Reviews
maddie had really awesome suggestions for drinks AND food. i dont really like champagne, but wanted some for the occasion, and maddie picked out a great one for me to try. she also gave us food suggestions, and honestly, i thought it was a little crazy she suggested chicken at such a nice restaurant lol, but oh my god that chicken was freakishly good. like thanksgiving chicken. 10/10. the steak was also quite yummy.
i also have to shoutout maddie twice, because she was the friendlist waitress ive ever had, and that just really really added to the special day. she seemed to truly care about our celebration/engagement, and made great conversation, while still being efficient and hardworking. at the end of our dinner, she brought us to the speakeasy downstairs (another great suggestion by maddie), and we had great service from avery. the drinks he made were fantastic and he seems to treat his customers well.
definitely will visit this place again if i find myself in charleston sometime
The staff was exceptionally friendly and professional, and we were kindly offered a complimentary glass of bubbles to celebrate our special occasion. I requested seating at the chef’s counter, which turned out to be a wonderful choice—it was a pleasure to observe the team’s professionalism and attention to detail as they prepared each dish.
We ordered two croissants, both of which were outstanding. I especially recommend the pumpkin cheesecake croissant, which was our favorite. We also tried the hamburger with potatoes, and everything was delicious; it was clear that the food is made in-house with great care.
I would absolutely return to explore more items on the menu after such an enjoyable experience. This is without a doubt one of the best places in town for brunch—11/10.
Our brunch did have a longer gap between appetizers and mains, but the flavors made up for it. To make up for the wait, they surprised us with three fresh croissants including the best banana croissant I’ve ever had.
We stayed for about two hours, and with two toddlers in tow, they eventually got a bit restless and wandered around. The team greeted them warmly and made us feel at ease, even though we may have disturbed a few guests (sorry!).
Thank you for the hospitality! I’ll be back for that banana croissant!
Oysters Thermidor: Very good, creamy, flavorful and not fishy
Scallop Carpaccio: Cucumber oil was interesting, the smoked roe was the star bringing it altogether. Herbs didn’t complement
French Onion Soup: Wish it had a bit more char on the cheese, and missing salt, but overall delicious.
Gnocchi Parisienne: nicely seared gnocchi and incredible sauce. Shrimps were decent size and mussel not overcooked. Barely if any saffron flavor.
Mkt Fish – Amadine: Tile fish with good flaky bite, but not overcooked. Sear was a little uneven but the lemon crust was delicious with the toasted almonds. Butternut squash was excellent and buttery smooth.
Vanilla Cream Crème Brûlée: Perfect.
Profiteroles: Perfect amount, ice cream was average but the pastry was fluffy but with a slight crunch still. Chocolate sauce has great flavor and wasn’t too sweet.
On the expensive side of Charleston, meal for two came to over $150 with tax, tip.
