Very nice place right by the old market area. An old church turned into an upscale (but not overly fancy) place for a nice night out.  The bar area is fun (a bit loud, but not bad) and an excellent groups of bartenders.  The dinner menu is small but full of high quality items.  The steaks (and the sauce!) are very good.  The ravioli  was very good.  The pasta cooked perfectly. Maybe a little too much cheese on the inside.  Sauce was a tad sweet.  But very good.  Service was excellent.  Our waiter (“Sam”) was very pleasant and on point with drinks and quick attention to detail.  Overall, a great restaurant for an upper casual night out in Charleston.

Such a beautiful historic venue with unique modern details. Sam was our server, and he did amazing! I have a gluten allergy, and he made substitution suggestions without me even asking for them. The pricing is amazing for brunch as well. Absolutely make a reservation to ensure you can enjoy this Charleston gem.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere! The Art of War was written on the ceiling and the bill was delivered in the pages of a copy of the book. Within the pages, previous patrons left quotes, important dates, inspirational notes, drawings etc. The Moroccan meatballs were delectable, entrees we had the ravioli, the mahi-mahi, the salmon, and the fried chicken. All of them were delicious and highly recommended.

Very unique restaurant location and atmosphere, however it did not live up to the hype for me. The grits were great, but I found the menu to be rather small. Service also seemed rushed and inattentive. The interior of the restaurant was absolutely breathtaking, however.

really excellent dinner experience at this restaurant. they pack people in tightly, but the food was really exceptional.  we received prompt and courteous service, as well as some interesting cocktail combinations. we would go back for the lobster risotto again!

we also tried Sunday brunch on another occasion recently. though the dinner menu was much better. all in all though we would recommend Church and Union!
