    Pork belly
    Luke G.

    Nice small place with about 18 tables. Food was really great. We went to celebrate our anniversary. Started with the beet salad, and beef tartare. Both dishes were excellent. They had a pork belly special, the morels were amazing! Also had the spiced duck dish. Amazing taste on it! Highly recommended

    We had a perfectly splendid dinner here. The service was wonderful. The patio was charming-- it was a lovely evening so we chose to eat outside. Everything we ate was AWESOME! The pate and the croquet were great openers. The pate was definitely shareable but my 18 year old niece co-traveler was less interested in trying it. But none went to waste. Both of our entrees were delicious. The lentils were a bit unusual with the lamb but tasty. We were full but felt remiss if we didn't try a dessert so we got the lovely apple dessert to go. A good move!

    Diver Scallop Cassoulet

    This one small block on King street likely has the best group of restaurants in all of Charleston, which is saying a great deal. The restaurant offers very limited onsite parking and since we were dining early we were able to nap one. When you walk in there is bar seating to the left, some very comfortable looking oval shape booths that look to seat about 4, and regular tables toward the black. The ceilings are high with a warehouse feel and painted black which seems to be the trend these days. Service was excellent, with just the right amount of attention. I started with Onion Soup Croquet. Think of a deconstructed French Onion soup that is about as unique of a dish as you can find. The dish starts with a medium size crispy Croquet stuffed with onion, and an onion soup broth and topped with lightly melted cheese. This is the a must dish. The wife ordered Octopus Bourguignon, which was Octopus, cavatelli, with a sofrito, bordelaise sauce. While I was not a fan as to how the Octopus and cavatelli played together, the sauce was deep, rich and frankly stunning. The wife and I split an order of Burgundy Escargot, with ramp butter, and baguettes. I like my Escargot the old fashion way smothered in just garlic butter, but this ramp butter was amazing. The wife's main dish was Diver Scallop Cassoulet. Although this was the least of our favorite dish, another unique broth still made this a very solid option. My main dish was the Monkfish Chop. This dish had a nice size piece of fish with a sizeable bone in the center (hence the term Chop). The dish included Almondine, capers, and brown butter jus that again was a fantastic paring to the meat. It also came with a side of Carolina gold rice which was a great way to soak up the brown butter Jus. Frankly, and as you might have deduced from this write up, all the dishes have a unique and amazing broth that needs to be served rice or bread or something else to help soak up and enjoy all of the rich goodness

    French Onion Croquette & Happy Hour Gold Rush

    If I lived in Charleston, I'd be here every Tuesday. The staff is beyond friendly, the specials are incredible, and it's just the cutest quaintest little place. Fantastic gold rush bourbon cocktail & French onion croquette appetizer

    Pommes Frites!!!

    At the beginning of the month our girls night out dinner was here at Maison. One of the wins right off the bat is that they have a parking lot! Parking in downtown CHS is not a fun thing to do, so when a restaurant has parking I'll be adding a star just for that!!! The restaurant has a patio for outdoor eating when it's not the middle of summer and 110 degrees in the shade. Once inside they have big booths down the wall across from the bar and then another area with tables. We were sat in the middle big booth across from the bar. I thought it was going to be too loud to hear, but it wasn't. The only person I couldn't hear was our server. She was super sweet and knowledgeable but was extremely soft spoken. Luckily one of my friends with good ears picked up what she was saying! For drinks we all started with their G-Love. A great tequila cocktail. I don't remember the other cocktail I had, so it must not have been as delicious as the first. Since us girls love to share, we went with all of that evenings specials, a couple apps, a couple sides, and one entree. Everything was delicious. My favorite bites of the evening came from the tuna and heirloom tomatoes. Tomatoes are amazing this time of the year and the tuna was complimented by them perfectly. The escargot was warm, buttery and delicious on the toast point. And surprisingly to me, the field pea gratin was another favorite bite. I don't like peas, but this was not green, mushy, stinky, can peas that I vision when I hear the word peas!! It was far from that type of peas and was delicious. Date night, girls night, or just downtown and you want a drink and a bite at the bar, Maison is a great pick.

    Steak
    Sharon R.

    Had another incredible meal at Maison for my birthday! Allie, our server was so attentive, but gave us all the space we needed. I hadn't had the steak frites yet, so I decided to splurge and I'm so glad I did. Typically, the steak in this dish is (purposely) a tougher cut if meat, but Maison uses a tenderloin with an au poivre sauce and it's magnificent! Fries were nice and crispy, too. My husband had the fish amondine and it came with two huge pieces of fish. Also had the chocolate mousse, because, why not? Surprisingly not busy on a Thursday, but we had just another lovely time.

