The service was absolutely stellar, our waiter was very attentive and friendly, he offered his opinion on the dishes, how shareable they were, and even offered options to make menu items more palatable for younger diners. The food was spectacular, and my picky son found a menu item that he absolutely adored, I was stunned at how he flexed his palate and tried new foods. Overall this was a fantastic experience.More infoMaisonPrice: Expensive• French• Downtown Charleston•4.9

Discover Daniel Island
Daniel Island is a vibrant location with traditional neighborhoods, a spectacular coastal view, and a thriving downtown filled with great restaurants. You can enjoy delicacies like parmesan-and-basil-encrusted salmon, lavender-and-honey-marinated pork tenderloin, or succulent lamb-and-beef meatballs over linguini with fine vintage wines and beautiful island views. What could be better than a fine meal starting with a charcuterie plate and jumbo lump crab cakes? Follow it up with tarragon shallot salmon, Mediterranean penne pasta, or pork Milanese and an IPA-style draft beer and you’ll have yourself a dining experience to remember. Save room for dessert because the white chocolate banana bread pudding, triple chocolate cake, and peanut-butter-cup pie are not to be missed. With a smattering of international fare and local bars, Daniel Island is a paradise for those who love food.
