If your Charleston visit doesn’t include a deep-sea fishing trip, dinner at The Ordinary is the next best addition to your itinerary: Mike Lata’s second restaurant is the city’s leading interpreter of fresh local seafood, including grouper, porgy, swordfish and squid. The drinks list has a similar maritime pitch, with wines from coastal Europe and bright cocktails perfect for pairing with shellfish. The bar has lately dialed back its emphasis on rum, but still produces an exceptional Daiquiri.
