The food is amazing. I try things at least three times per year. My favorite is the French onion soup. I tried two menu items I tried escargos for the first time and it was alright. Secondly, I tasted their frog legs and they were okay. Overall, the employees are very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is professional and soothing. read more

An amazing experience from start to finish. French cuisine at it's finest! The escargot was some if the best I've had. The frig kegs were huge and cooked perfectly in a delicious lemon garlic wine butter. The French Onion soup was rich & delicious & can be made GF without the crouton. Adding the Lardons to the pear Roquefort salad was a gamechager! Definitely a neak to remember & be talked about for years to come! read more

This place is so underrated!! I am happy that most of low country does not know of them so I can get on- but honestly- this place should be packed. The food is beyond quality for what you pay. And the ambience is so nice. Not a crazy noisy restaurant- truly feels like a French bistro (with a bar)! We had fondue, salad, and a special pork Wellington and left beyond happy !! I don't want to leave a review bc it was so good and I don't want too many ppl to come here!! But come!! It's awesome. read more

DELICIOUS mussels and onion soup! I've ordered it each time and we take the mussel "pot liquor" home to put over pasta the next day. read more

Wow! What an incredible secret gem! Tucked in an unassuming strip mall lies one of the best French restaurants in the Charleston area. Cheese for fondue flown in from France and order early as it is prepared to perfection upon your order. Insanely good mussels, chicken, and fish dishes. Appetizers of escargot and salads are divine. Top of the line martinis and a great wine list! read more

everything was nice. sadly we found a hair in tonight's porkchop special. other than that, it was a good night. service was great, and the food was nice too. escargot, and lamb 9/10. the duck was interestingly cooked. but still good. we wondered why it was cooked after being sliced, and not cooked whole. or cooked whole, and then sliced. we didn't want to look like we wanted anything free, but we did try and say something but i guess we weren't loud enough, and the server walked away too quickly. read more

Crazy expensive for decent French fair. Waiter was cool and attentive, but the wife's steak was a colossal meat slab that lacked an appetizing presentation. read more

It doesn't look like much from the outside and it's a bit dated inside as well but don't let appearances fool you. The food is incredible! I think it's by far the best French food in the area. I've had everything from the lamb, crab cakes, flounder and duck breast and every single fish has been so flavorful and perfectly cooked. They also have a great selection of wine and the service has been great as well. It's one of my favorites. read more

Best crab cakes and escargot ever!! The high quality of the crab cakes was awesome. Classic escargot preparation. Loved it.

The French Onion Soup was good. $16. The Flounder Madison. $36. Pan seared in a brown butter sauce served with purée cauliflower and Haricot Verts(string beans). Was bland. Far from the best I have had(Coco's). The service was fine. Nice place but the hard rock music didn't fit. Overall, a disappointment. And very expensive. They charge $6 if you want bread. Plus a 4 percent service charge for credit cards. I noticed how area restaurants were crowded and this wasn't. They have been at this location for five years.. read more

Just ok and expensive. There with a friend. Special of 4 oysters was $24. Too expensive. Just oysters with a flavored butter. Salad hardly any cheese for the price. Mussels and frites....where were the fries? Tini basket. Really not worth the price. read more

Finally made it this week to this gem of a real French Bistro. If you haven't check this place out, I highly recommend it especially with the warm cozy Holiday Christmas Tree vibe going on this month. On my first visit I had their fresh baked baguette with Butter (of course).The shrimp provincial with local shrimp blistered tomatoes was amazing. Used the bread to mop up all that sauce. They offered me the last portion of their Osso Buco which had great flavor, not overly salty and full of great whole baby carrots. I'll be back to taste more of the menu! And you make a great Martini! read more

Going here for the July 14th celebration Was the best idea! They had a live singer who was outstanding and the owner even sang a couple songs! The service here is always outstanding and though they were busy, they did not miss a beat! We over ordered, but were so pleased with everything we ate. We started with the cheese plate and fresh bread which was probably enough for the two of us. The cheeses were flavorful and high quality. The little toasted bread that came with are just right. We then had mussels and shrimp Provençal. They gave a huge portion of mussels. I can't say enough how good everything was! I can't wait to go back again! read more

I returned much later than I realized to the amazing Ville Sainte as it continues to thrive, the dishes are amazing, the service and attention to detail top notch. I'm so glad this family French Restaurant is doing so well. It feels like France in here, due to the decor, aromas and overall ambience. It continues to definitely be a hidden gem, right here in Mt. Pleasant. read more

So this was a first on multiple levels, I love French food so I'm always ready to partake. We started with the mussels and it was just ok honestly, the mussels from 39 Rue are way better. On what planet are mussel appetizers $18 slightly overpriced. Go for the shrimp Provençal app instead. Hubby had the duck breast and I had the steak frites, the menu says they come medium rare which tells me you don't have a choice so I just went with it because I'm a med rare girl anyway. Except it wasn't medium rare, the dishes came out medium instead. (Insert eye roll) The French bread was delicious. read more

This is such a hole in the wall. The food was good and the atmosphere was nice. There was a rowdy crowd there but I'm sure most nights it's not that loud. Personally, I would've preferred something other than French fries with my steak, especially for the price. We also had the muscles which were decent. The muscles also came with French fries. The wine list was limited as well. They do have a full bar though. The bread was freaking awesome, but luckily the waitress told us that after the first loaf it's not free. So keep that in mind. The staff was amazing. One of the chefs/ owners also came to check on everyone at the end of the evening. Overall it was a good experience and I'd go back. read more

This is one amazing French Restaurant in the Charleston SC area. The food, the amazing crew, and the dining area makes you feel like you're in Paris. The French wine was right on spot. Every dishes on the menu can not go wrong. They use NO seed oils!!! A plus in my book. They use Olive Oil, real butter and wine in their cooking. I ordered an appetizer which was French Onion Soup. It was the best onion soup I ever put in my mouth. I forgot to take the picture because I was enjoying it so much. I also ordered King Oyster Mushrooms with Risotto, Cherry Demi and Truffle. Smacking good. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Crab cakes are as good as any I've had Maryland and I lived there 12 years.

