• Farm-to-table • Downtown Charleston

Booked 4 times today

From chef, cookbook author and PBS star, Vivian Howard, LENOIR reminds people that the South is a nuanced place with a storied history and disparate terrain that shapes us as well as our food traditions. Here we cook to perpetuate, honor and evolve the cuisine of the rural, agricultural South, and we back it up with hospitality that buys into the idea that food with a story tastes better. Named for Vivian’s home county in eastern North Carolina, LENOIR exalts the pillars of Southern hospitality and leaves people feeling like they are guests in our home rather than patrons in our restaurant.

Chic atmosphere contributes to an overall great experience. The Wagu dumplings are great and go down so quickly I was sorry we decided to share them. You only get 3 and they are small but a real treat. The Playboy roll was excellent, too.

Burwell’s is our favorite steakhouse in Charleston! Great steak prepared to perfection with delicious sides served by a friendly and attentive waitress in a fantastic environment!
