Our dinner was wonderful. Be prepared to choose between two appetizers, two entrees and two desserts. The menu changes daily and the food was delicious.

fyi, not all superb restaurants are on King St...thanks for the reminder that food indeed can be transformative, is memory - restorative. This fish reminded me how I miss lunch in the French countryside: the crunch of fresh baguette...unoaked Chardonnay, luscious poisson avec dessert financier. A walk I will long remember...ad

I recently dined at this restaurant during a work trip with my colleagues from NJ, and we were truly impressed. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed yet elegant evening. Our server Lianna was warm, attentive, and made us feel welcomed from start to finish. The food was outstanding and beautifully prepared with authentic flavors that highlighted the best of French cuisine. Every detail, from presentation to taste, exceeded expectations. A wonderful experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an intimate and memorable meal. I wish I lived in the area so I could savor the dishes every week!!

The atmosphere and service were good, but the food just didn’t live up to the hype or the price. There are plenty of better places to eat in Charleston, and as this place came highly recommended we were pretty disappointed. Also not vegetarian-friendly

Third time eating here. Had reservations. Got seated at the bar on the plank chairs. Bar tender was nice but explained the dishes as “made right here fresh”. The orecchiette was from a box and had pesto with a few pistachios. Whoever is in that kitchen preparing this should second question their career choice. You only have two entrees and one is a box pasta with pesto. Shameful. Next time will stick to the normal restaurants we frequent. Service was good. Seating was not so good and food was a two star. Hate to leave a bad review. But this city has so many great restaurants and this one doesn’t hole up to the standard.

My wife and I were pleasantly surprised by Chez Nous. We were visiting Charlston for our anniversary and this was our first evening dining out.

We ignored Google maps and walked past the entrance thinking that the door would be on the main street. The place is an old historic house that has been converted into a beautiful quant little French restaurant. As you The patio/ courtyard area is gently lite with bistro lights and you walk past small table and family style table seating on your way to the front door. As you walk through the patio your drawn to the light from the kitchen windows. Through the windows the kitchen staff can be seen swiftly moving through the dinner rush. There is intimate seating indie a small dining space decorated to embrace the charm of this historic rustic space.

Service was what you would expect from a casual fine dining restaurant. Our server was relaxed, welcoming, and helpful but also cautious not too step on our toes.

The food was the start here. My wife and I shared a beautiful salad composed of cod, greens, radicchio, orange, olives, lemon vinaigrette, and topped with a gooey egg. My description isn't doing justice to the ingredients. But it was the most beautiful salad I can recall, since (for me) salad are usually forgettable.

We shared a duck rillettes, served with house made toast. A simple French classic done extremely well.

Pan seared scallops and roasted cauliflower was light, beautiful, and elegant. My wife's favorite. My favorite was the braised beef cheeks served over polenta, mirepoix, and braising liquid. Rich and luxurious, but with an surprising brightness.

Dessert was lemon tasty very well done.

In summation, there is love and care being put into every part of this restaurant. But the kitchen is hands down the heart of this establishment.

Thanks for a great meal.

Chez Nous is an absolute must try in Charleston (if you can get in!). Tucked away with its charming, intimate atmosphere, it feels like a secret you’re lucky to stumble upon. The menu changes daily, which makes the dining experience feel truly special.

The hanger steak with onions was perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavor and likely one of the best I’ve ever had. The trout with hazelnut brown butter was equally outstanding: rich, delicate, and beautifully balanced. And to finish, the pot de crème au chocolat was nothing short of delightful—silky, decadent, and the perfect sweet ending to a memorable meal.

The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the whole evening felt like dining at a friend’s home in Europe. Chez Nous captures the magic of simple, thoughtful cooking at its finest. I can’t wait to return and see what’s on the menu next time!

My wife and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary at Chez Nous in Charleston, and it was an unforgettable experience. The restaurant’s cozy, intimate atmosphere set the perfect tone for the evening.

We were fortunate to have Hylton as our server, with Lianna assisting. Both were exceptional—attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. They made us feel celebrated and cared for, which added so much to the night.

For dinner, we both ordered the crispy chicken thighs with a medley of vegetables, and it was nothing short of outstanding. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and beautifully balanced—it was one of those dishes that lingers in your memory. We also appreciate that the chef and her team work tirelessly to create a unique daily menu, and their effort and skill shone through in every bite.

Chez Nous is more than a restaurant—it’s an experience. Thanks to the incredible staff and exceptional food, our anniversary was truly special. We left completely satisfied and already planning our next visit.

Overpriced for what you get. Paid $24 for a small salad. While good, nothing extraordinary about it to make it so expensive. You could literally make it at home. Scallops were good but a little salty but small for the price. Dessert was also just okay. Would probably not go again.
