Our first visit was for "Mercy at the Kersey." This is a special event every Thursday where the participating group sits at the bar and there is a surprise menu with 4 courses with wine pairings. You're at the mercy of the chef and whatever he feels like making that day. We had a wonderful time. Our server/bartender was wonderful and the food was so yummy! Being a surprise, it made me a little nervous, but even if it was something I would never order for myself, everything was still delicious! We stopped in another evening for a regular dinner service. Our server was great, very attentive, and the food was so good. Definitely a good experience and a little "nicer" dinner than many of the chains in Summerville. You can be casual, but the atmosphere is a step above that. It's also a beautifully done building that serves as an event venue, as well. read more

Super cute spot with a really charming atmosphere, especially for brunch. The staff was very nice and attentive, which always makes a difference. The menu is solid with a good variety, and everything we had was pretty good overall. Parking can be a little tricky depending on the time, so just plan for that. We were able to get in easily for Sunday brunch without a reservation, but I'd still recommend checking ahead just in case it gets busier. Definitely a place we'll be back to, especially to try dinner next time. read more

Kersey House - French Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

Kersey House is such a charming spot in downtown Summerville. The building itself is gorgeous, and I love all the character throughout -- the cozy little rooms, the upstairs, and even the bathrooms are thoughtfully designed and fun. The wraparound porch is beautiful, and the event space out back is a great bonus. It's a perfect place to pop in solo and sit at the bar, but it also works really well for brunch or a larger dinner party. The cocktails are decent, though I usually stick with bubbly or wine. The croque-monsieur is my favorite, and the fried calamari, Kersey salad, and baked escargot are all solid choices. Everyone is always friendly and welcoming. The only small thing I've noticed is that the servers sometimes seem to be standing around quite a bit, which can feel like there may be a little overstaffing or downtime -- but it doesn't take away from the overall experience. Beautiful space, great food, and a spot I genuinely enjoy returning to. read more

Had a lovely family group luncheon at Kersey House. Loved this southern home with all the character & charm. Our server was great, and food and drinks came out faster than expected. I didn't love my meal (salmon chopped salad- the fish was cooked well, but the salad was sorta a hodgepodge of ingredients and the dijon dressing was an odd pairing). But because of the atmosphere and service I for sure would try this place again. Fyi there is a handicapped chair lift hidden out front which was an amazing help for the older guests. read more

Lunch is the best here. Good price and choices. The French onion soup needs some work. It came out just barely warm & too salty. The grilled cheese & Kersey Salad were fabulous. The burger got rave reviews too. Service was great and nothing beats a restaurant in a cute house. read more

I brought my mom here one day, hoping to try something new in the Summerville area. The house is absolutely beautiful and they encourage you to explore. The food is good, but very small portions. The service was kind and accommodating. It's a worth while spot for lunch on a pretty day. read more

This is large old home is a great setting for couples' night out. We ate upstairs and it was early, we had the room to ourselves. Cassidie our server was excellent. I was extremely disappointed in the changes to the presentation of the Lobster Bisque. In All the pictures you see a bowl with a beautiful puff pastry rising over top. The waiters overheard me talking to the wife about how disappointed I was in in the appearance and she explained it was still the same dish just in a different bowl. I respectfully disagree in that while I started to eat it, the bread was like a hard biscuit, difficult to breakup without spilling the soup over the bowl. The soup itself was very good, but as the saying goes, "You eat with your eyes first" and the new dish just does not look nearly as appetizing, nor does it eat that way. I highly recommend to the chef that they go back to how they served this dish previously. The wife and I split a Baked Escargot, garlic butter, with a thin bread topping which is a perfect way to serve this dish. The best way to eat it, is to flip the Escargot to the top and the bread on the bottom where it can soak up the wonderful Garlic butter. The wife and I also split the Ceviche, with cut up pieces of shrimp, calamari, bay scallop in a basil vinaigrette. The chunks of apple provided a bright and clean taste on the palette. I think the dish is designed to be eaten with bit of salmon roe with each bite for a bit of salt and perfect balance For my entrée, I had the Sea Scallop Risotto. This is one of the best-looking dishes I have ever been served. The dish had plenty of large Scallops, over a bed of Risotto, with roasted sweet cherry tomato, asparagus, shaved Parmesan. The dish was spot on The wife had the Short Rib Bourguignon that included roasted fingerling potato, asparagus, mushrooms, in a bordelaise sauce. She loved the roasted fingerling potatoes, but thought the dish was under salted, and the bordelaise sauce missed the mark. Overall a very nice meal read more

We had the opportunity to participate in the chefs choice dinner. This was the first time participating in this kind of event. The dinner was absolutely amazing. Each dish was perfectly paired with a wine or champagne. Our bartender and dinner guide Sandy was super helpful and informative with each drink and dish. The restaurant was super nice. The restaurant was build around an old two story house in historic downtown Summerville that was beautifully restored. read more