First, two of us got the flounder , which was absolutely delicious. Three other people got the duck and only one was satisfactory, the other two were dry and over-cooked. My Bibb salad was also delicious. And then, when we requested another bottle of wine, they had run out. Really ? So a mixed bag I guess I would return to get the flounder and salad as both were delicious. read more

Overpriced and just average. Went twice and disappointed with the food both times. And don't get sucker into the $50 cheese fondue appetizer! read more

This is the hardest review I have ever written. I wanted to love this place so bad. Service gets beyond five stars. Ms. Wendy is the sweetest ever. The wine was hands down amazing and the shrimp appetizer was spot on. Unfortunately it stopped there. French onion soup was flat. I had to add salt to eat it. Escargot tasted of herbs and not that amazing garlicky taste you want. The crab cakes, which we went there for, were fishy, not fresh tasting. So much potential. We did not complain because it was edible. I am not giving up on them and you should not either. First impression was not great however it could be great. read more

I am a lover of Ville Sainte Bistro's food, owners staff and customers. Jared is an amazing chef, love his crab cakes. Once or twice a week I eat here. I love the family feel, all ages and regulars. I am British, Carole the chef is French, Mark her husband is Mark and quite a character. Philippe is a partner and keeps things running smoothly. Family. Brigitte is amazing as a server. Food is great. My favorites are the French onion soup, muscles, duck and the Dauphinoise, delicious. I am particularly happy when they crisp the cheese. Can't wait to return. read more

We had six adults and three kids and all but two entrees were over salted. The kids didn't even want to finish their food.

The food was good until the OWNER came to our table to accuse one in our party of 4 of putting his hand in his daughter's face when he asked for ketchup. He was very rude and ruined the dining experience and our appetites from then on. He has had a chance to reconcile the experience but hasn't. read more

I was really looking forward to eating here as it has been on our list for quite some time. Doesn't look like much, located in a shopping center and google maps sent us seriously the weirdest way possible. I was so excited since it's softy season and Ville Sainte was one of the first to get them. So, of course I order the soft shell crab and I have to be honest, I was underwhelmed, they saute them, they don't fry them like everyone and it isn't the best preparation. My husband had the crab cakes and they were out of this world! The fondue appetizer was well worth the 25 minute wait and the chevre chaud (warm goat cheese) salad was also good. Service was very good, we were a large party and they were definitely pushed to the limit with us. I will go back and eat off the regular menu - maybe get those crab cakes as they were truly incredible. read more

We had not been for a year since we have not gotten to the beach. We returned tonight and it was as good if not better than our last visit. My wife and friends had the Flounder Maison and it was perfect in all aspects with flavor, presentation and food temperature. I had a special of veal. We told it was the Chef's grandmother's family recipe. The veal was very tender with a brown sauce. The surprise was the addition of horseradish into the sauce giving it a lovely flavor in the back of the mouth. Service was attentive. read more

Fantastic evening and experience at Ville Sainte Bistro. Highly recommend. Everything was so fresh, so rich, yet so light. Amazing French countryside cooking. read more

Bread service $6-for warmed-up piece of store baguette which anywhere else would be complimentary. overpriced wine list. Burrata salad was overpowered by balsamic vinegar and lacked promised truffle oil. Cod was baked well with few shrimp on a top but the whole dish had no flavor, lacking even salt and pepper. The place lacks French charm. read more

Outstanding ! Hands down best meal I have had in years . Tucked away in an old shopping center : this place is a hidden gem . We are very choosy about date night and this place did not disappoint. There is NO need to go downtown for amazing food . Just head over to Ville . It is an experience. My only regret is that we didn't tell the waitress about our time crunch . We were there from 6:30-8:50 and had to get our kid at 9:00 . I would have loved to have dessert. So I have something to look forward to next time . I will for sure be back . read more

Interesting but surprised that only half full on a Friday evening. Attentive server, bold menu, nice wine selection.

One of the better, if not the best, restaurants in Mt. Pleasant. Their entrees are unique and well prepared, the service is always on point, and the ambiance is symbolic of a French cafe. What else can you ask for!! read more

If you have not tried this hidden gem in Mt Pleasant you are missing out. The service was amazing. Even though we opted to have dinner at the bar we were well attended to with amazing service, suggestions and exquisite food. The wine list was extensive and we were very pleased with the pairings suggested for the dishes we ordered. The French onion soup was divine! This has become a new favorite. Authentic, delicious and memorable. read more

Disappointing - wish I would have noticed the low health department score before I ate here. Ouch. Service was friendly, although a bit slow, which did cause a problem. Escargot and French Onion soup was outstanding, served with ordinary French bread. Wines are all French with a generous markup. Nothing special. I ordered flounder, which should be local and therefore fresh, but was bad and many bites very fishy. There weren't many people in the restaurant - perhaps it sat in the refrigerator for a few days. No one checked on us for a long time, so I just ate some of it. When the server checked back, I informed her of the problem, but it was too late - I am not going to make my whole party wait on me. No apology, no accommodation. Server talked to someone (chef?, manager?, owner?) but they didn't choose to talk to our table. For a city like Charleston with numerous outstanding restaurants, you can find better options. read more

This probably is my favorite french restaurant in the greater Charleston area. Ville Sainte has an impressive menu with a diversity of offerings, and each item that we ordered was uniquely flavorful. That they are farm-to-table just adds to the overall appeal. read more
