Azur Burger was terrible very dry. no flavor. The beef burgundy was no good. The waiters had a terrible attitude from jump Street. The owner and whoever he was stayed on his phone the entire time and spoke to none of the clients. Possibly the manager. We've been traveling around here for four days, This was the bottom of the barrel. Furthermore, I believe most of these reviews came from family and friends not honest customers.. read more

We had the pleasure of dining here 2 separate times over an extended weekend trip. Host very welcoming and nurturing. Finds your table, if you arrive early for a reservation we had luck with them seating us and he says a kind goodbye as we left each time. Nice list of 3 mocktails so even if not consuming alcohol one can look to play the part at the table and enjoy the flavor notes of a well made cocktail. The first meal we had was a bit of a work/get together meal. We ordered an assortment of items off of the menu and created a more tapas menu. The charcuterie board we picked the cheeses for and it was lovely. All as expected and quite surprised to find a cheddar I enjoyed. Came with some grapes, figs, nuts, honey and I think mustard. Glazed carrots were phenomenal. Heartily enjoyed the beet salad and thought the presentation was quite pretty. Lamb lettuce wraps are alright. Not my favorite of all the dishes served but delivered as promised, nicely cooked and presented. Spouse really liked the lamb wraps and were a stand out dish to them. Meatballs are excellent truly great texture and flavor. Escargot was a fun take on a classic dish. Finished with a unique strudel in its presentation it was quite pleasant. Spouse liked the peanut butter chocolate dessert. For brunch, I had the carrot ginger soup. Which I must say was a total delight. The soup had the hallmark texture and base flavor of the carrot ginger but it had a beautiful breath of savory and some heat seasoning wise to it. It was quite an elevated soup and heartily enjoyed! I followed the carrot soup with a French toast. I am all for softly scrambled eggs but the French toast was a touch undercooked. (I did not let the restaurant know or give them the chance to make right. I regularly eat soft boiled eggs and soft scrambled so I felt comfortable with consuming them.) Strawberries were ripe and tasty. The whipped cream was gorgeous in thickness and flavor. One in law had the caesar salad with croutons and grilled chicken. Their bowl was left clean so while they are not the talkative of sorts they did seem to enjoy it. Ordered a baguette with butter. Unfortunately the butter never made it to the table but the baguette was enjoyed. Spouse had the Azur burger with the side of tapas style potatoes. All was cooked properly to temperature and texture. Flavor and taste as promised. Wasn't their favorite dish at Azur as we had tried so many lovely dishes a few evenings before. But it did deliver on what was represented in the menu. Other in law had the quiche and a side salad. They liked the quiche and would order it again. read more

Came here when our original plan didn't work out. Scrambled to find a place in the area on a Friday night. It's a beautiful space, but quite empty on a Friday night, not the best sign. Ordered the charcuterie board, which was 5 items for $45. I expected bigger portion for that price. It is definitely not a good value for your money. The goat cheese salad was delicious and simple. The baguette with EVOO was good, but also not worth nearly $10. Overall, the food was fine, but expect to pay Michelin-level prices, and I am not sure that's justified. read more

If I could give Azur 10 stars, I would. Hands down, one of the best meals and experiences we've had in Charleston. It was our first time here and all I can say is, WOW. We will absolutely be coming back again next trip! It's a cute little spot with pretty decor and a nice outdoor seating area with heaters. The sweet welcome we received when we checked in at the front was a great sign of the service to come. We were a party of 4 (make a reservation!) and were seated immediately and put in our drink orders. Our server was super knowledgeable and joked around with us, too. She had great recommendations and we took every piece of advice she had. The food was all SO GOOD. We had the beet salad, bread and olive oil, bread and whipped ricotta, Boeuf en Croute, caprese ravioli + prosciutto, affogato and a peanut butter bliss dessert. I'm drooling just thinking about this. The Boeuf en Croute was probably the best all 4 of us have ever had - and the gravy that it came with, holy cow. I even dipped one of my ravioli in it because it was THAT good. It's definitely not a touristy spot, and the locals we spoke to at the table next to us really appreciated that. read more

