Found this place by accident. Prices were really reasonable and we had the best and most reasonably priced crab cakes in the area. HOWEVER, we also ordered a clam dish and over half of the clams were unopened. Wherever I have had shellfish I was under the impression that if the shell doesn't open you don't eat it.

Mustard Seed used to be a hidden gem in Charleston that few people knew about. But it was inevitable that word of a place this good would spread and it has.

Restaurant came highly recommended from a tour guide, and did not disappoint. Bread was excellent, and so was service, while food was above average. I had a mussel linguini dish, which could have been more flavorful, but still very good. Would definitely recommend. more

wow - what a treat. after days and days in Charleston, eating at all of the 'highly recommended' spots, this one was something I picked myself right out of an ad in a local guide.

I've been eating at The Mustard Seed for eight years and have NEVER had an off meal. From roasted corn chowder to seared salmon w/ arugula and fennel, it's all good! Consistent, delicious, innovative menu! more
