- DDianeIowa •1 review5.0Dined todayWe ate at the Swamp Fox 3 times during our stay. Each time, the food was incredible and the service amazing, especially Sylvie. The ambience was wonderful, too. We will definitely recommend the Swamp Fox and will visit again, should we return to Charleston. More infoThe Swamp Fox at the Francis Marion HotelPrice: Moderate• Southern• Downtown Charleston•4.4
- AAlanRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •6 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoGreat food and service. We eat here whenever we're in Charleston. Recommend the mussels though this time we had scallops and halibut both were outstanding. My wife and I disagreed on how full the restaurant was she thought about normal I felt it was fuller and correspondingly nosier than I was accustomed to. Service was up to the standard we expect. We recommend and will continue to visit when in Charleston.More info39 Rue de Jean - CharlestonPrice: Expensive• French• Downtown Charleston•4.4

- KKerriAsheville / Western North Carolina •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 25, 2024"We decided to celebrate Christmas with a special 'date' for brunch at Gabrielle in Hotel Bennett, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, the service was impeccable. Daniel, in particular, stood out for his attentiveness and the thoughtful touch of addressing us by name. Every staff member we encountered was warm, professional, and genuinely helpful, adding to the festive atmosphere. The food and ambiance were perfect for the occasion, and we left feeling truly cared for. I can't recommend Gabrielle enough—it was such a memorable experience that it might just become our new Christmas tradition."More infoGabrielle Charleston in Hotel BennettPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Southern• Downtown Charleston•4.5
