SO, WHAT’S THE DEAL?

Both RAW LAB & LTLE FISH operate in the same space, at the same location (Port of Call @ 99 S. Market Street, CHS, SC) at the same u-shaped bar, with the same 12 seats. Both operate in the same exact room. However, RAW LAB operates Thurs - Sat and LTLE FISH operates (Mon - Wed). LTLE FISH offers a different overall experience and service style than RAW LAB as well.

SIMILARITIES

Location: Exactly The Same. 99. S Market Street @ Port of Call (Between Meeting & Church)

Room: LTLE FISH is the same room as RAW LAB but it will be sat, set and served differently.

DIFFERENCES

Service Style: RAW LAB is an OMAKASE style of service. LTLE FISH is an A LA CARTE style of service. At LTLE FISH you order from a menu. At RAW LAB, you entrust the chef and just enjoy the ride. The cadence and timing is entirely different. Groups come in at different times to LTLE FISH and receive what they order when its made. For RAW LAB, everyone enters at once and everyone enjoys each dish and wine at the same time.

Service Schedule: RAW LAB: Thurs - Sat from 6:37pm to about 10:30pm. LTLE FISH: Mon, Tues & Wed at 6pm & 8:15pm, so, two seatings.

Seats & Seatings: RAW LAB offers 12 seats and there is only one seating per night. LTLE FISH is currently offering just 8 seats but has two seatings at 6pm & 8:15pm

Time Frame: RAW LAB is Culinary Theater or Dinner & A Show. The time frame is 6:30 - 10:30ish. LTLE FISH can be enjoyed 1/2 of a glass of wine and one dish at a time. You could come in for one dish and a quick glass of Rose…come and go in 30 minutes, if that suits ya.

Price: RAW LAB is prix fixe @ $250 ++ per seat. LTLE FISH is a la carte, meaning, order what you like and pay the bill when you are ready for it.

Cancellation Policy: LTLE FISH has a small cancellation / no show fee. RAW LAB has a more a-typical cancellation / no - show policy which is rarely applied as people almost never no-show and even late cancellations are becoming easier and easier to fill, even in the last moment.

Participation: RAW LAB is highly participatory for the guests. LTLE FISH isnt as much though guests do tend to interact a lot because they are all sat around the same 12 seat bar. Guests at RAW LAB will have a hard time having their own private conversations or catching up without interruption. Its exactly the opposite at LTLE FISH.

Chef / Assistant: Kevin & Heather operate RAW LAB. Simon Zeb & Aengus operate LTLE FISH.

Menu: LTLE FISH offers a menu that is mostly RAW LAB’s Greatest Hits or MARINE CUISINE & DelicaSEAS by Master Mermmelier Kevin Joseph. However, LTLE FISH will feature specials and be used to experiment with wines we haven’t added to the line up at RAW LAB yet. LTLE FISH is, therefore, kind of a TEST KITCHEN for RAW LAB.

Wine: Many of the same wines are used in both LTLE FISH and RAW LAB but we are experimenting with new wines more at LTLE FISH.

Vibe: LTLE FISH features the same tunes as RAW LAB but there isn’t any specific playlists for courses. Our master playlist is on shuffle with LTLE FISH whereas with RAW LAB certain dishes, pairing and elements of style are linked to specific songs.

Culinary Theater: RAW LAB is A LOT more choreographed than LTLE FISH but there is still a lot to see and experience at LTLE FISH as all of the dishes are made no farther from any guest than 6’. LTLE FISH is more like watching a movie at home and RAW LAB is like going to the theater.

Education: You’ll learn quite a bit about MARINE CUISINE & DelicaSEAS at both, if you ask questions.

We created LTLE FISH for three reasons:

1. Develop new chefs.

2. Create a “Test Kitchen” for RAW LAB.

3. Our many repeat customers and raving fans for RAW LAB wanted a different way to enjoy the room and MARINE CUISINE & DelicaSEAS of RAW LAB.
