My husband & I were very impressed. The customer service was excellent & the food was incredible! The duck was crispy yet tender & flavorful. My husband was so happy with his choice of the halibut. We sat at the chef’s counter & the chef was energetic and friendly. Our waitress was wonderful and very attentive. We will definitely visit again!

Seating was a wee tight. But the ambience with light filtering in through the huge glass windows gave the space an open yet cosy feeling. Service was attentive without the need for summoning. If you are ordering off the Pastry menu be warned - you will be packing your other orders to take home. The Brioche Coffee Croissant will be forever in my memory. The location is a great asset.

This is one of the best restaurants in Charleston - and that's saying a lot. You are welcomed the minute you walk in the door of this lovely and cozy bistro. Great food served by a talented team of wait staff. A lively bar with knowledgeable bartenders (thanks David & Brett). Everyone in the restaurant strives to make your meal memorable. Always a great time.

While the mussels in garlic butter sauce were delicious, it would have been better to have bread with it to enjoy the sauce (like they do in Europe). Also, the roasted beet salad was very tasty but there was scant blue cheese to highlight the flavors as listed in the menu. The crepe cake is outstanding.

Fantastic food and stellar service. I had the beet salad and beef bourguignon. The salad was fresh with pickled onions and sharp blue cheese. The beef was tender and served on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes.

I have dined here quite a few times and enjoyed the atmosphere and food very much. Maybe just an off night but scallop and halibut dishes were drowning in sauce. Too much.