We stopped into Azur for a late lunch after a Garden and Gun event, and although it was our first visit, it will absolutely not be our last. Every dish placed before us was outstanding, from the seafood crepes to the smoked salmon crepes to the patatas bravas, and even the desserts we barely had room for but could not bring ourselves to leave without trying. We elected to dine outdoors on their private patio as the day was so beautiful. Perfect choice. One unusually delightful surprise was the tea. This was not standard sweet tea by any stretch. Our waitress offered to mix simple syrup into their hibiscus tea, and we went with that, and it was divine. I recommend it without the proverbial lemon wedge for the record. I have shared images of the massive platters of lunch we received. There was no single standout because everything was equally exceptional. Parking is easy in the adjoining garage, and the surrounding area is filled with very good small business shopping, all walkable from Azur. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Fun and delicious French influenced dining in Charleston! The food highlight for us was the beet salad, we are big fans and we thought this one was the best we've had. Escargot is served in puff pastry, very good, but we prefer the traditional butter and garlic. Foie Gras was super, served with some fruit condiments. We also enjoyed the eggplant gratin, lots of nice cheese with the eggplant. For desert we enjoyed the Peanut butter mousse, rich and delicious. We will definitely come back next time we are in Charleston. read more

My three friends and I were looking for a dinner spot for Saturday night. We found Azur and made a reservation. The place is very nicely decorated and we were seated very promptly. Our server was fantastic and gave excellent recommendations - we shared several dishes - the charcuterie board was phenomenal. The ptit basque was absolutely unreal. We also shared ratatouille, the ricotta zucchini gratin, and the duck leg confit. All were phenomenal, especially the fried Brussels sprouts and potatoes that were on the side of the duck leg confit. The drinks were also great. I had the Papillon and then tried the Parasol. By far the best meal we had in Charleston, and probably one of the best meals I've had in recent memory. Absolutely top notch service and extremely delicious food. My only complaint is that I wish we had saved room for dessert! read more

I kinda want to give these guys a bad review so I can keep them to myself. The food, service, and experience were amazing! Self proclaimed "European" food, they have dishes from all over. We ordered the tuna Crudo, burrata, and mussels. The mussels do not come with bread, so highly rec ordering a baguette to soak up the mussel broth. The oh la la and pallino were tasty cocktails and look forward to trying more selections on thur when they are on special. read more

Azur is one of our favorite restaurants, which we will frequently visit. It's a cozy little French restaurant, just a step away from King street. There is even a parking garage nearby. The inside vibe is welcoming and I love the cool blue color. There is a nice long bar to sit at, then different tables inside, or sit outside when the weather is nice. We are always greeted by a friendly staff, first upon entering then by our server. The cocktail menu is appealing with many different wine choices, beers, and great cocktails by Mathis. I've enjoyed a few including the Riviera, the Lavandou, and my favorite the Last Word. My husband always getting Ze Old Fashioned, which is smoked right before serving. The food menu features small plates inspired by French, Italian and Spanish cuisine. There are many great sharable appetizers. Our last visit we sat at the bar and enjoyed the carpaccio beets, which was fantastic. A beautiful presentation of thin sliced beets, with arugala and whipped ricotta. We also enjoyed the eggplant gratin delight, and lamb meatballs. On previous visits we've enjoyed different entrees, my favorite is the beef burgundy. No visit would be complete without a dessert, and this time the peanut butter bliss served excellent flavor. We definitely would recommend visiting Azur, as their menu has a great variety that will satisfy everyone's taste. Appreciate that Charleston has this contemporary and inviting restaurant. read more

AZUR is a cute and cozy restaurant tucked away just off King street. I was in town by myself and was looking for a place that was friendly to solo diners. It was a rainy night, but boy I'm glad I stumbled across this place. The bar is beautiful and I was able to grab a seat there easily. I ordered the Lavendou drink which was fabulous. Next I had the French onion soup which was quite possibly the best I've ever had (and I've had many at various high end restaurants) it was 10/10. Next I had the burrata which was very good as well. I would have liked more tomatoes, but still the flavors were great 8/10. After hearing through a local man I befriended at the bar that the owner is a pastry chef, I had to get dessert. And I'm so glad I did! Andrew's cheesecake was OUTSTANDING 10/10, honestly one of the lightest cheesecakes I've ever had. Yum. Everything was divine and the ambiance was perfect. Don't skip dessert here! I will definitely be back next time I'm in Charleston. read more

