The Ordinary
Charleston, South Carolina
The name must be some sort of joke, because The Ordinary is anything but. Housed in an old bank, this seafood hall and oyster bar serves up outstanding food in a friendly atmosphere. Downstairs, you'll find the bar, the oyster counter, and some seating, while more formal seating is available upstairs. No matter where you sit, you can choose from a variety of hot and cold dishes, raw and cooked shellfish, and other delicacies from local and regional purveyors. The drink menu is also solid, but you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't at least nibble on something.
