Sullivan's Island

Great local find. We didn't have a reservation, so waited and sat at the bar. The bartenders were friendly and helpful, and the food was fantastic. We had the radiatore alla vodka, meatball sub, and fall salad. All were delicious. The pasta is one of the best I've had, including in Italy. Will definitely return when in the area. Also, had delicious gelato at their companion gelato shop downstairs. Highly recommend. One note - past servings, in addition to being delicious, are huge. Next time I'd order different ones and share.

went here on a date day in the spring of 2024. we were fortunate to grab a 230 reservation. highly recommend looking for reservations as this place fills up FAST. it is a fantastic choice on Sullivan's Island, offering a delightful mix of Southern and Italian cuisines in a beach-friendly atmosphere.large open environment with the tables tucked in. Little tight but worth it when you get to the food. We got a salad, pasta, and pizza and spilt it all. the salad was MASSIVE and so so good... also the farro chicken dish was a wild card that ended up as a star the server gave us phenomenal recommendations but really you cant go wrong. it is more than enough food to share. Also check out the little dessert market downstairs that has homemade (and customizable) ice cream cookie sandwiches!

As big fans of Wild Olive, we were excited to try The Obstinate Daughter, and it didn't disappoint! The atmosphere is inviting, with a coastal charm that perfectly complements the menu. We started with the pizza, which was decent but didn't quite blow us away. However, the short rib gnocchi was the real star of the meal--rich, tender, and absolutely delicious. My girlfriend couldn't stop raving about it! Overall, a solid spot with creative, well-executed dishes. Looking forward to returning and exploring more of their menu.

Been wanting to try O/D for a long and finally made it out on a Thursday night. It was cold and windy, but we sat on the heated patio. Our server was very friendly and suggested that we order a small plate, a pasta and a pizza as the best combination. We took her suggestion and did just that, as well ordered one of their signature cocktails. The farro/Brussels appetizer was generous and had a great flavor. The ricotta gnocchi with short rib was delicious and practically melted in your mouth. Rutledge pizza had a nice little hint of heat and a great, crispy crust. Oh, and drinks were strong! Overall, a fantastic experience and would definitely return, as well as recommend to others!

One of my top 5 favorite places in all of Charleston. Their food is 10/10 so fresh and homemade. I come here for their vodka radiatore and their miss Carolina pizza. The service is lovely and the ambience is coastal Italian and super cozy and it's cool that you can see the open kitchen. Their cocktails are also fabulous!

I think this was my favorite restaurant ambiance of all the places I visited in CHS. But, I was kinda shocked that given the rave reviews and amount of recommendations to come here, how far short it fell on our list while visiting. It was good, not great. We even sent back the scalloped crudo. Maybe because we were ruined by the delightful one at Husk that knocked our socks off. The pasta was extremely over cooked. Not Al Dente at all. The Brussels Sprout salad was my fav bite here, though, it was a HUGE portion and we should have been warned against all else we ordered. Stone crab was good and in season, but they need to supply better utensils to properly get the meat out. I felt like we had a bunch left behind for a pricey claw. The place was HOT, we had to ask for the air a few times as it was very stuffy. I wanted to love it. It's a solid like.

So nice we went back twice! I highly recommend reservations, and be warned, there are stairs with limited outdoor seating downstairs. Both evenings we had fabulous servers who were really knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. We had the cheese plate the first night and it was so yummy and clever (apple butter!). We enjoyed the carbonara pizza - that was so delicious! And the second night we had the short ribs pasta and the most amazing dessert: honey goat cheese ice cream with a spiced apple cake (we visited in late October). I highly recommend! And strongly urge reservations.

Best food of our trip. Service was amazing. Very attentive and helpful. Food was outstanding and portions were large enough to share and have leftovers. Had we eaten here first I would not have gone anywhere else. Be sure to have reservations as they seem to be busy. Try and go early too if you want specials and they were already out of quiche when we got there around 1230. I could not recommend this establishment more. It's a must!

