Our Story
The West Side Needed This.
The Beginning
Charleston's dining scene has always tilted east.
The peninsula, the Cannonborough-Elliotborough corner restaurants, the tourist-adjacent spots on King Street — they get the attention because they get the foot traffic. The west side of the river gets the takeout.
The Lick At 10 Windermere was built with a different assumption: that the people of James Island and West Ashley want excellent food, sourced with intention, and served without the bridge traffic. That there is a version of elevated American dining that lives in a neighborhood instead of performing for visitors.
No bridge required.

West Ashley, Charleston SC
The Standard
A menu built around what you actually want to eat.
The raw bar is serious. Our partnership with CHS Wagyu—Charleston's source for premium Australian and Japanese Wagyu—along with Purely Meat Co. for wet-aged USDA Prime, represents a sourcing standard that most neighborhoods don't get. Joyce Farms chicken. Gulf shrimp. Real stocks and real sauces.
This is dinner done right, at the address where it belongs.

The 'No Bridge' Philosophy
A West Ashley Mandate
The Lick At 10 Windermere was born from a simple premise: West Ashley deserves a restaurant that rivals anything on the peninsula. We’ve removed the bridge traffic from the equation of elevated dining, bringing a world-class raw bar and premier wagyu program directly to the 29407 neighborhood.
Sourced with Intention
Uncompromising Provenance
Our menu is a map of the world's best producers. Whether it’s CHS Wagyu’s Australian Marbling, Purely Meat Co.’s wet-aged USDA Prime, or Joyce Farms' heritage poultry, we source with a transparency that honors the farmer and the flavor. This is a culinary standard built on real partnerships.
From Burger to Tomahawk
Dining Without Pretense
A neighborhood table should be versatile. We execute a house-blend burger with the same technical intensity as a 40-ounce Tomahawk. Whether you’re stopping in for a solo glass of wine and oysters at the bar or a multi-course celebration, the experience is consistently elevated and genuinely welcoming.
Dinner Nightly from 4pm
The Standard of Service
We treat the hours of 4pm to 11pm as the most important part of the West Side's day. Our commitment is to provide a consistent, high-end atmosphere for James Island, West Ashley, and beyond. This isn't just a meal; it's the anchor of the neighborhood's evening.
“We aren’t just serving dinner. We are reinforcing the standard of what it means to be a neighborhood restaurant.”
