Could have been so much better. With a greater focus on service and comfort, this place could be much better. The food is pretty good (not great, but not bad), but the service leaves a lot to be desired. We waited forever for our food and only saw our waiter a couple of times all night. Never apologized for the delay or told us what was going on. But if 30 minutes goes by after ordering, maybe check in with your customers.

We dined on the patio because indoors can be noisy, and everything was great. The food was excellent as was the service. We love dining outdoors when the weather permits, so the end of December was a treat, and the patio is never noisy. The prices are very reasonable. 39 Rue de Jean remains a gem in downtown Charleston with a unique character all its own!

Wine list looks interesting but need to make sure they actually bring the wine you ordered. I had to return a bottle before opening since it had nothing to do with the one listed in the menu.

Loved this place. French onion soup was amazing. My husband enjoyed the rabbit. We sipped on great drinks a dirty martini and a hibiscus tea vodka drink. Our 11 year old enjoys the bread and steak. Was a great visit.
