"Great food, fast, friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and reasonably priced. Can’t recommend enough! The only aspect that may be off putting for some, is the seating arrangement is a bit tight. You sit at counters which results in you sitting right next to other dinners. I kinda liked it though."

"Came here for lunch and was immediately greeted. The place has a cozy, cool vibe. Everything on the menu sounded amazing, it was so hard to choose! I ordered the Open-Faced Sandwich Provençal, and it was absolutely delicious! The salad with vinaigrette was outstanding, I’ll most definitely be back!"

"TL;DR: One of the best lunches I’ve had in Charleston. Ordered the Special of the Day—a ham, cheese, apple, and pickled onion sandwich on baguette bread—served with potato soup and a choice of house wine, French press coffee, or tea. The sandwich was outstanding, with perfectly balanced flavors and textures, while the soup was underwhelming and bland. Service was quick and efficient. Overall, excellent value for the price and well worth a visit. --- As of this writing, I can confidently say this is one of the best places I’ve eaten at in Charleston. I stopped in for lunch and ordered the Special of the Day: ham, cheese, apple, and pickled onion on fresh baguette bread. This also came with a soup—my choice was potato—and a drink selection of house wine, French press coffee, or tea. The sandwich was absolutely exceptional. The combination of crispy baguette, tart apple, rich cheese, savory ham, and tangy pickled onion created a perfect balance of flavors and textures. Each bite had contrast and depth, making it one of the most memorable sandwiches I’ve ever had. The potato soup, however, was less impressive. It lacked seasoning and depth of flavor, tasting more like starchy potato water than a well-developed soup. A bit more seasoning and richness would have greatly improved it. The staff were quick, attentive, and efficient, making for a smooth dining experience. Considering the reasonable price, the meal offered excellent value—delicious food (especially the sandwich), pleasant service, and an inviting atmosphere."

"The food was very disappointing. The soup was served cold (not sure of the “French” style) and the chicken with rice was unfortunately even below a simple home-cooked standard. The servers seemed extremely busy and did not offer the level of service one would expect for a comfortable dining experience. Overall, it was not an enjoyable meal."

"My friend and I were desperate for something to eat/drink on one of the hottest days of the summer and decided to stop in here. It was very fresh, flavorful, and fun! I normally avoid dairy however that is hard to do in a French bistro and nevertheless, it was delicious. I had the banana gazpacho, toasted baguette topped with brie and fig jam, and a slice of honeydew on the side. My friend had the same platter substituted with french onion soup. We completed it with a Perrier, iced coffee, and fruity mocktail. Service was fast and friendly despite how busy they were. Thanks Gaulart & Maliclet!"
