   Great meal along with service. Enjoy sitting at the bar as it’s a very eclectic crowd. We enjoy going late in the evening.

   Outstanding dinner! The French onion soup was delicious. I had the steak fritz which was a little small but delicious. Enjoyed a bottle of wine and had some bourbon for an after drink w dessert. Highly recommend. We had a high top table next to the cooks.

    This was the fifth or sixth time we came to this restaurant, and the first time we sat in the dining room as opposed to dining at the chefs counter or the bar. Obviously, we like the place and last night we wanted to share our new favorite “go to” with friends. I’m sorry to say that it was meh. Really, the food was fine and the service was ok, given the labor difficulties everyone is having these days. But there are too many great restaurants in Charleston for this standard to be acceptable. We’ll be back, but probably not right away.

    We found the service to be uneven. For example we waited a long time for drinks only to have our appetizer arrive right away!😟 Also, dessert was slow to be delivered and finally we received 2 desserts when only 1 was ordered!😬

    Received a txt that table was ready, which it wasn’t. Although there were other tables available,we were seated by service station.. The hangar steak serving I had was very tough,though flavor was good. French onion soup broth was very good, but cheese needed to be under broiler longer

    My husband and I have dined here multiple times together. We brought our daughter for her 18th bday and my in laws this time. I think it was our best experience yet (and they’ve all been AMAZING). Our waitress was amazing!!!!! From start to finish she was really helpful and engaging. All the food was delicious (our favorites were the cheese plate, duck, and crepe cake of course) the strawberry goat cheese ice cream was also super tasty!! Thank you for a memorable night.

    Meals ( steak frites and coq au vin with roasted Brussels sprouts) were delicious and well prepared. Dessert chocolate mousse excellent. Pretty little restaurant, noise level fine even though it was full. I would definitely come back.

    Living in the neighborhood, this is one of our favorites, especially for New Year’s Eve. The four of us enjoyed great service and cuisine! For my special New Year’s treat I had caviar with all the fixings, flounder and we all shared the pear tart dessert with ice-cream which was all so delicious. One of our group had duck which he loved and husband had the crab dip and then the hanger steak with fries that he enjoyed. The sides were so good! We shared a lovely bottle of Chateauneuf de Pape. The music was good and not intrusive and we could easily carry on a conversation even though the restaurant was at capacity. The manager Michael, and Brittany, Ashley and the entire staff were extremely accommodating, warm, welcoming and friendly! This is by no means our first visit and won’t be our last! Thank-you and Happy, Healthy New Year to all.

    Early NYE reservations, we had requested & booked the seating with a view of the chef preparing food. We got sat at a hightop beside the service well in a half full restaurant. After accepting our table fate I requested an egg white cocktail I saw on the website prior to coming & was told I had to go downstairs afterwards cause its a separate bar. When we tried to order mussels we were told they had a pace and we could order them once we got our cocktails. Outside of the arrogant staff that couldn’t be bothered - the food was spectacular and we enjoyed the dishes. Would recommend for cuisine but maybe sit at the bar.

    Had a great experience at Brasserie La Banque! Friendly staff, ample seating, and tasteful interior. Tried escargot for the first time! Loved the sauce it came in plus dipping in bread was tasty. Also opted for the dozen oysters featuring east coast varieties. The mixed greens salad was refreshing and my friend tried the bouillabaisse. The cocktail list is succinct and on point with the cuisine. Loads of wine options too. The star of the show was also the crepe cake! Not overly sweet and nice way to finish off the meal.

    Great, lovely service. Food was alright but extremely over salted. Has a wide variety of plates and each was over salted and beans in cassoulet were not warm. Disappointed with food. Might return for a drink at the upstairs bar but wouldn’t plan to eat there again with so many better options in Charleston.

    We had reservations, but arrived 30 min beforehand. The host was kind to acknowledge us. Let us know we could wait in the bar below the restaurant. As we entered what is the basement bar, there were no seats. We stood looking around and the bar tender loudly told us to move to the entrance and out of the way. Rude and embarrassing, but we obliged. As we stood there for at least 8 minutes a table got up and it was cleaned and we waited to be told by the bartender if we could take the seat. In the meantime someone walked up to the bar was acknowledged right away and helped. We were told we could sit in the clean tables. Waited a few more minutes ordered. When requesting the check, I had my credit card out. The bar tender acknowledged I needed the check and said she would be right back, but the table next to us waived their card, she took it and ran the card, brought their card and check while bringing our check back. It was apparent there was a clear difference in the bartenders service toward us. Our dinner service was amazing and the food was great. If it was not for this portion of our visit I would really have NOT enjoyed this first time visit.
