Not so ordinary...Excellent service, very unique setting, great old building with the sweetest private side courtyard seating outside in a very pretty setting. Overall I’d highly recommend this restaurant.

Popped in for drinks and dessert at the bar, and OMG, the Ordinary Joe is far from ordinary. Excellent bar service from both Trey and Will. So good we came in 3 nights in a row on our short trip to Charleston... Just for the Joe.

The wine list is 95% European. Only 2 or 3 bottles from the good old USA. Food is good and the service is good. I just don’t like the wines they offer.
