Sorghum & Salt

One of my all time favorite spots in Charleston simply for their focus on fresh seasonal local vegetables. We love getting all the small vegetable plates and sharing them as one big feast. Favorites include their incredible beets, carrots, cauliflower, ricotta, but honestly everything we have tried has been innovative and delicious. Although it's a bit pricey, the quality of each dish makes it worthy. We've visited three times so far and will likely be back again and again.

Wow, this restaurant is incredible! Four of us went to dinner here last night and it was the best meal we all have had in a very long time (or maybe even ever)! We all have lived, or still currently live, here in Charleston, so we are very familiar with the Charleston food scene, and we all agreed this is one of the best restaurants here in town! Our server was amazing - kind, informative, attentive. The food was so creative and flavorful! Such interesting flavor combinations that you would never think of but was so delicious!

Enjoyable dining experience. I had the carrot small plate, potato gnocchi, and catch of the day. Everything was very flavorful. The potato gnocchi dish resembled more of a potato taste than a traditional gnocchi made from potatoes. However was still good. Plentiful vegetable option with appetizers and side dishes. Would recommend a visit

We did the tasting menu with wine pairing and sat at the kitchen bar. I was celebrating my birthday but they didn’t offer anything special for that in particular so just note that if you’re going to celebrate a special occasion. The food was good and interesting but nothing necessarily stood out to me as special or memorable compared to other tasting menus I’ve had. That said, perhaps the ala cart menu is a better way to go.

Sorghum & Salt is one of those rare restaurants that gets everything right food, service, and soul. From the moment you walk in, there’s an immediate sense of warmth and intention, like you’re being welcomed into someone’s home rather than just another dining room. The menu is thoughtful, seasonal, and deeply rooted in Southern flavors while feeling modern and refined. Every dish shows care and restraint bold without being heavy, creative without being forced. You can taste the quality of the ingredients and the confidence of the kitchen in every bite. Nothing feels like filler; each plate earns its place on the table. The blue crab dish is a standout — delicate, sweet, and handled with real respect. The crab stays front and center, never overworked or masked, supported by thoughtful accompaniments that enhance rather than compete. It feels coastal and refined at the same time, with a balance that shows confidence: nothing extra, nothing missing. It’s the kind of plate that quietly impresses you more with every bite. The Forx Farm Gouda tart is pure comfort executed with finesse. Rich without being heavy, the gouda brings depth and warmth, while the crust stays crisp and intentional. There’s a beautiful contrast between the savory richness of the cheese and the subtle sweetness and earthiness coming from the farm-driven ingredients. It feels indulgent but grounded rustic in spirit, polished in execution. Together, these dishes perfectly capture what the kitchen does so well: honoring ingredients, trusting restraint, and delivering flavors that feel both familiar and elevated. Service is where Sorghum & Salt truly shines. Genuine, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced, the team strikes that ideal balance between attentive and relaxed. You feel taken care of without ever feeling managed — real hospitality at its best. Add to that a cozy, intimate atmosphere that encourages conversation and lingering, and it becomes clear why this place stands out in Charleston’s crowded dining scene. Sorghum & Salt isn’t chasing trends it’s quietly executing at a very high level. A must-visit, and absolutely worthy of repeat dinners.

Had visited their former location several years ago and had been looking forward to a return visit. The new location was immaculate and perfectly set the tone for a deliciously memorable special occasion - our 20th anniversary. Every dish was beautifully presented and created with such distinct flavors. So much to savor - in the moment, and later as we reminisce a tasteful and perfect night in Charleston.

The experience, the food, everything was amazing. We originally ordered 3 dishes but since they were so good we decided to order 2 more. Bonus: sitting at the counter was the best choice, we could see all the food preparation and we chatted with one of the chefs.

Vegan friendly with some cheese and meat options. Pricy, but well worth the cost. The food was delicious! I kind of wish I could have licked my plate clean. The beets were so delicious! All three of us were having with our food. You should definitely visit the bathroom and check out the decorations!