First time in South Carolina, and was strongly recommended to come to Obstinate Daughter. They were not wrong. Sullivan Island is a nice little beach town and the vibe checks out. The restaurant is right above a gelato shop. We ordered a few items to share: polenta fries, local salad, peel and eat shrimps, chowder, and lamb skewer. The best item was the shrimp. It was fresh and perfectly cooked. The next item was the lamb. It was so tender and flavorful, not gamey at all. Everything was delicious and the service was great. Highly recommended.

Made a reservation for a Sunday on Labor Day weekend for a birthday dinner, and I'm so glad I did. Parking is not amazing in the area but come early and try to get street parking (that's what we did and got lucky). I believe there is a free parking lot down the road if you can snag a spot. It was a bit confusing to find the entrance (around the corner and up the stairs), but it was beautiful inside. Very coastal chic. Our waiter was extremely helpful and walked us through the menu since it was our first time! He also told us about their specials which sounded amazing. To drink, I went with the Kings Honey ($14). I thought it would be a little sweet from the lavender, but it was SO lemony - not a bad thing as I enjoy lemon, but just a heads up! For dinner, my boyfriend and I split the Ricotta Gnocchi ($28) and one of the specials of the day, which was a fish (I think grouper) with shrimp and risotto ($42). Both dishes were DELICIOUS! The homemade gnocchi was soft as a pillow and the meat sauce was perfect. I loved the chimichurri-esqe sauce with the fish and shrimp. They also brought out a little birthday treat (vanilla ice cream) for me, which was so sweet! And honestly it was some of the best vanilla ice cream I've had! All in all, I was very happy with my birthday dinner at The Obstinate Daughter and would definitely go back if I lived closer. It's a big of a splurge (for me at least), so it's great for a special occasion.

Excellent service, ambiance and food. Our waitress was so kind, and the food and drinks were great. Particularly loved the peach pizza!

Amazing ambiance and excellent service!!! Adorable eclectic spot right by the beach. The menu is very unique and has a wide variety of flavors - everything is complex and may not be very well suited for a picky eater (or kids). Their most "basic" pasta is the Radiatore a la Vodka (our waiter described it as his Death Row meal) but even that does have a LITTLE bit of a kick. It was excellent - just know nothing here is simple or "basic" !! The Old Danger pizza was a really interesting flavor but extremely salty. Same with their Mafaldine Carbonara. Glad I tried but personally would not order those again. My favorite drink of theirs is the Miss Annabelle - great with alcohol or without!! Super refreshing and sweet. A must-go for foodies if you're in Sullivan's but make a reservation as it gets packed, especially for dinner in high seasons! Removing one star ONLY because it may not be suitable for picky eaters or kids - they don't shy away from flavor and excitement!

One of our favorite meals in Charleston! Make sure you make a reservation asap because the wait is long unless you want to sit outside! It's a cute coastal and farm to table feel type restaurant. We started with their seasonal crab toast and it was fresh, light and tasty! The clam pizza is an absolute must. The shrimp roll was delicious but the fries were a little salty (even tho we loved the crisp)! Don't forget to go downstairs and visit their delicious gelato shop!!

I enjoyed our stop for a quick bite at the OF. Really good food and service - we tried their Local Lettuce salad (huge) and shared a pizza (Pepperoni and mushrooms), it was more food than you need for two people!

I came here with a big group of family members and we got to sit outside on the patio and it was lovely. I ordered the fish pasta. Sorry, don't remember the actual name but it had olives and big pieces of juicy fish. I dream about this pasta I need to go again. The waiter also recommended some white wine which also, was so good. Some people from my group weren't as pleased as me but I loved what I ordered. I'm going again

We had ourselves the best brunch morning at The Obstinate Daughter! Tucked into a cozy spot on Sullivan's Island, this restaurant is one not to miss!! The vibes are coastal and fun. We shared the coconut lime scones, Miss Carolina pizza, and the mousse duo. Coconut lime scones were perfectly cooked, with a perfect glaze - not dry at all and came with delicious butter and jam. Miss Carolina was a perfect pizza fix!! Mouse duo featured chocolate and salted caramel and was perfect way to finish our meal. We cannot wait to come back to try the pasta and more dishes!!

