Vern's Charleston Reviews
Rabbit Campanelli along with their charred sourdough made
Rabbit Campanelli along with their charred sourdough made for a perfect meal. Jared at the bar was friendly and provided suggestions on what to order. He paired a nice wine to go along with my dinner. The restaurant is located in a neighborhood setti
Vern's is one of those Charleston gems that it seems only
Vern's is one of those Charleston gems that it seems only locals know about. It is charming and the food is out of this world. I will be dreaming of the escargot and sourdough bread until I get to have it again.
Excellent pasta dishes and service.
Small but cozy ambiance. Went for a business dinner but it would be a great place for a romantic dinner.
Pricey and with mediocre food.
The garlic bread was wonderful. Restaurant was adorable and our waitress was fabulous. Food just didn't leave an impression. I suppose it is because my palate was trained in New Orleans.

Was quite disappointed in this overhyped restaurant.
We ordered the sourdough, shrimp, tomato salad, testaroli, carrots and waygu beef. The sourdough and tomato salad were good. Not super generous on the tomatoes, but delicious. I found the shrimp to have almost zero flavor for a dish that included hor
This place was a total miss for us.
Service was good. I think that's the only good thing I would say about it. We ordered several dishes (bread, escargot, tuna tartare, tomato salad, carrots and trout). I'm not exaggerating when I say that every single dish (except maybe the

My wife and I went here on vacation for a special date night. We heard amazing things about the restaurant. We were very excited about it. The waitress that took care of us was very short and rude to us. My wife wanted to hear about the specials and
Reservations can be difficult to get last minute so plan
Reservations can be difficult to get last minute so plan ahead but it's totally worth your time. Whether it's brunch or dinner we've always had a good time. It's a perfectly cozy spot with a menu built on local ingredients.
Yes, it is true. It is that Gooooooood
For those who are wondering why it is so hard to get reservation at Vern’s…. Because the food is really good. It will make it to James Beard award in the future, only, and I say it again, only, if stays consistent as is. It has a very small menu
Ambience, service, charm.
Shared a few courses with the table. Delish. Liked the shrimp & salad selection. Tasted like fresh herbs in every dish.
The other day I asked myself which restaurants actually had
The other day I asked myself which restaurants actually had a chance at a Michelin star now that Michelin is coming to the South. In Charleston, Vern's is my top pick. The service is impeccable (so accommodating and swift), the ambiance is dark
The service here is exceptional.
From the hostess to the bartender and server I felt very well taken care of. They have a great wine selection and the food was superb. I enjoyed the fennel, carrots, trout, and rabbit pasta. All incredibly flavorful and perfect for sharing. I lov

I like ferns and have been here many times, always friendly staff good wine choices, and nice tasty dishes that are great for sharing. I probably would've given it five stars, but it is just so loud in there. It's almost impossible to hear
Vern's is always a 10/10 experience for me.
If there's a reservation that happens to pop up on a weekend, this is one you should grab! The pastas and wine selection are incredible. The atmosphere is warm, romantic, and inviting. Oh, and GET THE DESSERT!
Delicious Meal
We had a delicious meal on a Friday night. The food menu is inventive and plates just beautiful. Highly recommend this restaurant. The only downside is it is extremely difficult to park in this neighborhood. Took us 20 minutes to find a spot. We shou
Best of Charleston
Best restaurant in Charleston - if you're on vacay. you should definitely go there once you're sure you have had enough stereotypical Southern food. And the music is the best - as is the wine - it's like Craft in NYC or French Louie i
My go to restaurant for constantly delicious food in a friendly atmosphere!
A few adjectives come to mind. Welcoming staff, fabulous food, delicious wine list, attentive servers! Neighborly atmosphere. It’s my go to place for consistently great food!
Start to finish, a top notch restaurant.
The bavette steak is not to miss. Service was impeccable.
Wow! Love everything! Get the bread! Get the pasta and
Wow! Love everything! Get the bread! Get the pasta and always get the steak! One of our new favorites in Charleston!
Flawless execution of food and service
Best meal I had in CHS. Not an easy table but I got on RESY 30 days in advance and had no issues for a Saturday night. Saw a few walk-ins get seated at the bar as well. Food was creative and flavorful, lots of range on the menu. Comfortable, unpr
Delicious, creative food with a warm ambiance.
I've been here many times and the service has been quick and friendly. I love the ever-changing menu, giving us the chance to try something different every time.

Maybe I am spoiled by living in NYC, but Vern's was beyond disappointing. The food was horrible. The Crispy Shrimp was a sad attempt at shrimp toast. The shrimp was over cooked and the accompliants were - well not accompanying. The chicken was a

Eclectic Menu
Menu features charred sourdough, crispy shrimp, sunchokes, campanelle & rabbit, and lamb. All done and plated nicely.

