The Ordinary

Not just the best restaurant in Charleston, but one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Blue crab on toast is an excellent starter. Smoked oysters (pictured) are BLOW YOUR MIND DELICIOUS.

Insanely good. Redid an old bank building. Get the crab toast , tuna poke , black bass, and acorn squash farroto. I could eat here every night.

Mike Lata and Adam Nemirow created an homage to all things from the sea. The duo set out to build the best raw bar around. Go for the oyster sliders and stay for the triple tower. [Eater 18 Member]

come for the oyster happy hour to save some $$! I'd recommend splitting items on the menu & be sure not to skip out on the crab toast . Friendly staff , great atmosphere, delicious food!

Mike Lata's James Beard-nominated seafood palace is drawing serious crowds, and anyone who's tasted the uni or Maine lobster ceviche knows why. The triple seafood tower is something of a marvel.

gold standard for seafood in Charleston. menu of classic “Hot” and “Cold” ; Caribbean fish stew or oysters sliders or smoked oysters with saltines.

The pickled shrimp have been on the menu since the day the restaurant opened. A Southern staple, the shrimp are one of the more refreshing things you could ask for on a hot summer (or winter's) day. Read more

Wild Caper 's Blades oysters from South Carolina are available at the raw bar ; pickled shrimp or poached razor clams , served cold with an apple cilantro and jalapeño sauce , are another menu favorite. Read more

Order the raw seafood platter . The single is enough for two, and the oyster selection here is exceptional. If you're just with one other person, try the smoked fish paté as a starter. You'll be happy!

Excellent seafood restaurant offering very eclectic dishes. The oyster slider is amazing, and also loved the New England style fish .

The steak tartare really is a standout. It’s served with crispy oysters instead of bread or crackers , such a unique preparation and so tasty.

A fantastic modern-swanky option, take seriously their claims to be a raw-bar restaurant ; while everything is tasty, the kitchen excels with the raw and cold.

Forget the reso, sit at the Oyster Bar for a great experience. Peekytoe Crab toast is a must! Great wine list .

Amazing seafood ! Especially loved the smoked oysters , the razor clams , tartar with fried oysters . Great service from the bar to the table.
