My family reunion was in Charleston over Father%26#39;s Day 2006. Our group of about 20 people had dinner at Hyman%26#39;s and it wasn%26#39;t very good. Someone with the nametag ';Eli Hyman'; came to our tables and recommended a few dishes including mussels which I love. I ordered them but they were bad. My cousin and nephew also ordered them and theirs were bad as well. They tasted like they were old or something. They were scampi style but that didn%26#39;t improve the flavor. My brother got the whole fried grouper and he liked that but pretty much all of us were disappointed.

The other thing that I didn%26#39;t like were the hush puppies. They were very sweet, similar to Boston Market%26#39;s cornbread only in a hush puppy. My brother-in-law went to college in Charleston and he said they are made to be sweet in the Charleston area but I really didn%26#39;t like them.

Their prices are very good and you get quite a bit of food but if the food isn%26#39;t good, it%26#39;s a waste.

Before you go bashing a business on a public forum, perhaps you should notify the management. It%26#39;s altogether possible that they got a bad batch - it is seafood, you know. If indeed your food was %26#39;bad%26#39;, I%26#39;m sure you would have been comp%26#39;d with all of the appropriate ';sorry%26#39;s';.

I%26#39;m not a Hyman%26#39;s apologist, heck, I%26#39;ve only been there once, but to me one bad meal does not a restaurant make.

The restaurant business is too keen in Charleston for even a place like Hyman%26#39;s to take it for granted.
