About this business

The name is probably an indicator of what not to expect from this award-winning restaurant.

We stopped in for drinks and we were able to get a table for dinner. It was fabulous-from the drinks to the food to the staff to the atmosphere! One of our new favorite restaurants when we visit Charleston!!! Will definitely be back!!

Hardly worth the prices. The name said it all for food and especially service during a highly anticipated visit on 7/30/16. Also make sure you visit during comfortable temps... air conditioning is limited during summer hot days and a table upstairs could be uncomfortably warm.

Came from Charlotte and this was the only place I was told I HAD to go and they weren't wrong! Incredible service and food. Very fresh and thoughtful menu items. Loved it and will be back!

Amazing food and drinks all around! Great for groups - smaller large. I've been a few times and hope to go many more. This time we had a 14month old in tote, and the staff was very accommodating.

We have been here a couple of times, enjoying our first visit more than our second. The sticking point is really the prices. Too high. In the future we will probably just go to the bar and have one cocktail and some oysters. The Ordinary is very good but there are places just as good in Charleston where the prices are more reasonable.
