Maison is a French Bistro located in downtown Charleston, SC. Our concept is food forward with bright, balanced beverages to compliment. Maison's cuisine is inspired by classic French fare recreated with a breath of modernity and local influence. Tradition meets au courant innovation. The space is intimate and paralleled with energy.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Vandy Vanderwarker

From the OpenTable editors: Charleston's favorite escape to Paris is via this bustling bistro with a romantic blue patio. Feast on updated classics like steak tartare with a shiitake vinaigrette or escargots with ramp butter, alongside a wine list that zips through the Loire Valley and other famed regions and cocktails favoring Chartreuse and St-Germain. Eater, Thrillist, Condé Nast Traveler, and lots of local outlets can't stop heaping praise on this place.

    The food was excellent some of the best we’ve had. The service, the ambience and the interest we were shown by staff was negligible. It was my birthday, and I didn’t even get a happy birthday message.

    What a delightful spot. Tucked into Upper King, Maison presents inventive French cuisine, a stylish setting and a lively bar.

    Living here 10 years,, and somehow have missed it. A.. Neighborhood-type place with an exceptionally high quality menu, bar, and attentive service. Would like to keep it a secret.. but that would be selfish I suppose.

    We had a wonderful evening celebrating my birthday. Danielle made us feel welcome and was very knowledgeable about the dinner and wine menus. The croquettes and escargot were delicious as always. My husband enjoyed the rabbit en croute and the monkfish was perfection. We always have a wonderful evening when we dine at Maison. Thank you for such an enjoyable evening!
