Merci

Was lucky enough to get a reservation and so grateful! This was such a special dinner. Definitely lived up to all of the hype. Very intimate, warm space. Terrific 5 star service from all. Had the beef wellington (of course!), heirloom tomato salad, focaccia, stuffed farfalle, apple & pear trifle- so hard to pick a favorite as each was outstanding. The beef wellington is definitely a star. I have no idea where they get such delicious tomatoes at the end of October. Will definitely return.

We had the pleasure of attending their plated Valentine’s weekend dinner experience! And I am in love. For reference, my husband and I are frequent Michelin star restaurant goers and this was at the top of our list. Everything was delicious, the flavors were beautiful, well plated, intriguing dishes while not over doing it. Honestly, I think the plated menu was the way to go! It isn’t normally I guess but we really loved the way the chef put this meal together! Highly recommend! As a note and personal opinion: restaurants like this require curiosity and appreciation for the subtle complexities the chefs integrate into their meals. Without this perspective I think it will be hard for someone to appreciate the meals at the cost.

Merci is a decadent experience and your answer to Beef Wellington. It’s located in a downtown house retrofitted into an open kitchen, so expect cramped quarters. Service is extremely attentive. My wife ordered a Non-Alc sparking and they were out, they went “next door” to fetch another bottle for us. The whole service was absolutely top notch service!!! Started with Fois Gras which my wife loves. Fois Gras is never bad, but for 32 bucks it was a little steep and required more bread. Main course - and the point of going - the Wellington. If you appreciate Beef Wellington, this is a tasty experience you wont regret. Been to UK at Gordon Ramsay’s Heddon Street. This smashed that by a mile. Ended with a Banana Pudding (flavored) ice cream sundae which normally isnt my thing, but was ab

Absolutely excellent. A small tasting ish menu but we had five items and they were all exceptional. Nice place with great staff and doesn't feel crowded or loud. Very creative.

The Hungry Detective and Special Agent Deirdre had the most fantastic experience last night at Merci… If I could give six stars, I would right from the get go… all right let’s talk about the atmosphere first. ATMOSPHERE: The location is in a true Charlestonian neighborhood just off the College of Charleston campus… there’s a small intimate dining area and then the chef‘s table where I like to sit, where there’s six spots. It’s just perfect and you can see all the action and how all dishes are cared for and prepped by Chef Alex and his wonderful staff!!! SMALL PLATES/STARTERS: I don’t know where to start because everything looked absolutely fabulous. I would’ve ordered one of everything if I could’ve as I sat there and watched all these great plates come out. I will definitely get the foc
