The bottom tier of the Triple Shellfish Tower at the Ordinary includes Oysters on the half shell, peel & eat shrimp & lobster cocktail.
The Ordinary Oyster Bar, located at 544 King Street, was opened in December 2012, by chef Mike Lata and his business partner Adam Nemirow. For their second venture together, they applied their dedication to local ingredients and farm-to-table techniques from their first restaurant, FIG, to the classic oyster hall format. The Ordinary is set in the refurbished Bank of America Building, complete with 22-foot ceilings, and its menu celebrates the “merrior” of the Coastal Carolinas and the East Coast.
Mike Lata and Adam Nemirow opened FIG, one of Charleston's most celebrated restaurants, in 2003. Lata was the recipient of the prestigious James Beard Best Chef Southeast award in 2009, after being nominated in 2007 and 2006. A native New Englander, he worked in kitchens in Boston, New Orleans, Atlanta and France before landing in Charleston as the Executive Chef at Ciboulette in 1998 where he became an active member of the Southern Foodways Alliance, co-founder of the Charleston Slow Food convivium, and the Official Charleston Representative for the Charleston Convention & Visitors Bureau.
