    Goat cheese salad
    Kat J.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Mussels

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Service was pretty good. The ambiance is the most striking and unique - feels very cozy and aesthetically modern while feeling European. Food was pretty good. The apps were the most appealing and flavorful, would come back for those, the aesthetic and drinks. 8.5/10

    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.

    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!

Don't let the name deter you if you are not a gin person because they have many options with different types of liquors. One tip: sit at the bar if you can, the set up is stunning especially for taking photos! The cocktail menu was moderately extensive with two full pages of complex and simple cocktails. Honestly, it was so difficult to choose what drink to get because I wanted to get everything on the menu. The bartenders were so attentive and talented - their implementation of each cocktail was even better than the menu descriptions. Not only were the drinks delicious but also beautifully presented. They have some bar bites as well as quite a few small and large plates, we got the pretzels which to my absolute surprise were so good! If I ever go back to Charleston, I will definitely be hitting this place up.

You can tell the bartenders know exactly what they're doing. The surprise star of the night, though, was the grilled cheese. Calling it a grilled cheese almost feels unfair because this thing was next-level. Perfectly crisp on the outside, rich and gooey on the inside, and paired with the cocktails so well that we were talking about it long after we left. Sometimes the simplest thing on a menu ends up stealing the show. The atmosphere strikes that perfect Charleston balance of classy, cozy, and effortlessly cool. Great service, great drinks, and one of the most memorable grilled cheese sandwiches I've ever had. If you're in Charleston and appreciate a serious cocktail program, The Gin Joint is a must-visit. Come for the drinks, stay because the grilled cheese will ruin lesser grilled cheeses for the rest of your life

We made the reservation months in advance and the morning of, they advised that our reservation was cancelled. Scrambling to find plans and hopefully a pool, one of the girls in our group called Little Palm and they were SO accommodating with our situation and welcomed us. We cannot thank them enough. When we first arrived we sat down and had brunch. I ordered the LP double cheeseburger and the matcha latte. The matcha latte was unimpressive but the cheeseburger was delicious. It hit the spot, especially after a night out. The yucca fries were delicious as well. The portions of all the dishes were great and everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. After we ate, we went over to the pool area and by this point the rain showers were over. Once again, the staff was so nice. Made sure we had towels available and just really turned our day around.

We sat at the indoor bar, and our bartender was great. The drinks themselves were really good. My Hugo Spritz was excellent, and so was the Silk Sheets. They clearly put a lot into the cocktail program, with tons of syrups, ingredients, and more elaborate drinks on the menu. Unfortunately, the service was incredibly slow, and it seemed very clear that this was not our bartender's fault. The indoor bartender was handling the guests sitting at her bar, service tickets, and drinks for the pool. Meanwhile, the outdoor bartender seemed to have very little going on. Granted, it was over 98 degrees outside, but the workload just seemed really uneven. When we first arrived, it was literally us and one other gentleman at the bar. He wanted an espresso martini or something similar, but apparently the coffee bar had already been shut down for the day. I don't remember the exact reason. They did make it happen for him, which was nice, but it also meant our bartender had yet another thing she had to go out of her way to figure out. What made the wait especially frustrating was that the bar was not busy at the time. It took us around 10 to 15 minutes just to order our drinks, and she didn't actually get a full bar until about 3 to 5 minutes after we finally received them. So this wasn't a situation where she was overwhelmed by a packed bar. She was running out of ice, waiting on things she needed, handling pool and service tickets, and trying to work around a setup that just did not seem efficient. It honestly started to feel almost obnoxious to want to order another round because you could see how much unnecessary work went into making each drink. Again, that is not a criticism of the bartender. She was great and seemed to be doing everything she could. The issue was the setup and flow behind the bar. If you are going to have such an extensive cocktail program, with that many syrups, ingredients, and specialty drinks, the bartenders need to be set up in a way that allows them to actually execute it efficiently. The atmosphere was nice, the drinks we had were great, and I would absolutely give this place another chance. I just hope they figure out a better system because the bartender should not have to work that hard to overcome the setup.
