Zero Restaurant + Bar in Charleston: Contemporary American Tasting Menu

Zero Restaurant + Bar, at 0 George St. in Charleston, serves contemporary American cooking and was listed as Michelin Recommended in 2026. The restaurant operates within Zero George, a boutique hotel, and its tasting menu is the main draw.

The kitchen and its menu

The tasting menu comes out of one of Charleston's smallest professional kitchens. Tyler Chavis is chef de cuisine, and Vinson Petrillo serves as creative culinary director for Easton Porter Group. Local ingredients anchor the cooking. Forbes singled out one dish, red shrimp with muscadine marshmallow, curry and peanut.

The Caviar Bar and classes

The Caviar Bar serves Regiis Ova caviar alongside inventive caviar-inspired plates. Guests can also book cooking classes that include time watching the chef, or wine classes led by the sommeliers. A Bourbon & Burgers session pairs rare whiskeys with a Wagyu truffle burger.
