Charleston's Best Restaurants that are most frequently booked by customers of The Ordinary Charleston
🤢 2/5 - ORDINARY SUMS IT UP!

Our latest visit to the ORDINARY, one of our erstwhile favorite Charleston eateries, seriously made us question the value proposition of dining out these days.
The ORDINARY's menu was broken into COLD and HOT plates, rather than SMALL and LARGE plates.
Ever see a menu divided between COLD and HOT plates? Ever?
For one, there was little to no indication whether an item was an appetizer or an entree' - a real head-scratcher.
In addition, after an uncomfortably long time perusing the menu, we felt that the choices were fairly unexceptional this time around.
Though our server was friendly and attentive, the train ran off the track when the men at our table received their dishes first, then had to wait before the women guests received their dishes.
Why weren't the women served first?
Why weren't we all served at the same time for that matter?
I consider this to be a major slip-up at any restaurant, more so for one whose website describes its service as being "friendly and DETAILED".
Surprisingly, the two SWORDFISH dishes were served unacceptably lukewarm.
The OKRA GUMBO was an unappetizing looking soup-like concoction with little evidence of "Carolina Gold Midlins".
The CORNMEAL FRIED TARVIN SHRIMP was swimming (so to speak) in tartar sauce, something you would expect at a chain seafood joint.
At the very least, the sauce should've been served in its own ramekin (we've been given them in the past).
The ORDINARY's plating, usually a visual as well as savory delight, was pedestrian and non-descript this time around.
Basic presentation elements that we'd come to expect weren't present this night.
What happened to all of those simple little flourishes that distinguished dining here before?
Truth be told, we should've sent our food back, if not for the fact that we were entertaining guests whom we were trying very hard to impress.
Guests who were too polite to let us know that their dining experience that night was utterly ORDINARY (pun intended).
To their credit, management did respond to our concerns, with an offer "to help with a future booking".
Don't think we'll be taking them up on their offer any time soon, since we'll probably just sit at the bar, have a drink and maybe a couple of oyster sliders, before dining somewhere else.
