This place is amazing! I've never had a bad meal and the service is exceptional. Have to get the sweet potato fries! They are addicting... Seriously anything you eat is fantastic and you'll want to go back to try everything else. ...The food was excellent. The service was just right. The atmosphere was just what we wanted. I'm sure we will be back. I highly recommend this restaurant. Wonderful quaint restaurant. Service is always friendly and courteous. Food is great and always different from the norm which is what makes this place special. Highly recommend What an awesome find and wonderful to stop at on the way back from the Boone Hall Plantation. You can buy a great bottle of wine to go with your excellent food. Great selection and very healthy! If you haven't tried Laura Alberts on Daniel Island, you are missing out. My favorite dish is The Crab Cake entree. It is served with one crab cake and one grit cake along with collards. I also love the Mahi Mahi here...Read More
