Best New Restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina, for 2025 - AFAR

"Housed in Hotel Richemont and brought to Charleston by the Indigo Road Hospitality Group, this Vietnamese-inspired restaurant reads moody and refined—with rich wood, warm brass, and indigo-hued accents—and channels a spirit of generosity that mirrors its historic namesake; I loved the nods to vintage travel in the design and the thoughtful service. The menu ranges from fragrant pho and spring rolls to curries and papaya salad, with standouts like a yellowtail crudo in coconut-cilantro vinaigrette and clay pot chicken glazed with caramel fish sauce, and the cocktail Autumn in Hanoi (soju, lemon, ginger, coconut milk, Thai chile) is a clever, Southeast-Asian–tinged sip to try." - Lauren Mowery
