Reviews


The Ordinary in Charleston is a top-notch dining experience that stands at the front of the list of great Charleston restaurants. The oyster selection is exceptional, the rum drinks are imaginative, and the chef's talent shines through in every dish. The restaurant has a sophisticated atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable servers, and a wine sommelier who adds to the overall experience. While reservations may be hard to come by, the first-come, first-served bar offers the full menu. The food is worth the price, and the restaurant is highly recommended by those who have visited. However, some diners have experienced issues with management that need to be addressed for a completely positive dining experience, generally, The Ordinary Restaurant receives a rating of 4.5 on average.
