The waiter had tobe flagged for drink and dinner orders. Although they make a deal of a number of services presenting the plates at the same time, they routinely got it wrong. The wait between appetizers and entrees approximated an hour--and the waiter didn't check in with us. The service killed the evening. Maybe they treat tourists that way--but I will probably be in Charleson again, and wuld never return-- Mon Feb 23 19:26:23 -0800 2009 12433 lparis 1 4446880 That's really sad. I was there the weekend before and had just the opposite experience. The service was absolutely fantastic. Tue Feb 24 06:38:40 -0800 2009 4446007 16731 JPAub 1 4447275 McCrady's is on my list. I am intrigued by their approach to molecular gastronomy. Tell me, does every dish look like a science experiment? My notion is that I will go when I have a small appetite. The experience appears to be a more of a feast for the senses anyhow.

I actually didn't find the portions to be all that bad if you order a dish from every flight. A lot of other molecular gastronomy places are a lot more...sparing when it comes to plating size (but then again I like them better).

I haven't eaten from their a la carte menu, but they looked more traditional..... less molecular gastronomy going on. I also thought that the portions were ample overall.
