Best Contemporary American Restaurants in North Charleston

This restaurant is stunning ! The ambiance is absolutely incredible. The food and service was great. The only small issue was we ordered Cocktails first but no appetizers and our main courses came out to quick we had barely had a sip of our drinks. Otherwise an absolutely fabulous dinner

It was our first time in Charleston and we stumbled upon this restaurant. We had a great meal and left happy and full. If you sit in the “bourbon” side you have to make sure to check out the “bubbles” side too! Great contrast while still being cohesive. My husband and I recommend! I had the Sunday Sauce special and it was *chefs kiss*!

We arrived late into town due to an hour long traffic hazard delay and we’re worried about getting a reservation to a great restaurant. We were able to dine at Tempest and it was incredible! We had the tuna crude which was very good but the showstopper was the Swordfish Schnitzel with warm tartar sauce with trout roe. I/we are known as foodies-originally from California Bay Area! My husband said this was by far the best swordfish he had ever eaten! I agreed but was trying to identify the ingredients to prepare at home. We shared a bottle of wine and had the Some-More for dessert. Fabulous! Our server Dalton and his shadowing trainee, Megan were amazing as well! Truly a beautiful restaurant and amazing experience!, Do not miss it when in Charleston!

When you make a reservation at establishment like this, you expect the food to be good. It was. It was excellent. Now here are the small things. The ambience is outstanding. The server was extremely knowledgeable. Everything that we had came together like a symphony. The manager came to the table and offered us a glass of cava for our anniversary The price point equates to the quality of the food. From The service to the ambience this restaurant gets it and as a former restaurant owner, I appreciate the fact that they not only put out great food. They paid attention to all of the small details. 

We were celebrating our very young acting friend who does the gym for two hours M-F who was celebrating her 90th birthday! Our Queen of Everything, Myrtice charms everyone she meets with her high energy. The management graciously compted her meal and gave her a dessert. She was thrilled and we agreed to come back someday soon for breakfast since her workout time is 5-7! Thank you for your kindness to all of us, especially making Myrtice feel extra special!
