This. Is. It. Imagine your Michelin star experience, in small town local feel. Caleb made us feel like we were celebrities. From the decor, lighting, attention to detail, staff, food, and vibes, this place deserved their star.
The tasting menu was explained every step of the way for us, we were offered complimentary drinks because they were slightly late on seating us. They offered non alcoholic options without having to ask for it. Within 2 mins of sitting down, a different server came to ask my wife if she needed a purse hook noticing it was on the ground.
The food speaks for itself. The lobster Chawanmushi was my personal favorite with insanely perfectly steamed egg, balanced flavors, well seasoned, textured well, umami just blaring through this dish.
Baked oysters weren’t too big, not too cheesy, and had intense layers of flavor for a rockerfeller.
The friend chicken wing croquettes were probably our least favorite, though still good, it lacked any wowing depths of flavor or taste.
Tortellini was perfectly cooked, not mushy. Peas still had a decent crisp to them which is so rare. Pairing with mushrooms kept the umami flavors exploding.
The seared halibut I would’ve liked a better sear on, but it was flaky, butter, seasoned through, and the rice bed soaked up nicely with the glaze over top. Nice light and balance to the other bursting flavors.
Sourdough as a palette cleanser, came out warm, soft. Butter was too salty though.
NY strip was perfectly cooked, tender, and paired well with savory sauce. The tart while appealing, did not add much to the dish and felt out of place. The oxtail paired with chickpeas and the crumbly tart made it have a kind of powdery grainy texture.
Chocolate mouse ball cake may had been best we’ve ever had. Light, sweet but not overly sweet.
The drinks were amazing too! We did not do the pairing, but the drinks before we sat were elegant and just different than your regular bar drink.
This is for the foodie at heart, it may not make you super full physically, but from the flavors, complexity of tastes, and the experience, it’s an absolute must try here in Charleston. We cannot harp on the impressive service and attention here enough.

Hands down, one of the most enjoyable dining experiences in recent memory. There’s hype about the Michelin Star, obviously. It is 100% deserved. The welcoming & refined atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, excellently prepared dishes, and high-level service brings culinary satisfaction to all diners. Jessica & Joey up front took wonderful care of us while Chef Orlando and the whole BOH team provided course after course of delightful flavors. We were too busy enjoying the moment to take any photos. Highly recommend!

Wow. Wild Common was an incredible experience. This is one of those places that, in my opinion, stands a level above the rest at this price point, and even above most at higher price points—where passion and attention to detail are palpable and can be readily observed from the chef’s table as they delicately finish every plating. I left feeling full, satisfied, and like the experience was an incredible value, which is not all that common in “high-end” dining for me.
The experience felt personally catered, as the service was very friendly and made an effort to connect while not being overbearing. Each dish was described in detail as it was served. Chef Orlando even brought a few of the dishes out himself which felt like such a privilege! Every dish felt perfectly balanced in flavor, umami, richness, and sweetness. It’s obvious that Orlando is a master at his craft. Get reservations ASAP and sit at the Chef’s table!
Really, every course stood out in its own way, but the simplicity and perfection of the Charleston rice sourdough with house-cultured nutritional yeast butter, served as its own course, blew me away. I love how Chef really desired to showcase such a simple and often overlooked dish. The Maine lobster chawanmushi, dry-aged New York strip, and brioche doughnut also left me floored. That’s not to say the rest of the courses were any less fantastic. I did not drink, so I cannot comment on the cocktails, though they sounded incredible! I did have an N/A Garden Tonic which was fantastic!
The atmosphere was intimate and the space is gorgeous, while at the same time it did not feel overly fancy or pretentious.
Keep up the incredible work, Orlando, Paul, and the rest of the amazing Wild Common team—your craft truly brings people like me joy; and it’s a privilege to have an opportunity to share in your incredible food culture. I wish you the greatest success!

WOW! Can’t say enough about this restaurant. Tasting menu with wine pairing was incredible. I often wake up just wishing I lived closer the Charleston. Best meal I’ve ever had. Loved watching the chefs prepare everything from our seats. Really really really awesome restaurant.

My husband and I were traveling through Georgia and South Carolina for 11 nights, and I can honestly say that Wild Common was the best meal we had. I love the concept of a restaurant where the only option is a prix fixe. We sat at the chef’s counter and were able to watch the near-silent, balletic orchestration of the kitchen as they prepared some of the most delicious food I’ve eaten in recent memory. We didn’t opt for any of the menu upgrades and *still* felt as if we ate like royalty. Even items as simple as a single oyster or a slice of sourdough bread were impeccable. I’m still thinking about the scallops and the duck bao as well. The service was exceptional, the ambiance modern and fresh, and the cocktails excellent. I could not recommend Wild Common more highly.

Awarded a Michelin star in November 25. In my experience well deserved. Simply an excellent fine dining experience. No choice menu, chef is in control you are eating what they are serving in a multi course dinner. Exquisite service, excellent food in an elegant setting. Each course wonderfully presented and delicious. Wine pairings available although my wife and I choose to have a pre dinner cocktail and a bottle of wine. A very reasonable wine list available. Service supplied to us this evening by Nikki was superb.

Just stop what you’re currently doing and make a reservation for this place. The tasting menu at Wild Common is the best meal I’ve enjoyed in Charleston in 5 years of living here. I have dined at many restaurants in Downtown (including the very expensive ones) and they all pale in comparison to Wild Common. The tasting menu was constructed with so many flavors from different cuisines. It’s as if the chef took the very best tastes and melded them. Each dish was fun! For us, the real winners were the yellowfin tuna and the chanterelle/shiitake pasta.
Furthermore, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The chefs, Orlando & John, took time to speak to us and engage in friendly conversation. Our bartender/server was excellent and full of recommendations. It truly felt like a special night out in a place with people that are good at what they do. I am fully expecting this place to have a Michelin star when they finally make it to Charleston.
