Word on the street
What locals are saying
Steve Palmer's Indigo Road planted a French flag at the east end of Broad Street inside a former bank that still has the architectural authority to back it up — high ceilings, genuine bones, a room that doesn't need to try hard. Chef Jeb Aldrich's black-cocoa foie gras torchon is the dish that separates this place from brasserie pretenders, while the deconstructed poulet rouge and steak frites hold down the rest of the menu with conviction. The Post and Courier's own review noted that not every plate clears the same bar, and weekend evenings lean celebratory enough to feel like a special-occasion factory — but Bar Vauté, the downstairs speakeasy, is where the room earns its second act.
