Venus has a wonderful spot for group gathering that we use frequently for company gatherings. I would highly suggest the tap room for an informal roaming dining experience, awesom...
e cocktails and patio. Music selection is always on point, they will play a list if you prefer. Service is wonderful and attentive to your needs. Menu selections are plentiful, I've done just about everything they offer and the Venus sliders are a big hit along with the seasonal selections they change up. Tory and Tulsi are easy going and provide on point communication to plan the perfect evening. I'm a big fan and it's one of the best spots in SC by far! Have a cocktail in the tap room and check it out for yourself:)
