The Bellrose is a unique boutique upscale restaurant in downtown Charleston, located on Church Street. The design is a combination of old world and modern bathed in rich earth tone colors. They have a cute bar on one side which is divided from the dining room by a low pony wall. The bar back is made of dark wood and glass. The bartop is a gorgeous marble and seats about 8 people. The dining room has 3 velvet covered booths and individual tables for seating. The wait staff is decked out in tasteful brown and black tuxes
and they have impeccable service! We were immediately seated upon entering and greeted with a smile.
We were given complimentary glasses of champagne followed by a beef tartar with potato crisp amuse bouche. I'm not typically a tartar fan, but this tasted absolutely amazing.
For starters, I got the Little Gem Lettuce, and my husband got the classic Caesar salad. Both salads were larger than we expected. We could have shared. I loved my salad with shoe string cut apples toasted pecans, feta and a light vinegarette.
For our entrees, we both got the 8 oz filet mignon. It was perfectly cooked and was so tender, it melted like butter in my mouth. I got mine topped with the snow crab and we shared a side of maitaki mushrooms and potato puree. My husband got his filet with a rich peppercorn sauce. The mataki mushrooms were cooked to perfection with a deep rich, smoky flavor. The potato puree was scrumptious!
For dessert, we shared the tiramisu. OMG! It was absolutely delicious. One of the best tiramisus I've ever had.
The prices are on the high-end, but we were celebrating my birthday. I highly recommend this place for special occasions. read more
