About this restaurant

Charming
Neighborhood gem
Good for groups

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.

We had an amazing dinner at Lenoir in Charleston! Our party of four left completely impressed — everything from the food to the service exceeded expectations. The staff were not only super friendly but also efficient and attentive without being intrusive. The menu was thoughtful and full of Southern-inspired creativity. Every dish we tried was flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance of upscale yet approachable — great for a night out with friends or a special occasion. A huge bonus: they validate parking for the garage directly across the street, which made the whole experience even more convenient. In a city where parking can be a hassle, this was a major perk. Highly recommend Lenoir if you’re looking for an elevated dining experience in Charleston that still feels warm and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!

Menu descriptions do not match food served. We order Pork and Pastry and the pastry was pasta -- no fat in the dough and not baked plus it was a soup and way over salted. Then on the other side I had the pasta dish that had no seasoning. Much better restaurant choices in Charleston for this price point.

The restaurant was out of two things that we ordered. It was a Sunday but still we thought they shouldn’t be out if featured items. My husband ordered a smash burger and the bread was totally stale . My dish was ok but not great. I had a chicken dish… I don’t remember much about it. It was very disappointing overall. We would not recommend the place.

Food and drinks were yummy! Service was sub par. There are Too many things to name that were missed in service. Basically they need to retrain the hostess and wait staff to make sure they know the purpose of their job is to create a pleasant dining experience for the guests. We had to ask multiple times for many things that are standard in being a server or hostess. Not expecting anything great in terms of service. Just wanted a par level. Like basic. The service was very amateur. The cuisine was amazing ! I will order To-go before living thru that again. My 12 year old could have done a better job at the hostess stand and as a server. They were nice people but not experienced or didn’t care or not trained properly.