A beautiful and cute place in Sullivans island. We did reserve through rest as the place got very busy even at 2 pm. The food was just amazing from the rum based drink, the clam pizza, the pasta, the shrimp roll. Good sized portion cooked to perfection in a warm welcoming setting. Pasta was a bit dry, shrimp roll was delicious with fried cornmeal fries, the pizza could give best nyc pizzas run for their money. Overall a great experience, good service and huge portion of yummy southern style but different food. We are gelatos at their sister establishment just below called bearded cat

We've never had a bad meal at OD. Every dish has always been impeccably presented and tasted fresh, with the portions being the perfect size - although you'll be craving more of it by the end. Love the interior space, although I don't love that it's on the second floor with a walk up. That's a minor point but my dad has a bad hip so we can't take him there any time in the foreseeable future (unless there's an elevator I'm unaware of). Order the pizzas. Order the pasta. Order any fish dish you can. They're all fantastic. Pair it with a glass of wine or a cocktail and you can't ask for anything more.

While on our trip to Charleston we tried Obstinate daughter after seeing a lot of great reviews. We started with the obstinate flatbread with vegetables instead of the flatbread since I am gluten free. I was disappointed that they did not have gluten free bread. It tasted almost like a potato salad on vegetables which was a little weird. For a pasta it was suggested to get the ragu gnocchi. I got this substituted with gluten free pasta and wasn't impressed. The gluten free noodles were harder and undercooked and the meat/sauce was heavier in salt than I expected. This was a little more expensive of a meal and it was okay. They did have a parking lot next to the restaurant and the inside of the restaurant was cute!

The pizza was good but the farro with chicken appetizer?! Stole the show. Typically I wouldn't try something too different but I'm so glad I did. The truffle flavor, the Brussel sprouts, the chicken slices -- this is a perfect dish. If you're debating getting the violet cream soda mocktail, this is your sign to absolutely get it. Not to mention the service was top tier as well.

I was very excited to dine at The Obstinate Daughter after reading the reviews. I woke up at midnight just to book a reservation because reservations only open up two weeks out and getting a table for five is more difficult. I booked the reservation around 6pm on a Saturday night in June and it was very busy inside. We had to actually wait longer than our reservation time to get seated. The service was great and on par. The decor was quite rustic with a modern flair, and was pleasant to look at. We ordered the Old Danger and Porky Peach pizzas and the short rib Ricotta Gnocchi. These are all extremely delicious. The short rib gnocchi Ragu sauce was exceptional. It must be the best Ragu I've ever had and it had a big chunks of shredded short rib. Our meals came out about 10 to 15 minutes after we ordered. They must have pizzas just popping out of the oven due to the popularity and that's possibly why they were brought to our table so quickly. Our family was out of there within 45 minutes of being seated. Overall, I recommend this restaurant for great pizza and atmosphere.

So worth the hype. Food was incredible. Recommendations were spot on. Loved the Steamboat Oysters, along with the grouper and peach pizza. Ambiance was pleasant and quiet enough to hear my date. Book your reservations in advance as they are booked out for days. It's located on the second floor, so may be challenging to find at first. Good news - ice cream is on the floor below and well worth the stop.

