The Ordinary Charleston Reviews from The Last Year
Aptly named.
This place served great oysters. Staff is friendly, wine is good. Can’t say the same for the overly spiced peel and eat shrimp (I’m always suspicious that this is a cover-up for poor quality), and the beef tartar was…what was it? Anyway, an ok place to spend too much money.
This restaurant is anything but ordinary despite its name.
Our server Eric was a superstar who guided us through our culinary journey and we couldn't have been happier. We had a great conversation with a couple seated next to us, and couldn't believe seeing them again when we were enjoying our amazing wine outside a stellar wine bar Bin 152 (for which I've already posted a review). What a wonderful treat.
ExtraOrdinary!
This was our choice for our last night in the amazing city of Charleston. It did not disappoint! We started with the chicory salad and fish cake (both large enough to share)—delicious! The fish cake was light on the breading and perfectly prepared. We next tried the cast iron wagyu sirloin and the triggerfish schnitzel. The beef was perfectly prepared and was mouthwateringly tender. The trigger fish was panko encrusted and perfectly prepared. Both entrees were sublime! Contrary to some reviews, we found the portions generous and satisfying. The ambience is welcoming and our server was helpful and attentive. We would love to come back!
Enjoyed every bite!
Loved our visit to The Ordinary and it was anything but. Every bite was delicious! I especially loved the Shrimp with rice dish. Our server seemed tepid about it, but the combination of flavors was delicious. The chicory salad with shallot dressing was also absolutely delicious. Our service was on the slow side, with the table next to us receiving their food before us, but the flavorful food more than made up for it. Would highly recommend and definitely go again!
Very nice restaurant.
Excellent selection of oysters. Staff very pleasant. I was by myself and the server, Chelsea, was wonderful. She made sure I knew not to rush, take time and enjoy the experiences.
Thoughtful, creative, and delicious food beautifully
Thoughtful, creative, and delicious food beautifully presented. Extremely fresh seafood. World-class service. Condiments with the oysters were lackluster and the tartar lacked flavor (I would have liked more salt and a raw egg yolk), but entrees (fish), salads, and the shellfish appetizers were exceptional.
Outstanding.
In fact, outrageously delicious. Tonight was day three of Charleston culinary adventure and both my wife and I felt The Ordinary was the most creative of our top-notch choices. We shared seven small plates and a dessert. None disappointed. The flounder larb and the smoked oysters were among my favorites. We both loved the smoked wahoo pâté. The simple salads were also delicious. Our chocolate hazelnut budino was gorgeous, and we each enjoyed the Ordinary daiquiri #8. Service was excellent. We adored Dana.
Great hospitality and staff! The gumbo was yummy! Right by
Great hospitality and staff! The gumbo was yummy! Right by the Hyatt hotel and a great atmosphere overall!
If you are visiting Charleston let this be the first place
If you are visiting Charleston let this be the first place you eat! Every single plate was mouth-watering DELICIOUS! Worth every dime.
I stopped by The Ordinary for some snacks and a nightcap on
I stopped by The Ordinary for some snacks and a nightcap on my trip Charleston. It was very close to my hotel, so was a very easy, convenient first night stop. I sat at the bar, and the bartenders were friendly and helpful. The oysters and shishito peppers were delicious. If it wasn't late (for me), I would have ordered more food. Next time I'm in Charleston, I plan on coming back for a full meal. The restaurant was beautiful with a great ambiance.
Tonight we came here to celebrate my fathers birthday- 90!
Tonight we came here to celebrate my fathers birthday- 90! Not many people reach that milestone. We ordered the local Steamboat oysters, they were briny and good but they are also on the higher end. We really enjoyed the Wahoo dip which was well balanced and super tasty. The server was great and the ambiance is nice but also loud. Wish they had a bit more of a variety with their small plates but overall it was a good experience.
Fantastic meal
This was one of our best meals in Charleston. Service was incredible, the food was fantastic, and the ambiance was perfect! Definitely worth making a reservation to make sure that you don't miss dining at this Charleston gem!
Charleston certainly has a lot of food options downtown and
Charleston certainly has a lot of food options downtown and The Ordinary is a true exception to the term "outstanding". I wish I could give them 10 stars, it was that good. From the happy smile at the hostess stand, to Eric, maybe the best server in Charleston, to the seafood to dessert- WOW!!!! Redone old bank on King Street, very nicely done, old town elegance with tables nicely spaces for allow for a private dining experience. Eric went over the menu, and we decided to enjoy "big" plates, rather than 3 or 4 "smalls". Excellent shake on the martini to start. Wine list is extensive - the white from the Wausau Valley was outstanding. Started with the Chicory salad, interesting flavors and large enough to share. She went with the snapper entree; I tried the Triggerfish. Awesome flavors, nice portions, served to perfection. Finished up with the Chocolate Budino for dessert - oh what a finish to a perfect meal.
Had a light dinner here on my recent one day trip to
Had a light dinner here on my recent one day trip to Charleston, and everything was excellent. We stopped in on a whim, after reviewing the menu posted outside the restaurant for desserts, and the outcome was a delightful surprise. Btw, if the restaurant feels like it could be an old bank, that's because it's literally inside an old bank. One of the doors near the kitchen looks like the door of a vault. Anyway, we ordered the oyster sliders. If I had not consumed a gigantic lunch, I would have ordered two more of these. They were that good. We also got the dressed oysters, a few regular oysters, and snapper ponzu. For dessert, we ordered the panna cotta. No regrets on any of the items we ordered. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in town.
Ordinary Indeed!
As it name implies: Ordinary indeed! Okey food. Good service. Poor delivery. All "normal" after Covid messed up restaurant business all over the South East. Hopefully it will not be "the new normal"...
Great higher end restaurant
We were able to get in with an early reservation, and it was a pleasant surprise. Great service, great food, wonderful and interesting wine selections, mostly European.
Great place to eat
This Restaurant is amazing. We sat at the bar and our server Dalton was excellent. My hubby and I shared the raw oysters, fish pate and I had the okra tomato soup and he had the fish chowder. Our son in law recommended The ordinary. I highly recommend. We will definitely be back and recommend.
Great Time at the (Extra)Ordinary
We had a splendid evening and a wonderful dining experience at The Ordinary!! The pleasant ambiance, the eye-appealing food presentation (and of course, the taste and flavors!), the introduction to a Slovenian bubbly, and the top-notch service by Rachel (and her colleague - sorry, we do not recall his name). We have raved to other travelers we've met while here in Charleston about The Ordinary!
One of Charleston’s most consistent culinary hotspots
We have been to Ordinary many times. Why? Because it is that good, that’s why. We love the variety, the consistency of food, ambience and service, and a clever wine list. It never disappoints. Really enjoyed the visit. Portions not too big and great for sharing for a party of 3.
Just Ordinary, if that
Just Ordinary... the Trigger fish and Rudder fish were small portions and tasteless. Obsequious waiters. Loud and noisy...not a fine dining experience.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
