- BBronnaAsheville / Western North Carolina •134 reviews5.0Dined todayThis was our third trip to 39 Rue de Jean and it did not disappoint. My husband was torn between the French onion soup (he is a huge fan) and the fried goat cheese salad and the winner was the salad. The big smile on his face said it all! I selected moules marinière - expertly prepared with white wine, shallots and parsley and happily used the lovely fresh bread at the table to sop up the delicious juices. A great way to start the meal. A seared pork tenderloin with pommes purée and fried Brussels sprouts was my husband’s choice and he was delighted. I went with an 8 ounce filet accompanied by yummy fries. As we were staying in a hotel, a to-go bag was reluctantly declined. Excellent food and service… we will be back!!More info39 Rue de Jean - CharlestonPrice: Expensive• French• Downtown Charleston•4.4

- DdanielleOrlando / Central Florida East •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoIt was a rare occasion that we were the only reservation for that time slot, we had an amazing time. Aimee was our tea tender and she was great, so patient and informative about how to read over the menu of teas. She explained the process and made it a great experience. I took my husband, who when I offered up this idea for tea, was all but thrilled. Before we left he said thank you for inviting him to something he very much enjoyed but had not intended to. We were both delighted at the different take on the little hand foods served and the pistachio blueberry tart was amazing!More infoCamelliasPrice: Expensive• Afternoon Tea• Downtown Charleston•4.6