We finally made it to OD, albeit for lunch. It's been around for quite some time and has an excellent reputation. Unfortunately, Sullivans Island isn't especially convenient for me, so I had to find a reason to hit this part of town. But today is a beautiful if chilly day and I had MtP chores, so here I am--and I'm really glad I came! OB is a local fan favorite and also has a great reputation with visitors for good reason. I snagged a reservation just in case, but I didn't need it. The parking lot is quite small and was full when we arrived, but the restaurant itself was far from packed. We were seated immediately and snagged a window booth. The service was outstanding--the host noticed how chilly I was and immediately offered tepid vs iced water and pointed out a couple of lunch options that would warm me up! I perused the lunch menu and I admit I was underwhelmed--the titles and descriptions didn't inspire...Once the server arrived, she also made a couple of recommendations and offered her faves as well. Based on her input, I went with the Old Danger while my companion opted for the puree and the chowder. Wow! The menu descriptions may have been a bit basic, but the dishes were truly excellent! The purée was rather like a hummus but much more flavorful. It's full of spices, with a tad of finely chopped red onion and topped with chives and really good olive oil. The chowder was outstanding--I often find frogmore stew bland , but the OD chowder fixed every problem I've ever had with frogmore stew! The broth was again well flavored and not overcome with cream--really good cooking here! My flatbread was a revelation. The baked egg in the middle was perfect and added a layer of richness and umami that married the pancetta perfectly. The flatbread is thin and crispy--the mozzarella, parm and white sauce are barely present and virtually undetectable. That's unfortunate because a slightly heavier hand with the mozzarella would have been nice. Given the location, ambience, setup, creativity of the menu, portions, and service--the price point is surprisingly fair. I definitely recommend and will come again!

OMG why did I wait to come here for so long?? The food was nothing short of amazing. Probably a close tie with FIG as my favorite restaurants so far. This place was cute, clean and inviting. Our server Ashley was so helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and made some recommendations. 1. The pizza, YUM! I forgot what it was called but it had peaches and pork. What a great combo of savory sweet! 2. Radiatore vodka sauce pasta was AMAZING. Like what are these noodles?? Out of this world from the texture to the sauce, it was perfection. Had a nice kick to it and the sauce was creamy and filled every crevice of that pasta! 3. Catch or special of the day - grouper with corn/cilantro risotto. First I don't even like cilantro, so when u make something tasty that I don't usually eat it's a win for me. Fish was fresh and cooked perfectly. Risotto was light, creamy and that corn gave it the perfect sweetness. 4. Short rib gnocchi- holy flavor! I've never had gnocchi like this before. The texture was spot on, not mushy but still firm and soft. The tender short rib and the flavor was just delicious. 5. Creme brûlée and Panna Cotta- I'm not a huge dessert fan. But if there's Creme brûlée I'm getting it for sure. Very crunchy crispy flambéed sugar crust of course and creamy goodness underneath. It wasn't the best I've ever had but it was still good. Panna cotta with the blueberries also good. But not too sweet. We had the 2017 Brunello Di Montalcino with our food and it was nicely chilled and the perfect paring with our food. Overall a great time and I cannot wait to go back! This meal was very memorable for me.

If I could give this place a 10 stars I would! I have seen the videos online of influencers coming here and posting about it so I was skeptical as to the hype, but I brought my mom here while she was in town and man did it live up to it! Our bartender, Nick, was very friendly and helped me with a ton of recommendations to walk us through the menu. We ended up settling on Farro with Chicken and Radiatore. Both were recommended by Nick and both were amazing choices! My mom ate all the Farro with chicken in one sitting and even said I need to re-create this when I get home. Not a ton of parking however, they do have a small parking lot for about seven cars in front. The restaurant is on the second floor so you will need to take the stairs up, but they also have an ice cream shop on the lower floor.

This is an amazing place! I can't believe I forgot to review it when we were in the area back in May, but we were just talking about how good it was 4 months later. Of course now we are 2,800 miles away... but if we are ever in the area, we definitely will be back! The Moultrie Pizza was outstanding. Excellent crust. The ambiance cannot be beat, the decor was fantastic and it made you just want to... stay. The service was excellent quick friendly and attentive. Definitely a highlight of our time in that area. Highly recommend!