Twice I've been and twice I've been charmed by the genuine delight that is Azur. Azur is a place where I have been greeted by an open door, a warm smile, and a genuine "Welcome in!". The restaurant is not very large, but standard size for most Charleston locations. The blown glass fixtures shaped like moving bubbles, the golds, teals, and aquamarine colors give a soothing vibe, and the chairs are comfy. It is a great place for a meal. The food is absolutely delicious. The first time I ordered the burger, which is not a burger. It is a shredded beef burgundy on with raclette cheese on a croissant bun. I've never been so happy not to have a burger! It was decadent, rich, and an explosion of savory flavor kept in check by the humble tomato. I was able to thank the chef that visit as he came out to visit with a couple at the bar. It was soooo good! The second visit I had the caprese ravioli and again was wildly impressed. The sundried tomatoes danced a perfect tango against the richness of the cheese and that sauce! I mopped it up with bread from our delightfully curated meat and cheese plate. Our waitress recommended it to us and it was a hit! Our waitress for the second visit was delightful. She was engaging, involved, and provided unscripted recommendations based on her experiences, her favorites. In a growing AI produced world where everything is polished and sanitized having that human connection is vital. The first experience was not as charming. I sat at the bar near a couple who had been there. It became obvious that these two were known by the staff as employees would come out and talk with them. I get it, it is always nice to catch-up and as a regular at various restaurants I understand the appeal. I'm a visitor, I will rarely be back but they may be there often. That said, would've been nice to have been checked in on once in awhile instead of feeling like a background character in a dining scene. The bartender would take a cursory look over and perform obligated duties but I felt very much like a second-hand thought until the couple left. By then I was almost out the door myself but was simply put back in a warm mood by the gentleman who opened the door for me and thanked me for coming in. Great experience and certainly would recommend again! read more

This is the 2nd time I have been to this fabulous spot, once for apps and drinks and this time for brunch. This is a nicely chic decorated establishment that is family owned. They a located about a block off of King St. The food today was absolutely fabulous and I loved my BLT croissant (so much that I dove into it). The croissant and the perfect texture and buttery flavor, the bacon was crisp and tasty, fresh butter lettuce, avocado, and house mayo (I left the Swiss off since it isn't my jam).The greens salad that it came with and the dressing they applied (vinaigrette) was a great addition). The patas bravas with house made tomato aioli satisfied my breakfast potato craving and I was in heaven as every potato was perfectly browned and cooked dusted with a pleasant seasoning. I had a espresso martini (since I already had my morning hot coffee) which was well made. The dessert was Millie's favorite which was chocolate mousse, raspberry, almond crust, a cookie/cake like base, covered in whipped cream and chocolate. Devine! When you walk in their desserts are showcased in a class case and are definitely a well deserved attention grabber. I definitely got all of my cravings satisfied in this meal today and it was so good I won't feel guilty and back to working out tomorrow. Definitely come check this spot out during your visit to Charleston. read more

Food is always 10/10. The Brie is to die for. Great deal on mussels, and the meatballs are very good

Don't miss a Raclette Dinner at Azur! What a treat this decadent spread was, taking us back to the streets of Paris. It was such a fun experience for my colleagues and myself to DIY raclettes. The setup made the perfect bubbly cheese to drizzled over the baguette bites, prosciutto, and bottomless potatoes. It was so easy to use and left me wanting one for the house! The staff was incredibly accommodating with our last minute double raclette dining request. It felt like a true European restaurant where you have the table for the night and enjoy lots of wine and good conversation for hours. This gem is ideal for an intimate date night, a friends gather, or a business dinner. I can't wait to return to try some cute cocktails at the bar. read more

