R Kitchen West - Charleston

The menu changes everyday, so it is possible to have something you don’t care for, the experience that has been put together will outweigh any of that. We have loved everything we have experienced at the R Kitchen.

This was such an incredible experience! The chefs explained each dish and played in front of us. One of the coolest dining adventures we have done.

For tourists and foodies looking for an off the beaten path option that is sure to impress, look no further. R Kitchen is booked weeks out in advance and for a good reason. When we first walked in, we were warmly greeted by the owner, Ross, who treated us to a cold drink and wine. The environment is welcoming and eclectic. He explained that generally there is more staff, but tonight we would be served mainly by him, which turned out to he down to earth and relaxed.The dinner started off with an explanation of the five courses, which I'll admit sounded odd but having an open mind, I gave everything a try and was pleased that I did. From the tomato soup with pork belly, a salad with shrimp and apples, chicken with squash and rice, steak with collard greens and cauliflower puree, and then warm strawberry dessert with Bleu cheese garnish. Again, trusting the chef's inspiration and process paid off, as both my husband and I enjoyed every minute.Please note that for the photos, the first course I forgot to take a picture of and the others I was dying to dig in and were partly consumed.

We made a reservation for a birthday dinner, each course was better than the last! The cooks explained each dish, which local ingredients were used and they were very entertaining. Great atmosphere, loved the small intimate space. We brought a bottle of wine, but we didn't open it, there was a lot with our dinner. We will definitely be back, wonderful experience!

What a place! The atmosphere was fantastic. The food was delicious. The chefs were great and kept us all on our faces with a smile. We loved it very much! Although we did not know what was on the menu, we were not disappointed by any court! Look at the dessert, so delicious! In any case recommend visiting!
