10. Hearth Wood Fired Pizza
Overall Ratings
4 based on 169 reviews
Inventive Eclectic wood-fired pizza served along with hearty Italian dishes, craft beers & wine in a sleek historic setting.
Reviewed By scotsirishtraveler
This place was lovely in all aspects - flooring, furniture, walls, oven, and art. The pizza was good too. Beer selection was limited and there were no local beers on the list (even though the Beaufort area has some great breweries). White wine selection and prices were reasonable. Red wines were over-priced. The service was "okay."I was on crutches and slipped on the way to the table because of rain water on the floor near the doorway. The host noticed but was unconcerned and gave no help in getting seated and finding a place for my crutches. The waitress was likewise indifferent. No southern pleasantries or common courtesies by anyone we encountered. They seemed to be just escorting bodies through without treating them like people. My final comment is on the menu. Every pizza with protein (with the exception of possibly one) had pork. One of the people in my party was Jewish, so that limited the pizza selection to 2 choices: margarita or mushroom. If you are a kosher-observing Jew, I suggest reviewing the menu before going.

While we were waiting for my nephew's graduation on the island, we decided to stop here for dinner. It was good! The burgers were all a bit overcooked, but delicious. The list of toppings and such was unmatched as far as anything I've seen before. Their suggestions were great too. I only wish we had room for a milkshake because those looked awesome! Our server Josh was really great too. Nice personality, easy to talk to, and fairly knowledgeable for only being there a short time.If I find myself in S. Carolina again, I'll be back.

First off, we were greeted with a smile and some humor and immediately felt welcome! Julie was our bartender/server and she was all the things youâre looking for. Knowledgeable and funny and her recommendations were spot on. Conversation was light, funny and timed right food came out hot, and very fast. Beer is ice cold! Portions were huge and you wonât leave hungry! Would highly recommend to anyone with a mouth! Food was awesome!

I had read many good reviews so we decided to check this place out for lunch while in town. We probably waited about 15 minutes for a seat, then 35ish minutes for our food. We had a party of 7. The area was pretty and the inside was appealing to the eye, but we did not feel the food was anything special. Our party had a mix of salads, burgers, shrimp & grits, crab cakes and flounder. The server was attentive to refilling our water and seemed friendly enough. We will not be going back.Sandee, I appreciate your feedback on your experience with us. However, I am quite shocked as we get many compliments on all of our breakfast and lunch items. If something was not as it should have been with your order we would have gladly fixed it right away. As for your waiting time, 15 minutes to be seated and 30 minutes for food for a party of 7 in a restaurant that serves Brunch is pretty average. Happy you enjoyed your service and our town!

We both had fish. It was well cooked and presented. Nice restaurant. The only downside was the sudden arrival of an overly noisy bunch of loud mouthed, boorish, obnoxious middle aged American men. Probably on some kind of golf trip but what a rabble. May as well have been in a Taco Bell at that point.

We popped in for breakfast and at 8am on the dot a ships bell was rung at the bar. The entire complement of staff and customers rose from their seats and recited the oath of allegiance. I doubt weâll forget that one in a hurry.

Our friends and us tried this restaurant for dinner. It was very good and evidently we were lucky to get in there. The drinks were very good. The calamari appetizer was tender and crisp. My wife had the scallop entree and I had the Catch of the Day which was Trigger Fish. It was excellent. I will say this though if you are hungry do not get the scallops (you get 2 or 4), there is not enough.

This is such a delicious restaurant, with great atmosphere, and even greater service. We had the crab cakes, fried shrimp, pasta, and fried oysters, and of course hush puppies. We eat seafood all the time since we are from Charleston SC, and everyone in our group agreed that this restaurant has some of the best seafood we have ever had. Our server was excellent. Prices are very reasonable. Can't wait to go back!!

We live in Beaufort and give Wren a try every couple of years hoping they will get it together, but I just don't think it will ever happen. It's like a restaurant in the Atlanta airport - it stays in business because of people passing through (tourists). It they had to depend on locals, it would have closed years ago. Today's twisted caesar salad had cabbage in it - now that's quite a twist, and I have a hard time understanding how anyone could think cabbage belongs in a caesar. I doubt it was "artistic license" on the part of the chef; more likely, just some slacker tossing whatever green stuff they could find in the bowl. The only thing caesar about that salad was the dressing. My dining companion's fish and chips would be more appropriately named breading and chips. Another's chicken sandwich was just OK. I think we are truly done there. Beaufort has too many other choices now. Chik Fil A beats Wren by a mile in terms of food, service, absolutely everything! Next time, we will go there and save a ton of money and have a really good lunch.

This is a great little "convenience" store attached to the City Loft Hotel. You can get a very good cuppa Joe made by a Barista and a fresh Scone, or a hand tapped beer and a bag of chips. You can also catch up on the latest news (and gossip) from the locals who frequent this shop and keep the barista busy each morning. This is a very good sign.
