Wish I would have taken a picture prior to eating....ill be honest it was so good I just kept eating and then it dawned on me I should have taken a picture!! I will include a stock photo so you can see what it looked like before I inhaled it all. What a great find....visiting from out of state. This place is just a little off of King street (3 blocks). Sat under the outdoor patio, very quaint and clean. Small menu but excellent quality of food. I had the SCALLOPS with coconut rice & english peas, snap peas & corn, green curry beurre blanc. It was outstanding!! The service was amazing. The gal (horrible that I didn't get it..she has red hair and is a little button) was fantastic! I also had the blueberry mocktail, very refreshing. Not one complaint.

WOW! I have lived in Charleston for over 15 years and this place by far had some of the best food I’ve had here! The place it’s self has a really nice ambiance. Once it gets dark outside they dim the lights insides making it the perfect place for a romantic dinner.We had the muscles and fries which were cooked perfectly. The butter sauce the muscles are in is perfect! Make sure you get the buttery garlic baguette to dip! Fries were okay they tasted like any other fries. Might’ve been nice if they made them truffle fries. The goat cheese spring rolls were my favorite! The honey and nuts that are on top just make the dish. We also got the carpaccio. It has a very similar flavor to Slight North of Broads which was always my absolute favorite!

One Dish kept this from being a perfect meal Our waiter, (Dexter), was great. We started this meal with Mussels and frits. The frits was prefect vessel to soak up butter, coconut lime broth For our second appetizer we shared softshell crabs. This crab was served on a bed of corn, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, sweet peppers and gnocchi. The corn medley was so good, I think Nico should incorporate it into their daily menu. If I could do it over, I would have taken the option of adding a second softshell and made this my main dish. The wife's Scallops were perfectly cooked served on top of an excellent coconut rice with snap peas and a green curry beurre Blanc. My Duck L'Orange, was the single miss step in our meal. The dish was a bland and the duck slightly undercooked. Compare the picture I posted with this review, to the picture on Nico's Facebook page, and it is clear this isn't the same dish. We finished with 2 deserts: Mine was a very nice Crème brûlée that was fired table side.

The pacing of the meal seemed extremely rushed. We told our server that she could leave us be for a bit but kept come back every 15 minutes. Between that and clearing plates constantly, we felt smothered. I guess we are not accustomed to the pacing of American dinner time.

A perfect meal! We started with the escargot which was very unique and delicious. We had the fish ‘en croute’, scallops, and duck l’orange. All of it was amazing and our waiter was still attentive even as the restaurant began to get busy. A must next time we visit! Thanks Bistronomy for an excellent meal and great service!

Oh my goodness. SO GOOD!! The bread is phenomenal. The scallops are to-die-for! My niece got the steak frites, and this dish was also amazing! Highly recommend!!
Me and my girlfriend went here to celebrate our anniversary. To say it was fantastic is a massive understatement! Charleston is filled to the brim with amazing food of all sorts, but Bistronomy is on another level. With their fast and friendly service, outstanding food, and super vibes, there is no better place to grab one hell of a meal and then go explore the city. Shout out to our sweet server (Dalton!) who was so easy to chat with, the manager (Patrick!) was on top of everything and made us feel so special, and of course the talented chef, Jim. Top to bottom one of the best experiences you’ll have in the Holy City. Merci!
Friends let me tell you about this experience!!! It was good. This is off the beaten path but is an absolute must! Our appetizer was muscles and fries in coconut and lime broth, as well as sriracha and cornichon ketchup. The flavors were so nice and danced on the tongue.Next up I had the bourride and it didn’t disappoint. Dam! That was tasty!For dessert we had the lava cake and just like everything else it was done correctly and had great flavor that wasn’t overpowered with sugar as I have seen so many times.Our server was Dalton and he was very knowledgeable about the offerings and also the area. He’s a great server and made us feel welcome!Come to this restaurant because you will not leave disappointed. Thanks for the amazing food!!!

Wonderful dinner with friends - I enjoyed the beef bourguignon and we split some of the smaller plates as well. Wine selection was nice and the brown butter old fashioned was tasty. Service was great and attentive. Recommended!

Bistronomy is an enthralling experience. The food is flawless, the service some of the best in Charleston, the drinks are on point and the vibe is hopping. We came here for a belated Valentine's Day celebration and the experience did not disappoint!

Bistronomy is a lovely little spot in downtown Charleston. We discovered it by chance and were very happy to be able to snag a late reservation during a very busy weekend. Because we got a late reservation, I think it affected a couple of things so I want to say that this is probably a 5 star dining experience normally. And definitely a place I would return to on future trips. We ordered drinks and entrees, planned on dessert but by the end of the meal decided against it. The absolute star of the night and possibly the weekend (and we ate out A LOT) was the scallops large plate. It was perfection! The scallops were cooked perfectly and had a beautiful peppery finish. The green curry beurre blanc was so flavorful and a wonderful accompaniment to the rice and vegetables too. Just a gorgeous plate of beautiful food, we loved it. The Fish "en croute" large plate was our other choice and it was very good but lacked something. It could've used a touch of salt or acid. We think maybe because we were a late reservation perhaps the dish was rushed or maybe something just got forgotten. Overall still really nice and we liked the butter "crust" element, The service was friendly and professional but we felt very rushed after our entrees were delivered so we decided against coffee or dessert, I would definitely recommend Bistronomy, a creative and thoughtful menu
