About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem

NICO is an upbeat oyster bar serving French cuisine carefully prepared in a wood-fired oven. With ingredients sourced from the waters of the Lowcountry and a curated selection of the country’s most coveted raw oysters, French Master Chef Nico Romo offers a fresh take on seafood for Charleston's iconic Shem Creek. Winner of Best of Mount Pleasant Best Raw Bar '20-'24, Best French '21-'24, Best Seafood '22-'24, Best of Charleston Best Chef '21, '22, '23, and Best Mt. Pleasant Restaurant '23!

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Jay Flatley

From the OpenTable editors: Lyon-born chef Nico Romo is the youngest-ever US member of The French Culinary Academy, and his flair for French cuisine shows in the top-notch dishes at this cheery indoor-outdoor seafood bistro. Think wood-fired escargots with Provençal butter and flounder meunière. Of course, it being an oyster destination, raw-bar fanatics have plenty of platters and preparations to choose from, as well. Round it out with a glass of sparkling, white, or rosé from the French-leaning wine list.

    Nice change of pace from the peninsula. Service was great. Food was good but not to the quality I had hoped especially for the price point. Except for my whole fish, other entree sizes were fairly small portions (and we do not like to overeat). We definitely eat here again for a more casual dinner/atmosphere than downtown.

    Thank you for the feedback, Ginger. I hope we can have you back again soon.

    We had lunch, shrimp and scallop rolls, which were good, but not great. Great frites and service. The chocolate cake dessert and coffee were great. The main dining room's decor didn't work for me and is dated.

    First time Nico diners, and was very impressed. Sat at the bar indoors to escape the outdoor heat. Was fun watching the oyster bar prep. Our waiter/bartender was very pleasant and made us feel genuinely welcomed. Very attentive as well. The food quality was equally outstanding. We will definitely return to Nico our next trip to the Charleston area.

    Sold out of happy hour Veuve Cliquot, but did not offer an alternative. Bouillabaisse was gritty, from not sufficiently cleaned seafood and not very tomato forward. Service was pleasant and attentive, but did not make up for the inflexibility.

    Michael, We're sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please be sure to let us know when you are dining with us if there are any issues, so we have the opportunity to bring you something you may enjoy more. Merci

    The food was incredible, especially the Flounder Meuniere and Napoleon Wood Fire Oysters. Was pleasantly surprised at the size of the portions for the value. If you like seafood you will not be disappointed.

    We had a wonderful late lunch today. Was our first visit since moving here three years ago. My only regret is that it took us so long to get there. Wonderful place. We will be back, and often!

    Wonderful service, incredible food, and some of the best seafood I had in Charleston! Felt like a local spot and was very family friendly while still being elevated dining.
