- HHeidiVirginia •8 reviews4.0Dined on Apr 13, 2025The food was amazing and creative! My husband and I ordered the Bao buns and the pork schnitzel and had crème brûlée for dessert. The only problem was when we ordered our second round of drinks, the waiter disappeared and it was another 20 minutes before someone else arrived to check on us. By that time it was late and we were ready to leave so we got our check and when they brought the check, they also brought out my second drink but did not charge me so that made up for it a bit.More infoOystercatcherPrice: Expensive• Fusion / Eclectic• Isle of Palms•3.7
