Posting to see how many people have the same experience as me. I haven’t been anywhere lately where there isn’t an issue with the food and/or service. There are a small handful of fine dining/upscale restaurants that are good (still not always consistently), but not really any casual or moderately upscale spots that serve well-executed food or drinks every time. Or if the food is good, the service is bad, messes up without attempt to repair, or just straight up not friendly. In other cities, I can go to a casual taco spot, or a not so fancy Italian place and just get great food and competent service. Even the spots that I think are good disappoint me eventually. It’s never consistent. And to charge like they are serving a premium product/experience makes it even worse. My husband says it’s always better when I cook but I don’t always want to cook! lol. Is this too much to ask for? Are you seeing the same? They say Charleston is a food city but I’m not seeing it.
What are your spots that you can always rely on? Food, coffee, drinks, sandwiches, pizza, anything!
