Maison's cuisine is inspired by classic French fare recreated with a breath of modernity and local influence. Tradition meets au courant innovation. The space is intimate and paralleled with energy.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Vandy Vanderwarker

From the OpenTable editors: Charleston's favourite escape to Paris is via this bustling bistro with a romantic blue patio. Feast on updated classics like steak tartare with a shiitake vinaigrette or escargots with ramp butter, alongside a wine list that zips through the Loire Valley and other famed regions and cocktails favouring Chartreuse and St-Germain. Eater, Thrillist, Condé Nast Traveler, and lots of local outlets can't stop heaping praise on this place.

    Excellent food, amazing service. Our party shared the salmon rillette and escargot. We individually had the flounder, trout, and steak. Every dish was perfection- I only wish we had more. We cannot wait to return.

    A fun evening, of which the highlights were: First class server - she was well-schooled on the menu and the wine-list; very nice hostess; some very good French wines by the glass, in addition to the bottles; perfectly-dressed salads.

    The food and service were amazing! The Monkfish and Burger were awesome! Every single person that worked there greeted us with a smile and were so considerate of our needs. A definite AAA+ experience.

    Great dinner. Food was excellent overall and service was very prompt and polite if not a little too prompt (the pace could have been slower). We'll definitely be back.
