   Spent almost $700 at the bar and had a manager or owner treat my friend rudely.

   Wonderful all around experience! Beautiful large room, background music was nice and in background, server and sommelier were outstanding, food portions were large and delicious - we have a home in SC and so know Lowcountry cuisine, this was the real deal and very well done. Even when there was a goof on one of the entrees, server handled it perfectly and kitchen rapidly produced the replacement.

   The space is beautiful. The service was very attentive and quick to offer suggestions from the vast beer list. We ordered a majority of the menu, and the food was wonderful. Unfortunately, the Frogmore stew was missing a component, but the staff was quick to fire the missing piece, and offer us a credit for a portion of the meal. I will certainly be back.

   Sides came out 10-15 minutes after mains. And the food was just average overall…a disappointing experience.

    We made a reservation on open table and mentioned that the dinner was a special occasion. Our party of four arrived together and on time for an 8pm reservation. We were led to a table outside the dining room and seated next to a large, very brightly lit beer and wine fridge. The type you see in pizzerias and delis. The view from my seat was a cinder block wall stairwell. About 10 minutes later, the waiter took our drink order, and when the drinks were served, we asked if there was a table available in the dining room. The waiter said they were "very busy" and there probably just weren't any seats in the dining room for "walk ins". We told him that we had a reservation, and then he said he'd check with the manager. A few minutes later he returned and told us that they had a table for us in the dining room. As we were led across the entire dining room we passed two empty four tops before we reached our table just outside what appeared to be the only bathroom in the restaurant. There was a continuous flow of people walking in and out spilling light and sound from the bathroom into the dining room during our entire meal. The final "are you kidding me right now moment" was when the hostess interrupted our meal to inform us that we needed to check our coats because they were in the way of people passing our table on the way to the bathroom! Everyone enjoyed most of their food and cocktails. The "best of philly" crab fondue was cold, and the shrimp and grits were gluey with an overpowering andouille sausage flavor. We never take out our frustration with the management or disappointment with the kitchen on the wait staff and tipped generously as we always do. We spent over $350 on our evening at Rex. I usually don't write reviews of restaurants just because I didn't enjoy my food, but management's lack of concern or apology about our experience was so insulting that I must. Would not recommend Rex at the Royal for any occasion.

    Great food, great wait staff. Had to wait for our table to be vacated. Could not believe the $1 charge for ice for a cocktail. Have never seen this before on a bill. What's next, charging for water?

    A lux new restaurant with food that is a bit unusual in a good way. Everything we ordered was delicious. Portions ample and although not cheap, not outrageous. Manager comped us for dessert because we had to wait too long for it. Nice gesture. Will be back. A youthful vibe. Might want to turn down the music. And provide a little more light to see the detailed menu. But definitely recommend.

    Great experience! Great bartender while we waited for our party to all come. Who had all types of suggestions. Awesome attentive server. We had fried okra app, shrimp and grits, chicken and dumplings and pork Shank. Everyone enjoyed their entree. There was a jazz trio playing too! Definitely would go again!

    Our reservation was seated in an auxiliary space upstairs that had none of the ambience of the main dining room. The host said we could not sit in the main room and we had to sit upstairs. We were seated next to one other party…the food and drink were good but overpriced especially since we could not enjoy the feel of the restaurant. This space should not be used for guests with reservations…not if you aren’t offering anything in exchange. Friendly server, this was clearly a failure on management’s part.

    The shrimp and grits was really exceptional. The Andouille sausage can sometimes push the dish into too spicy territory but this was perfectly balanced.

    This spot is a definite visit especially Tuesdays with a live band and Fridays a DJ. I had the frogmore stew which is very much like a New England seafood boil. Shrimp,fingerling potatoes,cobs of corn,mussels and nice pieces of fluke flounder and andouille sausage. Delish! Chocolate cake with authentic vanilla butter cream frosting. Yum! Coffee was good and cocktails have many flavors for the palate.

    Super nice spot - the grits, brisket, and Caesar salad was amazing. Only issue was kitchen took a long time…but communication from our waiter was top notch. He checked in and kept us updated once he knew our order was delayed. Things happen…he communicated well.

    Overall a 4/5 stars, service was great and ambiance was great. A bit of a mixup with the kitchen because our main dishes came out before the appetizers but the server did his best to address the issue. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice and overall the food was good. Would high recommend the crab fondue, crawfish pot pie, and the biscuits were amazing. Other notable mentions would be the brisket and the burger was good.
