Was lucky enough to get a reservation and so grateful! This was such a special dinner. Definitely lived up to all of the hype. Very intimate, warm space. Terrific 5 star service from all. Had the beef wellington (of course!), heirloom tomato salad, focaccia, stuffed farfalle, apple & pear trifle- so hard to pick a favorite as each was outstanding. The beef wellington is definitely a star. I have no idea where they get such delicious tomatoes at the end of October. Will definitely return.

We had the pleasure of attending their plated Valentine’s weekend dinner experience! And I am in love.
For reference, my husband and I are frequent Michelin star restaurant goers and this was at the top of our list. Everything was delicious, the flavors were beautiful, well plated, intriguing dishes while not over doing it.
Honestly, I think the plated menu was the way to go! It isn’t normally I guess but we really loved the way the chef put this meal together! Highly recommend!
As a note and personal opinion: restaurants like this require curiosity and appreciation for the subtle complexities the chefs integrate into their meals. Without this perspective I think it will be hard for someone to appreciate the meals at the cost.

Merci is a decadent experience and your answer to Beef Wellington. It’s located in a downtown house retrofitted into an open kitchen, so expect cramped quarters. Service is extremely attentive. My wife ordered a Non-Alc sparking and they were out, they went “next door” to fetch another bottle for us. The whole service was absolutely top notch service!!!
Started with Fois Gras which my wife loves. Fois Gras is never bad, but for 32 bucks it was a little steep and required more bread.
Main course – and the point of going – the Wellington. If you appreciate Beef Wellington, this is a tasty experience you wont regret. Been to UK at Gordon Ramsay’s Heddon Street. This smashed that by a mile.
Ended with a Banana Pudding (flavored) ice cream sundae which normally isnt my thing, but was absolutely fantastic.
Warning – the place is extremely cramped, and very loud. Because its so tight, they may ask you to wait outside or ask customers to leave if they linger too long. This is not an uncommon scenario for cramped quarters fine dining in Charleston, but just be aware of what you are getting into. Id personally like to see a table or two less in this space.
Merci is a good destination spot and recent recipient of James Beard recognition. Solid food, will be about 100-150+ per person especially if you are getting Wellington. Upper end of dining spectrum for Charleston id say a solid 4 stars for me in relation to its high end peers in town which i am comparing to. Would need to return again and order something other than the Wellington to graduate to 5 stars, perhaps.

Super Tax Genius
Absolutely excellent.
A small tasting ish menu but we had five items and they were all exceptional.
Nice place with great staff and doesn’t feel crowded or loud.
Very creative.

The Hungry Detective and Special Agent Deirdre had the most fantastic experience last night at Merci… If I could give six stars, I would right from the get go… all right let’s talk about the atmosphere first.
ATMOSPHERE: The location is in a true Charlestonian neighborhood just off the College of Charleston campus… there’s a small intimate dining area and then the chef‘s table where I like to sit, where there’s six spots. It’s just perfect and you can see all the action and how all dishes are cared for and prepped by Chef Alex and his wonderful staff!!!
SMALL PLATES/STARTERS: I don’t know where to start because everything looked absolutely fabulous. I would’ve ordered one of everything if I could’ve as I sat there and watched all these great plates come out. I will definitely get the focaccia bread with Benton’s cured ham and honey on my next visit and the tuna Crudo…we had the beef tartare with these delicate little mushrooms that were spread over this incredible handcrafted charcoal brioche bread and tallow aioli.
CUISINE: The Beef Wellington for two was our main course. It takes 50 minutes to prepare and it’s worth the wait, so if that’s on your mind, I would let them know as soon as you arrive. They really appreciate the heads up and let me tell you this is the best beef Wellington I’ve had and I will say that I have become a beef Wellington aficionado and this piece of beef was over the top and cooked to perfection and accompanied with an incredible sauce poivrade and surrounded by this fabulously decorated French pastry dough. The beef was accompanied by handcrafted vegetables that were absolutely incredible along with whipped duchess potatoes, served up steaming and piping hot in a French crock
WINE: Our server, Lucy and Chef Alex paired this beautiful French Bordeaux that was presented at the perfect temperature and accompanied to beef Wellington perfectly!!!
DESSERT: Chocolate mousse with these little black cocoa crumbles at the bottom it was better than sneezing and a great way to finish off the evening.
VERDICT: Guilty as sin for doing everything right with meticulous care and attention to every dish that leaves the kitchen. You will not find anything better in Charleston, that is so romantic and intimate with great food and wine and personality. I can’t wait to return.!!!
PSA: if you’re gonna order the beef, Wellington do it soon as you sit down the chef and staff, will appreciate your insight because there’s a lot going on at Merci!!!
“Good food brings good people together” and that’s what Merci is all about and such a blessing for the Charleston dining scene.

Best dining experience we’ve had in a while. Everyone was SO KIND and involved with service. Beautiful dining room, you can tell every detail was thought about. I will dream about the beef tartare and Caesar…..and those desserts….and the focaccia – just all of it was fantastic!

This was an awesome dinner. You can tell they are still tweaking things and were really intentional about everything. The head chef/owner was there putting the final touches on the dishes and the staff were clearly well trained and hospitable. When they asked if we liked a dish, you could tell they genuinely cared. Their space is super small and inviting with some modern French flair. Felt both lively and intimate. The food was excellent and they had some unique takes on dishes (see gnudi and duck ballotine). Seemed to me they are going for French w/ southern influence (chicken with greens as a good example). The tuna crudo, the duck ballotine, and the chicken were our favorites. We sat at the bar and it was entertaining to watch them put the dishes together and we talked with one of the cooks a good bit which was fun. Would highly recommend.

One of our favorite restaurants in Charleston now! Madison, the hostess, makes you feel at home! So welcoming and sweet. Truly a treasure.
Bennet was a wonderful server. Great suggestions and so personable.
The food is phenomenal and the atmosphere lovely.
We came once for a girls trip a few weeks ago and knew we had to come back with our husbands when we were passing through town this week. It’s a can’t miss spot. Cannot recommend enough!

Worth the wait! Made reservations a few days early and the food was outstanding. Our server Bennett recommended a few options and made them all vegetarian for my wife. Excellent choices and the Malbec selection was on point! We’ll be back for sure!!

We absolutely loved our experience at Merci! From the moment we walked in, Madison the host made us feel so welcome—warm, inviting, and genuinely excited to have us there. The open kitchen setup is a treat, you get to watch the team in action, and it makes you want to order even more just from seeing the dishes come together in front of you.
The staff was wonderful, the energy was cozy but lively, and every plate felt crafted with care. The leeks, in particular, blew us away, who knew you could actually crave a leek dish?! Easily our favorite.
So grateful to have a little French gem like this in Charleston. Merci will definitely be a place we return to again and again!
