This is the only place we left disappointed in Charleston after a long weekend. The food was ok but expensive and we left hungry. It didn’t live up to the hype.

Very disappointing. I called the day of our reservation to let them know we were celebrating our daughter's and future son in laws engagement and my husband's retirement. They said the would do something special, THEY DID NOTHING, not even acknowledge it. Service felt slightly rushed and unorganized. I had also ordered dessert which I never received. I would definitely not recommend The Ordinary if you are celebrating very special occasions.
