"Imagine dining in the house that you wish was yours, eating the food that you wish you made. Enjoy a new menu everyday, handwritten in French and English." - Fuzzco
"A smaller dining room where availability can be hit or miss; worth checking for last-minute open seats and a cozy meal." - Erin Perkins
"A tightly held neighborhood spot where diners are encouraged to 'see if there’s a seat available' — implying limited seating and high demand." - Erin Perkins
"Chez Nous might just be the quintessential date spot in Charleston. This restaurant is situated inside a charming single-style house that’s tucked away from the bustle of Downtown. The handwritten, six-item menu of French-leaning food changes daily, but you can always expect a memorable fish dish, like a grilled branzino with creamy leeks, and you should honestly just order everything. The beautifully restored home only has a handful of tables, but there’s not a bad seat in the house, and anywhere you sit will be a good place to share some smooches and vanilla meringue dessert. Chez Nous is a pretty unique restaurant that’ll have you reminiscing for months (especially since any other date you plan will probably pale in comparison)." - jai jones, emily yates
"At this rustic, romantic French destination, chef Jill Mathias serves a concise selection of two appetizers, two entrees, and two desserts. The staff posts the menu daily on Instagram, but it’s usually a safe bet to grab a table without knowing what plates will delight the dining room that day. Recent offerings included sauteed shrimp with peppers, coulotte steak with chanterelle sauce, and whipped mascarpone with figs to round out the meal. Best for: A table for two and ordering everything on the menu." - Erin Perkins
