What Retta Schuppe doesn't like about The Ordinary Restaurant:
One of the best in Charleston. Do not miss the delicious yellowfin tuna ceviche and smoked oysters. Delicious!! Great cocktails, too. We loved the atmosphere and decor. Upscale but comfortable. View all feedback.

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.

We had a great dinner here. Delicious oysters, ceviche and other dishes. Let the servers guide you. They know what's good.

Great overall dining experience. Server seemed to want to upsell a little too much.