Oh my - this was our favorite from among multiple high end restaurants we tried between Savannah and Charleston - even edges out the arguably more famous and by reputation (and more expensive) FIG. Beyond tasty and creative food, the casual neighborh
Absolutely delicious.
Though it is small inside, the atmosphere is inviting and cozy. Everything we ate was amazing. We got the bitter lettuce, sunchoke dish, and the chicken. Definitely recommend all three. Our server was lovely and was very helpful in helping us make ou
Horrible pretentious garbage! My pasta had so much black
Horrible pretentious garbage! My pasta had so much black pepper that's all I could taste. Luke warm tap water. Bread tasted like it was burnt. I guess it is a great place for snobs to blow ridiculous amounts of money and brag about it. Avoid at all c
Fun little French wine bar.
Bartender was awesome. Jared maybe? Escargot and sourdough apps were really tasty. Rabbit pasta dish good too but nothing special. Some fairly priced, decent wine too. Five stars if I wasn't forced to give my phone number to the obnoxious hostess for

Vern’s is a very interesting restaurant. It is difficult to reserve a table here; we actually walked in a few weeks earlier and were able to get a seating through the hostess. The food is good, the service is great and the wine list superb. The p

Vern's is a quaint neighborhood restaurant serving up rib-sticking food. Ideally, go with friends who want to share plates because this is how you'll experience Vern's in its fullest. I saw tables of two able to successfully eat a couple entrees and

Simple food, good execution.
Verns is tucked in a cozy corner in a growing part of Charleston, so it's nice to walk around and wait for the place to open since it is hard to grab a seat due to its popularity The bar isn't fully stocked so you wont find hard liquors in their dri

Super accommodating to my girlfriend's allergies, nice atmosphere/not over crowded. Food lived up to the hype for sure!
Food and service were excellent but the table next to us
Food and service were excellent but the table next to us had a dog under the table for the duration of the meal. It was not a service animal and it was pretty clearly just a pet that multiple family members (6+) were playing with and petting through
Still trying to understand why this restaurant has 4.
5 stars. My advice is ensure you know what you're getting into. Menu is tiny and lacks variety which is fine if the dishes are executed well which they were not. No excuse for improperly cooked steak. Overpriced for the portions. $40 for a borin
A Tour de Force in a Neighborhood Setting
This is hands down the best food I have had in Charleston in years. That is high praise in a city known for great restaurants. Everything was brilliantly prepared and presented. Great wine list and the staff was excellent as well. I loved the
Best meal in Charleston
Spent four nights in Charleston and this was hands down our best meal (also ate at Husk, Fig and Slightly North of Broad). It is a neighborhood bistro, not an “old Charleston” standard. From the wines to the dessert, you won’t find common he
Obnoxiously Polite
What makes a good restaurant? Good food, good service, in a comfortable setting, at a fair price. Unfortunately, none of these are true about this place. The food is, at best, very pedestrian with some dishes overpowered by an odd vinegary sauce. Our
Amazing Meal and Vibe at Verns
We had an amazing meal at Verns, possibly the best we had in Charleston and that’s saying something. Three friends and I shared a little bit of everything and literally every bite was spectacular. I live in NYC and have eaten at some of the best r
Great vibe with excellent food!
Every bite was excellent. The service was great, and it was so nice to look around and see everyone on the staff smiling and having a good time. That made the vibe fantastic and made the food taste even better! Every detail was spot on, even the bath
Surprisingly, a huge disappointment!
This restaurant has a spectacular ranking in terms of search results. I asked a few foodie locals about the restaurant and did not get any kind of positive response which was disconcerting, but we had a reservation and no other options so off we wen
Wonderful meal at Vern’s
Ok, we come to Charleston every year in July to spend time with family. We always go to the same restaurants and wanted to try some place new. I heard about Vern’s, so we decided to have dinner there this visit. We were blown away by this meal.
Experience Not Consistent with Fine Dining
For a place advertised as fine dining, it did not live up to our expectations. First for the pros: 1) nice wine menu, although it is focused primarily on full bottle options only with at most 1-2 offerings by the glass, 2) the atmosphere was cozy.
Disappointed
Went for birthday brunch. Indicated on reservation that it was a special occasion and that I needed gluten free. Never mentioned my birthday or put a candle in our dessert. Only had choice of omelette ($13.00)or steak ($37.00). No gluten free. Husban
Connect with users posting reservations for Vern's Charleston
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Vern's Charleston. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Vern's Charleston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Vern's Charleston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Vern's Charleston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Vern's Charleston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
