French Restaurants in Charleston, SC

“Delicious and creative menu!“

“I don't drink alcohol and I still absolutely loved it! It was more small plates. Lots of cocktail and alcohol options all my friends loved. I think i ate some of every small plate and each plate was delicious!! I have never had caviar before and this was the best way to try it. I loved it! The only thing i changed was i took the caviar off of the cracker they served it on because the cracker almost overpowered the taste of the caviar it was so good. I also loved the caviar over the deviled egg. I can't wait to go back. The chocolate dessert was a hit for every person at the table. 5 star meal.“

“Dined here back in 2019, but form wouldn't let me select that. It is has since closed (as a result of Covid? I'm unsure.), but so hope it reopens in the future. Lovely upscale dining spot with an old school feel. Fantastic design. Delicious food.“

“Amazing birthday celebration dinner.“

“Our experience at Élevé absolutely exceeded expectations. On Monday, we gathered with friends for a delightful rooftop dinner that felt both elegant and relaxed, with remarkably artful cuisine, a chic rooftop garden ambiance, and breathtaking views of downtown Charleston’s cobblestones made it unforgettable. Then on Tuesday, we returned simply for a glass of wine at sunset, and that alone felt like magic.

What truly elevated the experience was the service. I didn’t catch the server’s name Monday but she was fabulous. On Tuesday, Hannah was a true highlight, warm, bright, and effortlessly attentive. Both servers navigated the evenings beautifully.

The setting is one of Charleston’s most artful dining destinations, with an elegant rooftop garden and an inventive coastal cuisine rooted in Southern and French flavors, where every detail, from the herbs to the presentation, is intentional. The vibe borders on whimsical: a rooftop wonderland where art, cocktails, and culinary design converge.

Élevé isn’t just a dinner, it’s an experience you want to savor again and again. If you’re in Charleston, plan to stay awhile, and ask for Hannah.“

“Excellent food and service in warm welcoming environment.“

“This was a first for my wife and I to experience French Cuisine for her Burfday and Brasserie La Banque met all of our expectations and also surpassed those through their hospitality and being sure their patrons were treated as royalty. We will definitely be dining there again as soon as possible.“

“The atmosphere was nice the food was amazing and the drinks were delicious! Also the dessert was yummy! Nice place to relax eat good food and unwind!“

“Terrific Experience - very interesting presentation and we loved the food too!“

“Wonderful crepes. We liked them so much we came back the next day. Much better food than Millers.“

“Rue de Jean has been a favorite since they opened. Tonight was our first visit in a few months, and we were struck by how loud it was in there! Hard to hear each other and our server. As always, the food is delicious (especially the burgers!), but oddly, our signature cocktails were not — could taste only the alcohol, no mixers. Stick to classic cocktails and the wine list. A good value and fun spot.“