Visited Kersey House for the first time last night and from the check-in to the end of the meal, it was a delightful experience! I wanted to treat my fiancé to a nice birthday dinner and Kersey House staff pulled all the stops! The handwritten card and complimentary gelato was so thoughtful, I appreciate how the crew made him feel special. The menu offers a variety of options to please any dietary needs. The menu notates gluten free, dairy free items and even has a separate vegetarian menu! Our server Nathan was attentive plus the crew that brought our food and birthday goodies were so hospitable. For appetizer we got the fried calamari that came in bite sized pieces plus a fraîche to dip in and the crispy soft pork belly with pickled items. For my entree, I got the Kersey salad with a goat cheese roll and lobster bisque. The Boursin dressing complemented the greens perfectly. My fiancé enjoyed his steak frites lightly salted. The cocktails were refreshing - highly recommend the Kersey 75 and Côté Soleil. We managed to get the tail end of happy hour and they offer some great deals! 1/2 off cocktails!? Yes, please! KH also offers plenty of room for events like weddings and events. Found a parking spot easily along the tracks and liked how they offer a number of places to sit from the veranda to indoors. Thank you Kersey House for the stellar service and hospitality. read more

What a fun gem in the heart of Downtown Summerville! First the house is stunning. We opted to sit out on the patio, actually the wrap around porch and it was delightful! Our server was top notch! He allowed my mom and I to relax and enjoy each item that we ordered.. We started with the oysters!! Enormous and for $10 on Tuesday for 6 totally worth the price!! We then moved on to the escargot.. Hot and sizzling and delectable! We paired each item with a glass of their house wine - Pinot noir for my mom and Pinot Grigio for myself.. This little gem won't stay hidden for long! Can't wait to add this onto the roster of must eats!! read more

We've been twice (lunch and dinner) and had a great meal both times. Lunch was lobster soup and salad. Elegant and charming. Great food. Dinner was very nice. We sat in a small side room which was quiet and cozy. Fiancée is gluten free and I'm pescatarian, and we both found dinners that were amazing. They were very accommodating with gluten free bread and desserts. Drink service was spot on, well-crafted drinks. We will definitely be returning. read more

I booked a Christmas Eve reservation for our family of 7 a few days before and am so glad I did! We had a very short wait, which was absolutely fine, and then we were led into a small private room upstairs. This worked out perfectly because we have a younger diner with us and she sometimes get excitable in new places or when she gets bored, so the room allowed her some freedom while not bothering other diners. Our server and the assistants were all very upbeat and friendly (even while working the Christmas Eve rush)! I started with the Winter Solstice Sip mocktail. I really appreciate when the bar staff puts effort into the mocktail menu! I ended up getting a second one, I loved it so much! I've been a couple of other restaurants by this chef and looked over the menu in advance to know what to expect. I went with the fried shrimp, cheese gougeres, and the beef filet. The shrimp were cooked very well and I scraped the plate for the citrus beurre blanc because it was amazing (seriously, order a baguette and get it all)! The cheese gougeres are perfect as a shareable appetizer - light and cheesy at the same time. My beef was the star of the show - my brussels had a nice crisp and the fig demi glaze really elevated the flavor of the beef. Everyone at the table cleared their plates and raved about it being a great Christmas Eve meal! The meal took longer than I anticipated but they were slammed and we constantly had drink refills, so no worries. Just something to note if you come here on a busy night if you have a time crunch. read more

The food, atmosophere, and service were all phenomenal. More people need to come try this restaraunt for dinner, it opened in Feb of 2025 and has it all. My fiancé and I decided to get married here because of the venue and quality of food. My favorite restauraunt in the Charleston area! read more

Kersey House has been on my list since they opened and I finally got the chance to get them out. I went on a Sunday at 3pm and they had just started their dinner menu. We ordered escargot, salad, and short rib. All three dishes were phenomenal and we were pleasantly surprised. The service was excellent and attentive. The noise level was a little loud but we were sitting by the bar and they were finishing up a Santa brunch so several families were there. I can't wait to return to try more dishes! read more

Went here to try something new after hearing great reviews and it did not disappoint! We went for Sunday brunch and had a reservation but it was not too busy around 1pm. I got the croque monsieur and my fiancé got the biscuits and gravy. My dish was delicious and came with a side of crispy breakfast potatoes. My fiancés dish was smothered in tasty gravy with crispy biscuits. For a drink I got the Sweet Magnolia which was a little too light for me but tasty. The building has lot of light coming in and was very lovely. I will definitely be back to try more! read more

Came in for a 615 dinner reservation. Hostess was okay. Could have been friendlier - acted as if seating was a bit of a bother. Was seated outside on the wrap around porch on a beautiful evening. Waitress was super friendly and informative. Suggested drinks for us. Ordered the steak frites, scallops & risotto, and baguette (baguette was great but honestly feel as if it should be a complimentary offering and not $6). Waitress checked in regularly. Service was wonderful. Steak was okay. A little tough, fries were mediocre. Scallops were a real standout. Drink prices were a bit high- downtown CHS pricing in Summerville just isn't the vibe. Overall good experience. Would try again. read more