Sadly, my experience did not mirror the overwhelmingly positive reviews here. I think it was due to being a solo diner on a holiday weekend; they treated me like an afterthought and didn't listen to me when I expressed an issue. I think I would've had a much better time had I been with friends. I was in Charleston to celebrate my birthday. During lunch on Friday, my friend that I was visiting with had to work, so I took the opportunity to drive myself over to Sullivan's Island based on all the incredible reviews on here. I arrived around 2 pm I believe; it was after peak lunch hour but it was still quite full in there. As a party of 1, I was immediately placed at the bar in the most uncomfortably placed seat possible. I've tried uploading my photos a few times but Yelp isn't processing the request. Essentially, an older woman's chair was pushed up closely next to mine, while the placemat was slanted toward the left. It would've been an ideal seat for a couple, instead I was just awkwardly sharing direct space with an older man; he had to move his food when I sat down. It was part of the L-shaped meeting point where the bar kind of juts out. Hopefully Yelp will post my photo at some point so you can see what I mean. Anyway, the first bartender to serve me was kind and since they were busy, I didn't ask for a better seat. I ordered the Miss Annabelle mocktail from her, which was tasty but also $9 for essentially just purple cream soda. I asked her how the pizzas were prepared, and she said it was 11 inches cut into six slices, so I ordered the Old Danger pizza. This is where things really went south. My $20 pizza arrived with a pizza cutter. I looked to my right and the older lady's pizza was cut, so I asked the guy bartender why mine wasn't. Apparently it was to "preserve the integrity of the egg yolk." I expressed that I was told it would be cut and would prefer the kitchen cut it, being that I've had pizzas with eggs on them elsewhere that were cut, and he replied, "Sorry" but refused to oblige. The pizza also arrived lukewarm and was only okay taste-wise. I wasn't checked on after that, and sat there watching them dote on the older ladies while I sat scrunched and increasingly annoyed. I couldn't wait to pay and get myself out of there. This was the only miss of my birthday weekend, and I hope in the future they'll treat solo diners with a touch of respect. Giving two stars is generous for me. I hate writing poor reviews, but it's a few days later and I cannot get the sour taste out of my mouth from this experience.

Love this place. The food was fantastic! The ravioli was delicious and the drinks were fantastic! I would highly recommend!

A great spot to go with a group and share some plates - you'll want to try everything! Our servers have always been attentive, friendly, and great at pacing the orders so you're not having all the pizza and pasta show up at once. The radiatore is a must. Also highly recommend The Old Danger pizza & duck leg appetizer. It can be hard to snag a resy since the restaurant isn't huge, but it is so worth it. Even Italian food aficionados from up north love it here!!

Had a great first time here! Popped out for a Saturday lunch. Parking is as expected as Sullivan's so just be prepared to walk a little bit. We didn't have a reservation so snagged a spot at the bar. If you have your heart set on eating here or a party bigger than 2, reservations are necessary. The bar staff were super attentive and great. We loved the pepperoni and mushroom pizza as well as the carbonara. They had a cheese lard special that was excellent. One NA beer option which is always nice to see!

We had 3 different pasta dishes, all which were top notch. Nice ambience inside too. Definitely one of the best restaurants in the area. It is mainly Italian focused cooking, but a lot of it is done with unique flairs and twists. Their famous ricotta gnocchi for example has pine nuts and lemon zest on the ragu sauce. Flavors were pretty great, and next time I look forward to trying the pizza!

Such a lovely restaurant that's not situated too far from the beach. We had a dinner reservation but ended up coming here for lunch instead and sat at the bar. When we came, one of their daily specials was the peel-and-eat shrimp and it was so fresh and seasoned well. I wasn't wow'd by the sauces, but luckily didn't need them because the shrimp were fantastic. I also ordered the ricotta gnocchi, as the bartender recommended it. The short rib was savory and rich, and the house made gnocchi was decadent.

First time visiting The Obstinate Daughter and I really enjoyed the food, the pizza and shrimp roll were especially delicious! The service was friendly and efficient, and the ambience was upbeat. Definitely worth a return visit the next time I'm in town!

