friend's tea; 20 minutes to refill my coffee which I had to ask twice. Cofee lukewarm. Was very pleasant but totally spaced out. If the manager wants to figure out who it was, we were there Sat. April 20, 1:15 pm, table for four--if you walk straight 10'as you enter restaurant, we were 1st table on your lef"

"Absolutely outstanding meal and service. One of our favorites during our stay in the Charleston area. We wish we had something similar at home. So nice to choose a very flavorful meal, and having it be healthful at the same time. Cocktails were fantastic, and they were very accommodating to the young children in our party."

"Great little place. Chose it for Easter brunch. Might have been a mistake. We were seated by the rest rooms and were constantly bothered by people in line. Food choices were delish! Service was good, but not notable. Again, probably due to the Easter crowd."

"My husband and I went to Mosaic for our 1 year wedding anniversary. We chose it because it is also the restaurant where we got engaged, and they catered our wedding. The food and service were both wonderful as always, and the staff treated us very well when we told them our story. Mosaic has a special place in our hearts and we will continue to go there for both date nights and high quality lunches!"

"This was our 8th or 9th time dining @ Mosaic and it never disappoints. The food is uniquely different with many options for the health conscious. I love their unpretentious friendly manner and the service is always excellent. It's hard to get excited about salmon but their crispy version is superb.
The food, service and resonable prices make it a go to favorite of ours."

"We came for lunch, as I normally do about once/week.The signature pasta is fabulous but I had a salad and tea.The tea here is a big reason I continue to come back as well as the fresh and imaginative menu items. Our server was, as usual, attentive and friendly without being intrusive (thanks, Taryn!). It was pretty busy when I arrived which may account for what I perceived to be curtness from the host on duty."

"Small plates of food are well prepared, seasoned to perfection, varied and unusual. Kitchen noise (orders being yelled out) can be a little intrusive; but the servers are attentive and the orders delivered in good and timely sequence. A very brief wine list (of which the Vinho Verde wasn't available on our night) and no after dinner Port or Brandy was surprising and somewhat disappointing. Very good value for money; easy parking; great service all make this a good food destination. If they beefed up their bar it would be worth a weekly visit."

"We were very pleased with our experience here. I'd never used Open Table before so asked them about the 100 points and no one knew---so I still don't know. We look forward to going back--it's a wonderful little neighborhood place. We met friends from out of town and were able to visit and catch up without ever feeling rushed. Their coffee is better than Starbucks!"