We went to Kersey House for brunch. Our reservation was for 11:00 am. I didn't realize they opened at 11. We were seated a little before 11:00. They have non alcoholic cocktails which I ordered one since I was driving. It's a small menu but we found a great treat in the crab Benedict. It was served on charred sourdough. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was delicious. The lump crab was just the right amount. It came with a side. The breakfast potatoes were crispy but lacked flavor. The atmosphere here is quite charming as it's in a charming old house downtown. We sat inside but will request the veranda next time. read more

My mother and my sister both did the prefixed lunch menu. You get an app, meal and dessert, all small plates. All of this for $20! I am gluten free and they were able to make the chicken cordon blue GF for me. Our server Chelsea was amazing. She was personable and made excellent recommendations. The place looks like a big house and is very welcoming. I must say the bathrooms were exceptionally clean! We look forward to going back again and doing the chef pairing and just ordering some of the other classics on the menu! read more

This is a relatively new place. We went for a birthday dinner with several friends. The place is beautifully appointed, our server, Rachel B., was very friendly and efficient. The food is phenomenal and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. We got ceviche and calamari appetizers. I can't pick which one was better. They were both so delicious! Most of our party got the duck and raved over it. I got the scallop risotto and it was so good. I can't begin to describe. The other dish our party got was steak frites and she said that was very good too. They actually have a Thursday night session that is limited to 12 participants where there is a four course pre-determined menu with a wine pairing. We are seriously considering doing that sometime. It looks like a lot of fun! You're looking for a new place to go, I highly recommend this place. read more

The Kersey House is a beautiful addition right in the heart of downtown Summerville. They also have many areas to choose for placement from the bar, main rooms, and balcony. We started off our afternoon with the Ceviche for the appetizer. Different than the Ceviche than we are used to but in a pleasant way. The notes of the apple and lime really shined through along with the tang from the pickled onions. Very nice touch to this dish. For our main courses, we ordered the Le Parisian Turkey sandwich & the Moules Frites. The Turkey sandwich looked very appetizing but hard to eat. The bread it was on was VERY hard and the sandwich was stuffed to the point of everything sliding out every time you took a bite... THEN, my friend pointed out that there was mold on the bread of the sandwich. To some people this might not be a huge issue but for an upscale restaurant we expected a little more. The Moules Frites were very tasty, cooked perfectly with just the right amount of sauce. All though I am a little disappointed with how our dining experience went, I am willing to give the Kersey House another try for dinner. read more

The service here is great. Maybe even a little too much (constant checking up). Its a large restaurant, looks even bigger than it does outside. We had the Lobster Bisque, Mussles, Steak Frites, and creme brulee. Everything is very similar to their other restaurants. Good, but not spectacular. The Lobster Bisque was my favorite. So much flavor. Something I would definitely order again. Their creme brulee is a great little show at the table, but the cookies are very dry and not a standard creme brulee (very much a pudding consistency instead of a more set texture). read more

This is a fairly new restaurant, since it recently opened a few months ago. It's located in downtown Summerville, SC. It is very spacious and you can easily walk around without any concerns about tables being too close to each other. It has indoor and outdoor dining, both first and second floor. In addition, it has an outdoor area in the back of the building for special occasions and or catering. We went there without reservations and it was an easy process to get a table. The staff were very knowledgeable, friendly and on point with the attention to detail. They noticed my wife was cold and immediately offered to move us to another area without us asking for it. The decorations are clean, slick and modern and preserved the history of the house in Summerville. We had a wonderful experience with the dinner since it was carefully arranged and cooked. We order french onion soup, La Baguette, Short Ribs Bourguignon, Duck Confit, French fries, Macaroni au Fromage. The meal was so delicious and tender and did complemented each flavor, building a wonderful meal. The dessert was Creme Brûlée, what can we say, it was delicious!! read more

Went here to celebrate a friend's birthday and had a lovely experience overall. The ambiance was charming with beautiful decor, and the French-inspired menu offered a solid selection. A special touch: they brought out champagne to toast the occasion, which we really appreciated. French onion soup was delicious! The only reason for the 4 stars is that the pricing felt a bit steep for the quality of the food--good, but not quite exceptional for the cost. Still, it's a great spot for a special night out. read more

We'll definitely be going back to this place. It was really good. We arrived 15 minutes early and they seated us without issue. The service was fantastic, friendly and attentive, and the ambience was elegant and classic southern charm. They could've used a few less tables in the dining area just to make it a little bit more romantic and they're working on dampening the sound. They've only been open for seven days at this point, but they did a phenomenal job. The food was top-notch but they could've used a few vegetarian or vegan options.
