We have been in Charleston a long time and I have no idea why we only went to The Ordinary this year. We've been twice and both times, we had amazing meals!! The service has been great & the quality of the food is outstanding. A few weeks ago our server talked us into a really great bottle of wine and they had some new oysters from NC that were incredible. This is definitely near the top of our list of favorite places to eat, now. I can't wait until it cools down a little bit and we can eat in the courtyard.