I visited OD for the first time recently with heightened expectations and am glad to say they were met. From its well-prepared Italian fare (with a nod to the Lowcountry), to its highly competent servers and a tasteful beach-chic atmosphere, OD was firing on all cylinders. Lots of pleasant surprises were in store during our recent lunch there. For starters, the Swamp Fox is a potent bourbon-based concoction that tastes like the offspring of an Old Fashioned and a Bloody Mary. The Frogmore Stew was fantastic and would be the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day (if one ever comes at the end of this crazy hot year). We also had the crab cake appetizer, which was superb--chock full of local blue crab on a bed of greens with roasted peppers. For entrees, we went with the Short-Rib Gnocchi and Market Fish Campanelle. The gnocchi was melt-in-the mouth soft and a super rich dish paired with the tender short-rib. Impeccably prepared, it was a hit and compared favorably with gnocchi we had this summer in Murano. The Campanelle (funnel-like pasta) was a bit inconsistent depending on the particular bite. Dusted with breadcrumbs with grouper, roasted red peppers and green olives, it didn't seem to have a true sauce per se, but retained enough sauciness to avoid becoming dry. The portions were huge and conducive to sharing. We finished off with apple spice cake that was served with a honey goat cheese ice cream, which was a perfect pairing. All in all, a memorable experience, and I'm already looking forward to a return trip. (4.5 stars).

We just spent a week eating at some of the big names in downtown Charleston (FIG, Lowland, 167) and wrapped the trip up with some restaurants off the peninsula. Although I don't know that you can compare it to other restaurants in the area, the Obstinate Daughter was lovely all on its own, and in its own way. We loved our dinner here, from the Brussel sprout app to the pancetta pizza and cocktails. It was a wonderful surprise and worth the visit. We came the week after Christmas, but reservations are still hard to get no matter the time of year. Make sure to book as soon as they open two weeks out, or you may miss out on a fantastic night out.

Cutest vibes in this place. Easy walk from the beach. Super cute and classy on the inside. Small but diverse menu. Flat breads were amazing!!!! I had breakfast for brunch and no complains. Cinnamon roll app was literally a sweet touch!!! The breakfast sandwich was definitely brunch worthy nom-noms. Fast and friendly service. We walked from the beach so not sure on the parking situation but it's probably horrible beach parking nightmares. Highly recommend coming on foot. We didn't have a reservation but they sat us within 30 mns and we were a big group so that was nice. Bar area is gorgeous. Really had a nice time. Service was okay. Our server mixed up some of the items but we sorted it out amongst ourselves but it was slightly irritating. Otherwise, glad to have found this place. Ps- might sound wierd but you need to check out these restrooms at the restaurant. They have this super chill moody calm vibe. Not being wierd...just sayin' they are cool and different so recommend a peek in on your way out.

This place is sooo good! We came on a Saturday around 1pm with no reservation for a group of 3. We were told a table outside would be ready in about 10 minutes, and that we could order a drink at the bar and walk anywhere on the property with it. This is great because we were able to go into the sweet shop while we waited! We had the Radiatore which I will dream about for years to come--HIGHLY recommend. My friend who has a gluten allergy had the same dish and subbed the gluten free penne--which you can do with any of their pasta dishes. We also shared the scones of the day (Jalapeño Cheddar), the seasonal peach pizza, and the carbonara pizza. Literally everything was delicious--including the various cocktails that we tried. Our servers were so friendly and helpful, giving the perfect recommendations. I wish we were here with a larger group so we could order even more. Definitely going back ASAP!

We had a great dinner and our server Chris was outstanding. He allowed us to slowly make our way through the menu progressively, so we had a few things at a time. This made sure we didn't over or over but we're able to enjoy so many things from the menu. Everything was very tasty and delicious. The service was outstanding. I would definitely come back well worth a trip over to the island.

Overall, just didn't have a good experience. It was packed on a Sunday night and they sat at these "cocktail tables" for dinner. These tables are in between the bar and the booth section, a person needs to nearly turn sideways to walk through it, and there is a steady stream of people brushing your shoulders as they make their way to and from the bathroom. Needless to say (but I will) it was not an enjoyable dining experience. Additionally, these tables for two can barely accommodate two plates and two drinks. The pizza itself was very average.

Located close to the beach, The Obstinate Daughter is a great location for a pre- or post- beach meal. If you're planning an outing with a larger group, this is also the place to be. We called ahead and made a reservation, which made the whole process seamless. While the private parking is limited, don't let that deter you -- there's plenty of street parking nearby, and the short walk is well worth it. The brunch offerings ranged widely -- there's something here for every palate. I opted for their radiatore pasta this time around and was not disappointed. From what I hear, the pizzas are equally outstanding. Our server was attentive and friendly, making our dining experience all the more enjoyable. Whether you're a local or just passing through Sullivan's Island, do yourself a favor and pay a visit here!

