Basic Kitchen - Charleston

Hubs and I loved it! Great vegan and pescatarian options considering it?s in the south. We had sweet potato fries and basic bowls with salmon. Planning to come back before we leave for home. Yum! Very pleasant server. ?? Edit: We went back the next day for lunch and had the Good Burger which was fantastic. The place was super busy even at lunch!

My tip: try the basic bowl even if you are a meat lover. This place has a warm and welcoming feel. It does not hurt that the bartenders are super cute and know their craft mixing drinks and trying their own concoctions. I was willing to drink anything they offered. I like the casual but upscale atmosphere of Basic and I certainly would be a regular if I lived in Charleston.

I was super excited to make this my new favorite spot, but we were disappointed. We seek out healthier clean restaurants in the area and we were left with a little more to desire. First all of the oil used had soy in it from what we were informed? also all of the dressings and sauces. We were also surprised by the small portions and the fact that our waitress never refilled our drinks and barely spoke loud enough for us to hear. My sword fish was very good. Hope to check

Excellent all around. Each one of our dishes was prepared perfectly and so flavorful while accomodating a gluten allergy. The servers were all so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Despite being busy, all of our dishes came out timely and fresh. Definently will be back here again.

I can?t remember the last time I was so pleasantly surprised by a restaurant. We were a group of 10, so we arranged for a family style meal and the chef blew out socks off. The beet hummus with fresh veggies was so flavorful. The buffalo style cauliflower was ridiculous! The food was matched by the service. Basic Kitchen has a friendly vibe and top notch staff attending to whatever we needed, all while being playful and friendly. Highly recommended. We will return.
