Wei've been to La Fourchette in the past, and generally had a good meal. Something has clearly gone VERY, VERY, VERY WRONG at La Fourchette. We had the worst meal we have ever had in Charleston coupled with the worst service. We waited over 90 minutes for our meal, and when it was finally served one meal never showed, one... more

Recently my wife and I had a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience at La Fourchette. The food was good and the service was excellent. This is a very small and popular French restaurant, so reservations are recommended. more

La Fourchette is the finest French fine dining experience in all of Charleston. Located in the Upper King Design District, this petite bistro is unpretentious and delightful. The Duck Salad is my favorite and the Mussels are something to behold. The wine selections are perfect, but don't order a martini because you wouldn't get one offered to you in Paris... more

For months I had been planning on trying out this restaurant, and when I finally did, it definately lived up to my expectations. First, the atmosphere is very authentic French and even plays with the "La Fourchette" idea by having two giant forks on the walls (lol). The food was great and came out in good timing. I split the... more

I'm not sure what the other reviewers see about this place. I guess we were there on an off night. When we got there we were warmly greeted by a French gentleman (I'm assuming he is the owner), but things went down hill from there. When we were selecting our wine, our waitress was not familiar with any of the... more

This little authentic French Restaurant should be full every night! They were slow on a recent Wednesday evening, and we were able to walk right in and get a table for four at 8:30. The menu is straight out of the "French Cuisine Playbook" which worried me a little. Everything from Coquilles St. Jacque to Steak Frites. The proof is... more

Our meal was beyond nice.....the restaurant is cozy and romantic. The service was friendly and helpful. And the food was fantastic. We arrived tired and left happ, relaxed... more

This is a wonderful gem in Charleston. La Fourchette, a small French bistro, is the "real deal" if you love French food and wine. The menu offers only French dishes and wines. We went to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday, and the food and service was fantastic. The ambience, including Edith Piaf singing in the background, made you think you were... more

What a great place, in a great space. It's small and cozy and takes you out of 2009 in SC. Everything we had was excellent, starting with the to-die-for pommes frite fried in duck fat. Don't waste you calories for any other french fries, wait until you get here. I wasn't crazy about the aioli that came with it, but... more
