Word on the street
What locals are saying
Tempest occupies the former Harriott Pinckney Home for Sailors on Market Street — a multi-level historic space with a stained glass ceiling and a Mibrasa charcoal oven doing serious work on roasted shrimp, local clams, and a raw bar that leans into Bulls Bay provenance. The end-of-meal Armagnac pour and rose for the table is a house tradition that earns genuine affection rather than eye-rolls, and the service consistently draws the loudest praise. The split: devotees of the charcoal program and the ocean rolls return without hesitation, while a vocal minority finds entree portions too precious for the price point and occasionally questions freshness on the day's fish.
