Located in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, you have an 1800’s home-turned-restaurant. Their daily changing menu and quaint atmosphere really attracts anyone who is craving French themed food! That means you never have to have the same thing twice! (And, for someone like me, who hates ordering the same thing twice, this cute little place is a godsend!)
Oh, did I mention handwritten menu’s straight from the Chef’s hands?!
Price Range: $$$ You’re literally paying for the taste!
Chain: NO Authentic food and handwritten menus, I wish they would come to Atlanta!!
Atmosphere: ** Handsome waiters aside, the restaurant is quite tiny so being completely comfortable is not really an option in my opinion. The restaurant is split on two stories so there is plenty of separation, but that’s their exact issue. Too separate on top and too crowded on bottom.
Location: * Although my girlfriends and I stumbled upon this place by mistake, it seems to be one of those places you just have to know about. It is in the heart of Charleston, but in a side street that we passed about three times before realizing where it actually was… Not fun since it was raining.
Service: **** Like I mentioned, handsome waiters. Literally, not one was unattractive! But that’s beside the point here. The waitress we were provided with made sure we understood everything on the menu, gave us little known facts about the house and also made sure we had our table even when we arrived 30 minutes early and people had crowded in front of the door while we all hid together under the covered porch from the downfall.
Taste: **** So my drink was called the Grand Creme and it truly lived up to the name! The size was tiny but the flavor was grand indeed! A double espresso with hot cream. Absolutely to die for. So good that six out of seven girls ordered one! As for the food, I had chosen an omelet with asparagus with a green salad. Cooked to perfection is putting it lightly. Almost as light and fluffy as the eggs tasted!!
