    Our brunch experience at Brasserie La Banque was absolutely delightful. Celebrating our 1-year anniversary here was a perfect choice. The ambiance was warm and inviting, complemented by a touch of elegance that made our celebration special. Our server, Libby (hope I spelled it right), provided exceptional service. They surprised us with a custom sign on our table acknowledging our anniversary and treated us to a complimentary celebratory drink, which added a personal touch to our experience. The highlight of my meal was the caviar omelette, which was simply divine. The flavors were exquisite, and the dish was a perfect blend of creamy textures and savory goodness. Each bite was a delight. The drinks selection was impressive, offering a variety of options that paired well with our brunch dishes. Libby's recommendations were on point and enhanced our overall dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy a special occasion or simply indulge in a delicious brunch or other meals . We look forward to returning if we are ever in Charleston again!

    Absolutely loved going for restaurant week. The menu had the perfect selection of items to emulate their full menu. The waitress, whose name I didn’t catch, was fun and gave amazing recommendations. I will definitely be back.

    Experimented with it for Restaurant week and was surprisingly disappointed. Soup was cold, salmon was overbaked and everything just mediocre. Would not go back for their full price menu if they deliver similar standards to this limited menu. Service was great though and our waitress and the manager were very helpful and lovely.