A Perfect Evening of Food, Drinks, and Atmosphere We had an absolutely fantastic dining experience Saturday night. From start to finish, everything was on point. We started with the mussels in great sauce -- fresh, tender, and perfectly cooked, with a broth so flavorful we ended up dipping our fries into it just to savor every last drop. Speaking of fries, they were crispy and golden, exactly how you want them. We also ordered the beef burgundy with tagliatelle, and it did not disappoint. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the sauce was rich and savory, beautifully coating the pasta without overpowering it. But the pasta was good enough by itself. Every bite was comforting and delicious. To finish off the meal, the crème brûlée was silky smooth with the perfect crack of caramelized sugar on top -- a classic done exceptionally well. And the drinks -- hands down some of the best old fashions. Balanced, smooth, and crafted with care. The bartender was not only skilled but also friendly and attentive, adding a great personal touch to the whole evening. Between the amazing food, stellar drinks, and the warm, welcoming service, this is definitely a spot I'll be recommending to friends and coming back to soon. read more

This place is really special! Walking in I was amazed at the very thoughtful touches and the high-end decor. Such a BEAUTIFUL ambiance! Greeted by the owners who are French which I enjoyed they were so happy to be there. My husband and I came in for drinks specifically. We were visiting from Florida. Our bartender Mathis who was the owners son; he made our experience awesome! He was charismatic and very welcoming. We all conversed and shared laughs and he told us their family history and how they came about with this establishment. Even though we didn't eat dinner (which we regret as we were full from another restaurant) The drinks were AMAZING! A very diverse drink menu. Every drink was made with intent and memorable. Thank you Mathis for being a great mixologist. We will be back! read more

AZUR - Andrew's Cheesecake - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Before visiting Charleston, my husband and I watched several videos about things to see or do...and most importantly, where to eat! As a good Yelper, I dutifully bookmarked places so I would remember them and Azur was on my list. We had walked the length of King Street and were heading back to the hotel thinking about food. Consulting my bookmarks, I saw that Bar 167 was right near us so we walked over that way but alas, there was already a wait line, even though it was early. Hopeful that we'd be able to try that another night, I saw that Azur was nearby and also in my bookmarks. We walked into a nearly empty restaurant (it was early) and they said they had two tables left, which was fortunate for because by the time we left they were completely packed...so I recommend making a reservation so you don't miss out! We were in that weird in-between stage where we weren't sure how hungry we were but we knew we were thirsty so cocktail orders went in immediately. Readers, can I tell you that my smoked old fashioned was only $10 because they had a happy hour special! It was smoked at the table and was delicious even more so because I know I'd pay twice that at home in NYC. We thought we'd start with a charcuterie plate and then if we were still hungry, we'd order something else, so we did a "build your own" plate with three cheeses and two meats. We also got an additional order of whipped brie with a baguette for good measure. Let me tell you what, that board filled up all four of us. The Italian salami and the roquefort cheeses were my standouts and I loved that they included grapes, figs and walnuts along with the meats & cheeses. Oh, and the whipped brie was outstanding. I'd never had it before but I am anxious to have it again. Because we didn't overdo dinner, we felt like we'd earned dessert. I had the peanut butter bliss which was like a peanut butter mousse coated in chocolate. It was delicious and surprisingly light. The standout for desserts was the apple strudel. Every named that the favorite of the evening. Service was exceptional from beginning to end. Really just a masterclass in hospitality. We never felt rushed, the pacing was right, the communication was excellent. All in all a terrific dining experience which confirms for me that Charleston is a serious food town. read more

The ambiance of the place is beautiful. Very intimate but quite a bit of seating available. We were skeptical at first of the ratings, as looking to book anytime Wednesday-Saturday had a LOT of availability on Resy. However, the food and service was absolutely top notch. Our waitress was extremely helpful in deciding which plates to order and had great recommendations. We ordered the goat cheese and baguette, beets, tuna crudo, duck leg confit, and ratatouille. All were good, but the goat cheese baguette, beets, and tuna crudo were absolutely amazing! The dessert we chose was a raspberry cheesecake which was phenomenal as well. Absolutely would recommend this place for anybody looking for excellent food and a cozy, intimate atmosphere that feels elevated. read more

We ordered cocktails and they did take a little to come to the table but they were all so delicious.