This was the very best pasta I've ever eaten! I've been dreaming of it ever since!! Don't miss it if you're in the Charleston area

The obstinate Daughter in Sullivans Island was a great experience for a large group of friends. We came on a holiday Monday (New years) and were surprised to see that there was no brunch menu.. apparently it only happens on the weekends and we didn't know. So we ended up ordering from the regular menu and upon asking our server which were his favorite items, I split the farro salad and the Pizza with an egg with a friend. Both options were great but I got to say the Farro salad takes the crown. It was so very unexpected and flavorful that I am obsessed with it. the service was very kind and fast although I did feel like my coffee was a bit stale and not a great cup, so i would not order coffee again on a weekday after noon. Will have to go back on a weekend to try the brunch!

Great service, we sat at the bar and the entire bar staff was so kind and very attentive! We ordered wine, oysters, radiatore vodka pasta, and the Moultrie pizza. The pizza was my favorite! The pasta was more on the sweet side and not like your traditional vodka sauce pasta but still good.

I've only made it all the way out here once but it was 10000% worth it. The beet cured salmon was to die for as well as the pizza I had. The Bloody Mary with wasn't my favorite, but it's definitely fresh and a different take from the usual "Charleston" Bloody Mary Mix. Service is great and you can tell they keep staff around. I wish it wasn't so far from me or I would be there weekly.

The Obstinate Daughter was a must during our visit in Charleston due to all the reviews and recommendations. The Obstinate Daughter lives up to all the hype. The service, food and cocktails were on point. Let me just say, if my husband and I lived in Sullivan's Island, we'd be regulars at the bar. We went back the next day for some pizza and it was soo soo good and I don't eat a lot of pizza. This was the most fun and delicious dining experience we had during our stay in Charleston. Make a reservation because it's a busy restaurant

We waited a bit to get in, even with a reservation. Busy this Sunday around lunchtime. Parking was an issue so we parked at the nearby school and walked. There is nearby street parking and a small private lot too, if you get lucky. We were seated upstairs, rather than outside, which we were glad for. Crowded dining room with tight seating, but it was fine. Excellent service, and our food came quickly. The pizza was amazing! We split one, and then split the radiatore pasta too. Maybe it was that I was so hungry, but it was some of the best food I've ever had. The 2 Aperol spritzes were extra good too. The open kitchen is clearly visible and there is a long bar. I'd like to try the brunch sometime too. Our waitress said the scones are really good!

Had a 4:30pm dinner reservation, that I made weeks out. Had heard about this restaurant for years. Beautiful restaurant and ambience. The waitress was checking in on us every few minutes and we felt extremely rushed the entire time. It was the fastest dinner experience we've ever had. We were out in under 40 minutes. Really did not enjoy that, and did not feel welcome to stay the full 1.5 hours that our reservation supposedly allotted. We got pasta (too spicy) and a pizza that was thin and not that good. Nothing to write home about. Love the area though. Next time won't be duped by Instagram.

Where do I start... This place was highly recommended by some friends we made while in NYC, so we made the trip out the Sullivans Island for lunch (dinner reso's are tough). First off, our salad had a piece of glass, or broken plastic. Secondly, they prepared the wrong entree. The restaurant was changing over to their mid-day/pizza menu, in preparation for dinner, so the service felt a little inattentive. The food was solid, but not good enough to recover for our overall experience. Last note- the music was a very odd choice for the setting

Kicked up Italian Stopped by for lunch. Tried their curried clams which wasuper fresh and packed with curry flavor. Paired well with complementary fresh from the over flatbread. We also got the old danger pizza which was perfectly charred and crisp. Topped with scallions and prosciutto. Dunked extremely well in the over easy egg in the middle - so good. Portions and service here is excellent. Chill vibe. Right by the beach too. PSA: let the host know if you are celebrating a special occasion. We got complimentary champagne!
