R Kitchen is such a unique experience and a genius concept that I hope really takes off. The idea of allowing the guest to be a small part of the chef's creative process is so endearing and clever.
We've had the pleasure of dining at the chef's counter twice now. Both times we were served a complementary bottle of wine. The chefs stop the music, and explain each course as they are served.
The whole place has such a buzzing energy to it, with so much attention brought to the actual food and its artistry, there's an upbeat fun vibe about the entire experience beginning to end. Will definitely be back again and again.

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.
If you want an amazing dining experience you have to try R Kitchen! It’s a communal dining for 15-20 people with a daily custom 5 course menu! I think 2 seatings per night, 6 and 8pm. The food was unreal, but it was more than the taste, presentation and creativity of each plate, it was intimate and involved with the 3 chefs. It felt like a dinner party at a friends house who happens to be a culinary genius! They can accommodate food allergies, but the menu is for everyone and so go trust the pros to make you incredible food, you won’t be disappointed!
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.

Let me start with. I've never been through an experience like this, and regardless of your past experience, make a reservation and experience it.
You basicly have no idea what the dinner will be (they ask about allergies and such beforehand), and you are given an experience you'll not soon forget. 5 courses, starting with a wonderful appetizer and finishing with a delectable desert.
We began with a garden based soup, and they explained everything and the process beautifully, i was just struck by the flavors, so i can't recall the details.
We continued through the night, experiencing one dish after another. Because the menu changes each time, the specifics of the dishes themselves isnt as important as the freshness and flavor of the ingredients used.
The staff of 3 people presented a great experience, and at no time did you feel you weren't the center of attention. I would suggest no children under say aroubd 16 only because these dishes are fine dining and might not be for younger souls.
As i started this, i will finish it. Try it once. it's not cheap, but it is a wonderful experience worth every penny.
Let me start by saying this was by far one of the coolest dining experiences of my life. In my to 5 dining experiences for sure. The chefs were amazing. It quite literally watching artists at work. My favorite course was surprisingly the very first which was a tomato bisque and grilled cheese which is crazy because I’m normally not a big fan of tomato soup at all but it was bright with acidity while warm and rich and smooth and unpretentious. There were some pretty rude and abrasive customers there tonight but Chris and Linzy handled it tastefully and respectfully. Overall great environment, service and food.
Absolutely spectacular- we went in for brunch on last Sunday! I can’t speak highly enough about this place, wish I could give it 10 stars, the menu was incredible the day we went and everybody working was so nice! I did forget the noodle course but the other four are pictured below! (Fair warning they prefer Venmo for their method of payment)
Can we talk about food ➕ experience🙋♀️
Last night was one of our favorites we had so far in Charleston🤩
It was like eating in someone’s home! The chef opened the door at 8 and we all sat around a bar that faced the kitchen.
It was fun…it was delicious….it was a one of a kind unique experience!
Highly recommend if you are a foodie and like an experience with your dinner!

Okay, if you don't know about this place there are a few details you should find out about before your visit. This is a very unique dining experience. First off, you don't know what you are going to have until you arrive. Second, do not arrive early, or you will wait outside. Plan on sitting at a bar and having your food prepared in front of you. Now, the really cool part. It is a 4 or 5 course meal created uniquely for that day. Ours was a soup, salad, a pork dish, a beef dish, and a fantastic dessert. The minute of flavors is the key. I ate stuff I don't even like, but the way they prepared them was like something I had never experienced. The best way to describe this place is to tell you that you simply have to try it for yourself. Every visit is going to be different, and everyone is going to find some aspect of the evening that is unique for them. The experience is unbelievable, especially when you see the price or should I sat value. 5 course dinner includes wine, for $65.00/person. I hate to say it. They could and should charge more. So get there before they realize just how great they really are.

I love R kitchen!
R kitchen is a place where your server does everything. They provide you with conversation, they serve you a meal, they spend all day cooking said meal and lastly they clean up after you. It's a unique experience for sure.
You never know what will be served, so if you're a picky eater, this might not be the place for you.
The environment is energetic. The chefs want to have fun. The people beside you are also there to have fun. It's a great vibe all around.
Posted, you will find an example of the five course meal that I was served whenever I went(forgive me for the picture of the pork, I was so excited I forgot to take a picture until half way through). Wine was included in the cost, but there's also no corkage fee so bring your own bottle if you prefer.
I am generally satisfied whenever I leave; however, my wife usually needs us to stop by Chick-fil-A for a sandwich on the way home. The portion sizes are reasonable, but you may leave a bit hungry.
My favorite part this time was the Gouda soup. Chef Lala was the bomb! Great experience!
I hope you find this review helpful.