The beef Wellington was cooked to perfection highly recommend ordering that Warm goat cheese salad was so plain it was not worth it - the goat cheese was on the crostinis with lettuce. Escargot was great in a puff pastry with so much flavor and great presentation. Would go back to try more of this but we had such a lovely time! read more

I was in with my fiancée for our anniversary dinner last night and it we had an incredible time. With both of us being from out of town, we both went into the evening with high hopes, and promises of the Charleston food scene. Azur, did not disappoint in the slightest. It excelled expectations. Our server, Carington, was delightful, gave us a great suggestion on the lamb wraps, and was helpful, but also let us enjoy our time/each other. Azur itself is tiny with limited tables, and a great music selection. We never had to raise our voices to speak with each other, but also didn't feel the need to speak in a hushed voice. Also, a great martini from the gentleman behind the bar with glasses. 11/10 time. Thank you, Azur. We will be back. read more

I met a friend for dinner before we headed to a show at Dock Street Theater. The first thing to know is that the Majestic Square parking garage is conveniently close to Azur (if you're not within walking distance or braving street parking). My dining companion had made our reservation and I arrived a few minutes early. It was nice that Azur seated me right away. The restaurant is cozy inside but does not feel cramped. The ambience was nicely quiet (neither uncomfortably silent or way too loud). The service was friendly, unhurried but efficient; appropriately attentive. We were graciously given extra time to order when asked, and then our food came out quite quickly after we ordered. We were offered more drinks and our server brought the bill quickly when we lost track of time and needed to hurry off to the show. We ordered a variety of items to share and I appreciated the server asking if were okay to have the food out in any order. Now on to the food. I started with a mocktail (Lavender Honey) and then switched to a glass of Sancerre. Both were very nice. We ordered the pan con tomate y jamon; ahi tuna crudo; warm goat cheese salad; and ricotta zucchini gratin. The pan con tomate was the highlight for me, but everything was tasty. The portions for these items were just right for two ladies. We had some food left over, but not a huge amount. I would happily return to Azur and would recommend it to others looking for an upscale dinner downtown that offers something other than traditional Southern food. read more

Azur has successfully captured the essence of European cuisine in a tapas format- my visit was a delightful experience. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very pretty- the bar is beautiful and their outdoor patio would be ideal for an afternoon in sunny Charleston. Our service was exceptional, with a staff that went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. The waitstaff was knowledgeable about the menu, providing insightful recommendations and even guiding us through the nuances of the European plates. Their attentiveness and genuine enthusiasm for the cuisine was one of the best parts of our evening. We ordered the Lamb Wrap, the Italian Meatballs, Mussels of the Week, Mousse of Duck Foie Gras, Whipped Ricotta, and an extra side of bread. I enjoyed the mussels cooked in a white cream sauce, although my boyfriend said he was partial to traditionally cooked mussels in butter. The meatballs were delicious, but the Foie Gras left more to be desired. The attention to detail in the presentation was commendable as all of our plates looked delicious. The portion sizes were ideal for sharing, fostering a convivial atmosphere that is quintessentially European. I would love to return to Azur to try their meat and cheese selection as that also looks very good. In conclusion, Azur is a great spot for a small bite or wine night with friends. The combination of delectable dishes, charming ambiance, and impeccable service ranks this place well in my book. read more

As someone who is lactose intolerant, nearly their entire dinner menu was off limits for me. I got the meatballs and a side of the olive oil pasta, which was fine but not worth coming back for or recommending. They had a dessert martini that was devineeeee. I might go back just for that. Ordered bread for the table and everyone loved the cheesy focaccia but I thought the baguette and butter and olive oil was pretty underwhelming. Im no stranger to ordering a second round of bread and butter when it's delicious (like at NICO) but I probably wouldn't order again as an appetizer if I went again. I might just not be into French food enough to be a fan but the rest of the group enjoyed their meals. read more

