Best French Restaurants in James Island

We had a lovely experience for our anniversary dinner here. Staff were friendly and accommodating. They had a cute sign on our table with happy anniversary on it. Overall, the food was very good. We enjoyed our apps and our dinner selections. We got the apple tarte tatin for dessert, and were disappointed. It was served ice cold, the apples weren’t caramelized, and the crust was hard. The waitress was apologetic, but said that is how they serve it there. They did take it off the bill, even though we asked them not too, as we were going to bring it home and put it in the oven. Overall, a nice evening. We will likely return.

Ravioli appetizer wonderful. Wednesday is burger night-fantastic. Chicken great . Server Neal on top of things!

Had a wonderful meal. Steak tartare/ duck/mussels were excellent Kerrigan our server was very friendly The noise level was a little high but would not stop me from going back Overall s good experience

Best dining experience of our lives. We closed the menus and trusted the Head Waiter, Donnie. We ate things we would have never ordered and loved every one of them! This is a quaint little place - Brandon, Hunter and Donnie are forever intertwined in our lives. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will be eating here every time we get to Charleston. Cheers!

Let 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.
