Charleston's dock‑to‑table gem is built on close relationships with local fisherfolk. Expect nightly queues and a menu that shifts with the day's catch. This dining room sets the benchmark for raw bar offerings: oysters take pride of place alongside triggerfish tempura or braised grouper, offering a glimpse into the city's rich seafood heritage. At the helm is Charleston native James London, who grew up cooking barbecue before honing his craft in New York and San Francisco, following training at the French Culinary Institute. With just 40 seats and no reservations, you'll want to get in early, or put your name on the waitlist before exploring the neighbourhood's boutique-lined high street.
