From chef, cookbook author and PBS star, Vivian Howard, LENOIR reminds people that the South is a nuanced place with a storied history and disparate terrain that shapes us as well as our food traditions. Here we cook to perpetuate, honor and evolve the cuisine of the rural, agricultural South, and we back it up with hospitality that buys into the idea that food with a story tastes better. Named for Vivian’s home county in eastern North Carolina, LENOIR exalts the pillars of Southern hospitality and leaves people feeling like they are guests in our home rather than patrons in our restaurant.

    Last minute decision to go out and all three in our party agreed that we had an excellent meal. We were attended to in a laid back way that did not make us feel rushed. Highlights included the burrata, twice baked potato, and hand-cut fries. House cocktails were so fun! Validated parking also made it easy.

    Great Birthday celebration for my college girls of over 30 years. Bridgett was an amazing server. She knew all the dishes and described them perfectly. We all made great selections. Tomato pie and pork chop fan favorites.

    2 oz of steak and fries? $44? Stay away from the fried collards, that was $9. Great atmosphere and location. Staff was great.

    We had the most amazing dining experience to celebrate a birthday! All staff members worked in concert to provide the highest level of hospitality and accommodated our every request. We would like to especially express our gratitude to Brenna our server for her personal menu recommendations and insights. Each course of our meal was created to our desires and presented with grace. Outstanding food, ambience, service and attention to detail made our special evening a fantastic experience!

    We wanted to eat at Vivian Howard’s restaurant so we could finally taste some of her delicious looking recipes we’d seen on the PBS series “A Chef’s Life”. We were not disappointed!!! I was excited to try the wings with blueberry BBQ sauce. YUM! And the peculiar pork chop was the best pork chop I’ve ever tasted. The service was great! Very warm and friendly. We’ll be back when in Charleston! Love you Vivian!
