- NNick & TraceyVIPNew York City •24 reviews5.0Dined todayWe had a wonderful evening at Maison! We had a very hard time deciding what to chose for appetizers and entrees! With some guidance by Nate, we made some great choices and enjoyed our meals immensely! My husband LOVES Foie Gras paired with a good Sauterne and went with the appetizer. He wished he got more on his plate though, it was that GOOD! Nate gave us plenty of time to savor every morsel but attentive! Reminds us of wonderful times in Paris with the decor and gentle music playing.More infoMaisonPrice: Expensive• French• Downtown Charleston•4.9

- SBSarahBWest Palm Beach •6 reviews5.0Dined on 11 Oct 2024Let me start by saying Mike is an incredible host, server, chef, and historian. This was a one of a kind experience and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a unique culinary experience in Charleston. While it is not a conventional restaurant, Mike takes you on a culinary journey of 18th and 19th century low country cuisine, keeping things as authentic as possible while still appealing to our modern palates. Each dish was carefully crafted and thoughtfully prepared. The table was full of strangers, but we all got to chat and listen to Mike’s wonderful presentation of Charleston history to go along with each dish. Our specific meal was centered around Legacy families of Charleston, so we enjoyed dishes each family would have also enjoyed. Mike deserves all of the attention and reservations he can handle. As he says, he’s one of Charleston’s best kept secrets, and I believe that to be true because I had a fantastic experience.More infoHistoric Charleston Supper ClubPrice: Very Expensive• American• Downtown Charleston•4.6
