Patois - Charleston

The hostess and server were excellent, but the food was excessively salted to the point of being almost inedible. Perhaps the chef was having an off night, but we won't be coming back to see if that’s the case. I truly wanted to enjoy this restaurant, but I left feeling very disappointed and ended up with a lingering taste of salt for the rest of the evening.

The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, with friendly, attentive staff and excellent food!

Absolutely amazing! The atmosphere is fantastic, and the food is even better. I tried the Cuban sandwich, and it was just perfect.

This is a new restaurant and still seems fairly unknown. It was a bit difficult to find due to the lack of a sign out front. The food was excellent. Everything was fresh, well prepared and had lots of taste. In addition, the chef is obviously quite talented based on how interesting the flavors were. The watermelon salad, shrimp ceviche, swordfish, ceaser salad, rice puddimg and flan all exceeded expectations. The only item we ordered that was less than excellent was the steak which had great taste but was tough. The service was also friendly and attentive.

Went with two friends. I had the chicken and they had the flank steak. We all enjoyed and found the food to be flavorful and the service to be top-notch. Did not have any problem getting a seat.
