‘Top Chef’ Alum Opens Upscale Seafood Restaurant Tempest in Charleston | Eater Carolinas

"Opened by the 5th Street Group (owners of Market Street restaurant 5Church) on Friday, August 14, this newly transformed space at 32C N. Market Street presents an upscale seafood concept. The multi-level layout features dining rooms on the first and second floors, a small patio and a seated bar, with blonde wood, comfy banquettes and nautical touches; the downstairs is anchored by a massive stained-glass ceiling installation commissioned from Charleston artist Honey McCrary. Chef partners Jamie Lynch (a Top Chef alum) and Adam Hodgson offer a high-end seafood menu highlighting local shrimp, king crab legs, chilled lobster with allium aioli, monkfish liver mousse, and a raw bar whose selections can also be finished over a charcoal fire. Housed in the former Queology and Market Street Salon locations, the space aims for a polished, nautically inspired dining experience." - Erin Perkins
