- DDonSouth Carolina •43 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe have lived in Charleston for 24 years and this is our first visit to this restaurant. It was one of the best meals we’ve had in the city. Delicious food, both French and American and a great place to eat. We were right next-door to the music venue we were going to. The service was superb. I recommend those who have just come to Charleston and who might have been here a while, but not gone yet to try this place out. You will not be disappointed.More info39 Rue de Jean - CharlestonPrice: Expensive• French• Downtown Charleston•4.4
