we were looking for an alternate to the seemingly endless supply of seafood places in charleston. french food has always been a culinary treat. despite the worn silver mirrors and brassere-feel (not badly done) this isnt balthazar. not close. it was decent. oysters and escargo were average. menu was somewhat limited, but not without enough options. service was attentive without being over the top. it was a bit of a hike from the heart of the old city though. especially in the humidity. busy bar scene (we ate at 8:30 on saturday) and most tables full. it was big enough to accomodate several large groups, yet we didnt feel dwarfed. probably $150 for 6 oysters, an appetizer, 4 drinks, 2 dinners and desert, tax and tip included.
Pros: service, brasserie-atmosphere, size
Cons: a bit out of the way