    Some places try to be classy, and some places just are. Such is the case of Maison in downtown Charleston. The restaurant exudes casual elegance with excellent friendly service from a dedicated staff who genuinely care about providing a top-notch experience. We specifically came on Wednesday for their much-touted burger, but I am getting ahead of myself. We started with cocktails that were both tasty and presented with great care. Being a bourbon fan, I went with the Bon Vivant which had Vodka, Cappelletti, St. Germain, and Lemon. The bourbon was very smooth, and the drink imparted a slightly fruity taste without being too sweet. My wife went with their most popular cocktail, the G-Love. It was made with Tequila, Rhum Blanc, Aperol, Salers, Lemon, and Grapefruit. the taste was light and refreshing with nice citrus notes. I am a huge French onion soup fan, so I absolutely had to get the Onion Soup Croquette. Don't pass on this appetizer as the crust was crispy and light, the inside filled with a thick rich onion soup that gives you that true comfort food vibe. In a word delicious! Since we came for the burger fries were definitely a must! The Clarified Butter Pommes Frites with béarnaise aioli were a stellar success being crispy and full of flavor. Of course, the burger was the star of the show with some of the most impressive list of ingredients. A all house made burger on a house made milk bun covered in duck fat and sea salt. There are two patties the first being a ground chuck and hanger beef patty and the second a duck sausage patty. It is then topped with caramelized onions, melted gruyere cheese, garlic aioli on the bun and finished with sauce bordelaise which is a red wine jus. It sells at the time of this posting for $18. It was almost hard to even refer to this as a burger as it ate like a gourmet entree. Earthy, rich, beefy, cheesy, a true Umami experience! So set aside a Wednesday and go experience a luxurious burger that will please your taste buds and blow your mind!

    Excellent French restaurant off upper King Street! My party arrived around 6pm on a Wednesday night. There are 5 or 6 reserved parking spots in the parking lot right by the restaurant (plenty of street parking close by if these spots are full). Wednesday night is burger night so I ordered the burger with a side of fries (served with a side of aioli). Both were excellent and I highly recommend! I believe they only have a certain amount of burgers on Wednesday night so make sure you get there early enough to get one!

    Beautiful Bar

    We were excited to try dinner after making a reservation at Maison. We were greeted promptly at the door and seated immediately. . We were seated in a booth near the door. There really is not a lot of space to get comfortable. The booth is a great idea. However, if you're carrying extra poundage, it's going to be a very tight squeeze. I found it to be a little uncomfortable. Our meal was beautiful, our waiter was fantastic. He made us feel comfortable, and he was very knowledgeable about the food and it's preparation along with the extensive wine list. He was very attentive, and checked on us frequently. The four-star review is for the tight, squeeze both at the table and on our wallets. I felt the meal was over priced as were the wines. Other than that we had a great night.

    Burger with pommes frites
    Laura P.

    I would give it 4.5 maybe go up to a 5 when we go back because we will. I have heard a lot about Maison and we were lucky to go on a wednesday which i knew was their burger night. We say at the bar - the bartender was fantastic - engaging, welcoming, explained each dish perfectly and gave us a lot of history of the restaurant. The burger was great - I had the tartare which i loved too. Not pictured are the escargot. My only gripe was i wish the burger would have come with pommes frites (which we did order and were terrific). Again, we will come back! Their outside patio is dog friendly with heaters during the winter. I like that the patio is private and not just a table with chairs on the sidewalk.

    Beautiful evening at Maison! From the movement we walked in to the moment we walked out, every detail was meticulously thought out. The decor is lovely throughout. I look forward to dining on the patio next time! Looking for a tasty cocktail, try the G-Love! It is a mix of tequila, aperol, grapefuit.. Delightful way to start the meal. After reading reviews of the french soup croquette I couldn't pass it up! YUM! It is soup in a crusty filling! I've heard they only make a certain amount so be sure to get your order in for one! For my entree, I went with the chicken cordon bleu. It was a perfect dish to follow the croquette. The best part was each little bite of chicken with the leeks, oyster mushrooms, and Dijon jus. It seemed fitting as the weather is getting cooler! Another dish we had was the steamed flounder. Don't be turned off by the "steamed" description as it was also a superb dish! Served with delicata squash and Swiss chard. Great flavors for Fall. To finish the meal, we split a few desserts. The almond crème caramel and the fresh madeleines. Both were amazing! I love that the madeleines come out warm! Just perfect! Thank you for a fantastic evening.

    French onion croquette
    Jessica K.

    Ate here on my first night arriving in Charleston. Place is small with limited seating indoors and the rest outdoors on the side. My friend and I got the last open table, every seat in the house was taken. We decided to try the French onion soup croquettes. These were so good, they should really offer a bowl of French onion soup. The flavor was so good. My friend got the mussels, which were probably the largest mussels I've ever seen in my life. This was a 3+ pound bowl that's served. I got the steamed flounder with potato-fennel pave and warm tartar sauce. This was DELICIOUS. The fish was so fresh, perfectly cooked, covered in such a nice sauce with olives and tons of capers. I've never eaten anything like the pave, but it was also so good. This was the best dinner I had on my trip to Charleston.

The wait staff was not very welcoming, which definitely impacted the overall experience. When visiting a restaurant, especially one with such a great reputation, I expect to feel welcomed and valued as a guest. I was also disappointed by the inconsistency in the posted hours. The hours listed on the restaurant's website differed from the hours shown on Google, which can be very confusing when you're trying to plan your visit. Another concern was the payment experience. The restaurant placed two separate holds on my account--one for $1 and another for over $100. I understand that temporary authorization holds can sometimes occur, but having two separate holds was unexpected and added to an already disappointing experience. Hopefully, this was just an off experience, but based on my visit, I would hesitate to return.
