Worth the drive to Sullivan's from the other side of town. The pastas are all extreme good and the pizzas is top notch. Recommend the gnocchi and the Moultrie pizza! The parking lot is small, but there is a paid lot that is almost right beside it that was used. We will definitely be back!
There isn’t enough time to list how impressed we were with The Obstinate Daughter. The food was amazing and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable too. The menu does a good job explaining each dish but our server Chris added little details that brought it to life., “it says horseradish but it’s really grated horseradish that is the consistency of Parmesan Cheese”. He was spot on and it really changed the whole dish done that way. Chef has an eye for the little touches!
We have been waiting to go here since December, when we couldn’t get in without a reservation for lunch and it’s worth the wait! Our waitress was very friendly and knew the menu well. We had the cheese plate and salad to start and both were amazing! For entrees we had the pork ragu gnocchi, shrimp roll and The Old Danger pizza. Wow! Let me tell you! This chef knows his stuff and this food was so amazing! The pizza was so simple but total perfection! Also had bloody Mary’s, in which I bought the mix online at the table because it was so good! I highly, highly recommend this place! Get a reservation, and go! I can’t wait to go back for dinner!
Wow! Great food, great service, great local bourbon. Thank you for topping my short trip off on a special day. The bartender today ... can’t remember her name but was wonderful.
Stumbled in this restaurant after a quick beach day and considering the location and it being Sunday lunchtime, I was pleasantly surprised to get a spot! My friend and I got the chicken farro to start, and it was delicious. So many interesting elements but they all work well together. There were crispy brussel sprouts, perfectly seasoned chicken, bits of peanuts, and also an amazing vinaigrette. Would recommend! Gnocchi and short rib are two of my favorite things so when I saw the menu item I knew I had to get it. The gnocchi was so tender with delicious short rib that melts in your mouth. My only complaint is that the dish was on the saltier side. I also tried my friend's shrimp fusilli and it was great too! Would highly recommend this restaurant especially if you're in the area!
The OD is to die for, you absolutely must come here if you’re visiting. We had the Local Lettuce Salad (which might have been the freshest salad I have eaten since we traveled to Greece). We had the Just Peachy pizza - which was being a bit adventurous for me - but it was outstanding. The sweet and salty flavors mixed together so well. We also got the Radiatore pasta - the bowl of pasta is huge (you can definitely share)! The pasta itself is so delicious, and fun shapes! It’s a melt in your mouth sort of pasta. Our server was incredible - even though he was so busy, he was attentive to everything that we needed/wanted! The vibe of the restaurant is a coastal, cozy dream! I cannot say one bad thing about this place - 10/10 recommend!!!
WOW. Best meal I had while visiting Charleston. Our server was delightful and the experience was excellent! So welcoming. The food — my lord — perfect. Between 3 of us for lunch we shared the butter lettuce salad, the rigatoni, and the pizza. Everything was so incredibly fresh and delicious. Spectacular quality. A MUST VISIT!!
Very cute restaurant with really beautiful decor. Did a reservation with friends and really enjoyed. Large American food menu with pretty quick service and delicious meals. We ordered food that ranged from pizzas to sandwiches to pasta. My favorite was the shrimp roll. Overall wonderful experience and recommend
