    OVEN ROASTED CHICKEN
    Hajar B.

    We went there for my boss's birthday. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the restaurant is very low key and relatively quiet, except during lunchtime.

    Dynamite shrimp salad
    Natalie T.

    Food is always good. I love their dynamite shrimp salad. I especially like the tender juicy shrimp crisped up just right and served with the salad made from perfectly chilled lettuce, sliced pea pods, carrots, and sesame ginger vinaigrette! Delicious! Service is always great with ambiance of soft lighting beautiful interiors and delightful aromas. Always a favorite restaurant!

    Pecan crusted chicken w/ broccoli

    Other than the 1 hr and 10 min wait the food is excellent and service was exceptional. We understood the wait since it was parents weekend in Norman. Always our go to dinner destination.

    Smoked Salmon with a side of Mushrooms
    Maitina M.

    I came solo and decided to order the smoked salmon with a side Caesar Salad. The salad was amazing. It had a kick to it and I enjoyed the butter croissant it was paired with. I went with the smoked salmon as my main entree. Also delicious. The side mushrooms were good but I should have gone with something different. It just did not pair as well with the salmon but that's on me. Service was quick and friendly. The waitress kept checking up on me. I came hungry and left full. Loved my meal of choice!

    Top sirloin
    Christy S.

    We have been to Charleston's so many times, but we haven't been to this location in years. Everything was spot on! The service was great. The atmosphere was relaxed and intimate. And the food was delicious. We started with the cheese fries, which are no longer in the menu, but they will make them upon request. The fries were perfect with just the right toppings. I had my favorite chicken fried steak and the glazed carrots that are the best carrots ever. We need to start frequenting this location again!

    Food: 4.9 (Brussels were a miss) Service: 7 out of 5 (Thank…read moreyou, Madison F.) Ambiance: 5 (cool building!) We ended up at Scratch after trying to go to a nearby restaurant and it didn't work out. I called to see if we could be seated at Scratch without a wait and the person answering the phone was SO kind. Turns out he was the host. We were seated immediately and Madison F. took our drink and app order. The green chile hummus was OUTSTANDING although I would have liked some carrots or celery with the pita instead of the olives. Cosmopolitan and Old Fashioned were well mixed. The entrees? Holy cow. I had the coffee crusted pork tenderloin with Parmesan risotto and lemon Brussels sprouts. The pork tenderloin was the BEST I've ever had, hands down. The risotto was creamy and delish. Not a fan of the Brussels sprouts as they were too oily. Husband had the Creole seafood pasta and he ate every bite. We will absolutely be back.

    Interior- the entire place looks like a social media post with intention out behind creating…read morememoeable moments of togetherness, laughter, and selfies. Lots of faux foliage and neon cursive isms on the walls. We sat at the bar, which gave a beautiful display of the spirits inventory. The menu gave so many good savory options for the Fall weather from pork to beef to seafood, and appeared to feature mushrooms in a lot of their dishes. The bartender said he just started, so we knew to expect novice service. We had to flag him down for every order with only 4 people at the bar and when another staff member came back to help, neither of them could answer questions about the menu items such as whether or not the risotto had mushroom chunks in it. Fried green tomatoes - The plating speaks for itself, so I'll leave that to the readers' discretion. This a favorite for me wherever I go, but this was so bland, I was confused by the lack of flavor medley you usually get with this mixture. It appeared to have pepper seeds but I couldn't find any to determine what they were using for the heat component. They might have opted not to include a pepper. It was entirely watery and watered down. The tomatoes were breaded with more flour than cornmeal, which is fine, but we couldn't figure out what they were seasoned with. With the amount of water left around the slice causing a hard to cut, I stopped at one. This appetizer is served with your option of pimento cheese or black bean corn salsa. We chose the salsa, which is comprised of black beans, corn, tomato, red onion and traces of maybe cilantro or parsley. The buttermilk ranch has something like dill or similar note added into it, which helped make up for the lack of flavoring, but didn't cover the problematic bite. But let's get into the exciting stuff: We ordered the 4 dishes that stood out most based on sides pairings. Meatloaf: a slice of dense, somewhat mushy meatloaf loaded with flavor and topped with heat in the form of a tomato base sauce. It is mentioned on the menu that the space is spicy, but it really give us a surprising heat that balances well with the sweetness and savory notes. It was served on a plateau of red creamed potatoes. Listed as mashed, but definitely creamed. The potatoes mix very well with the flavor able oils from the meatloaf. This dish is also served with a seasonal vegetable which turned out to be eggplant and red bell pepper. I ended up picking out the red bell pepper to add to the risotto that came with the pork loin and leaving the eggplant. Pork tenderloin - encrusted with coffee grounds - a very interesting take on slow cooked pork. The risotto was creamy and soaked up the flavor from the tenderloin, which made for a wonderful infusion. Chicken Alfredo - this creamy dish was an easy fall weather pick. We took this home and the reheat was even thicker and flavorful from the seasoning and juices on the chicken. Salmon - this was served on a bed of thick, hearty risotto with lemon-fried Brussels sprouts. You can't taste lemon, so I think the acidity might have helped balance the Brussels as they cooked down. I prefer a crispy Brussels, so not my cup of tea, but the flavor was nice with the salmon's seasoning. Overall, the service, plating, and quality testing could improve the experience, but I don't want that to overshadow the incredible flavor pairings the kitchen put out for this first visit. Very much looking forward to returning for the next menu turnover to see what amazing plates Scratch will create
