I was visiting from Virginia where there are no Carolina Ale House restaurants. When I entered I was greeted by a warm and friendly hostess. Everyone at this location was smiling and was very eager to help. The outside seating has a fantastic view of the city. It was hard to choose from the many selections on the menu. The food came out in a timely manner and was very good. The assistant GM was on the floor overseeing the operation to ensure all patrons were being taken care of. For good food and service, at reasonable prices, Carolina Ale House is clearly the best selection.