This was my first visit, but definitely not my last. Very friendly and happy ambiance. Small intimate space. Although close, still felt a sense of privacy. Everyone who worked there was so friendly and welcoming. The owners, Eleni, our Sommelier, the servers all made our experience a great one. They have a very nice size bar area, and an inviting patio area. We came for the Wednesday wine tasting and sampled three great wines. Ordered a medium sized charcuterie board because why not? With the bread and sides that come with the board, it was filling, but we needed a little more. So, we ordered the meatballs to share. Oh, they were good! So meaty and made to perfection. Of course, we now needed something else to rinse it all down and spoke with our sommelier for her suggestion on cocktails. I went with the Ouh Là Là and my friend had the Papillon. Both equally delicious and just the right touch to end our evening. read more

One of the best meals we had in Charleston . The drinks are among the best drinks I've had, at all, period. Bees knees and passion fruit foam .. to die for. We tried a bunch of things on the menu. The salmon, with blini, sour cream and onions, was really good. The fish was yummy, the blini were soft, just the way they should be, and that extra bit of onion gives it just the right flavor and crunch . The zucchini gratin was also really good, very cheesy. It really hit the spot. The fois gras moose and warm bread was outstanding . Everything they served out with , the apricot jam, and everything else on the charcuterie board complemented it. Grapes, figs, dates, cranberries, all of it. You can't go wrong with Brie on croute. The honey underneath was perfect. Top notch dish Overall everything was truly delicious and I wouldn't hesitate to go back or recommend it read more

A pleasant surprise. It's what we hope to find when we try a new place to dine. Azur is most definitely a pleasant surprise! Nestled in a small nook near the Charleston Market this charming, unpretentious Euro Cafe just exudes style and class. It is located in a building with a parking garage which makes it extremely convenient to go here. Seriously make a reservation as seating is a premium due to its small cozy size. Azur means blue in French and the deep rich blue tones coupled with some stunning yellow globe lights really sets the mood. We decided to enjoy their brunch options and enjoy we did! My wife, a big fan of spicy drinks, of course ordered the El Picante, a delightful concoction using their house Jalapeno infused tequila. It had a zesty back heat that tickled the tongue and warmed her up after trudging through the snow we had just had a few days ago. I could not resist the Ze Old Fashioned, a smoked old fashioned fired up tableside. The smokiness permeated the drink and made for a great start for our meal! A side note, the drink is usually not found on the brunch menu, but I was told you could order any drink brunch or dinner, and they would make it for you which was a nice touch. I decided to try their Croque Madam which came with a fresh salad as a side. One of the best I have had with bread that was just right, not too bready but substantial enough to provide a great base. The ham was smoky and flavorful and who doesn't like a perfectly runny egg spreading its golden goodness all over the sandwich. The salad was tart and a great palate cleanser helping to bring down the yummy richness. My wife is a huge quiche fan and had to try The Spinach and Goat Cheese Quiche. It arrived not as a slice but as a whole mini pie with a golden-brown crust and absolutely teaming with goat cheese. One of the best she said as she enjoyed every savory bite. We had to try the Patatas Bravas which were fried to a nice crisp and served with a tomato aioli which was so good I wish they would bottle it, they would make a fortune! Since the chef is also a French pastry chef dessert was definitely a requirement. We shared a Millie's Favorite, a dish beloved by the owner's daughter. Rich and decadent chocolate mousse, swirled with raspberry jam, crusted with almonds and topped with fresh raspberries which despite being rich a amazingly light and airy. I could find no complaints as the service, friendliness, freshness of food and the obvious pride the staff has of their product will have you coming back again and again! read more

Our first time here and it did not disappoint. Since we didn't have a reservation, we sat at the bar for an hour having drink drinks, which were only $10 each and then an appetizer before moving to a table where we enjoyed a delicious dinner. Several of us got the French onion soup, as well as the warm goat cheese salad. Delish! Their thin, french fries are amazing as well. The atmosphere has a very cool vibe and Matisse does a great job making the drinks and running the place. He just needs to order some matchboxes now. Highly recommend! read more
