What locals are saying
AZUR earns genuine local loyalty as a quiet, French-Mediterranean retreat in a restored 19th-century Charleston single house — repeat visitors consistently praise its technique-driven kitchen (duck confit, lamb, seafood) and an Old World wine list with knowledgeable, non-upselling staff. One Yelp reviewer captured the local possessiveness best: 'I kinda want to give these guys a bad review so I can keep them to myself.' Minor friction points include indoor noise when full, weather exposure on the uncovered patio, and slight service drag on peak weekend evenings — but the overall consensus skews strongly toward a dependable, date-night-caliber neighborhood gem rather than a tourist trap, reinforced by its curated IG presence and Charleston Guru editorial coverage rather than any viral algorithm moment.
