The Spot
Coda del Pesce — Italian for "tail of the fish" — is Ken Vedrinski's all-Italian seafood restaurant on the second floor at Isle of Palms, built around its ocean view as much as its menu. Vedrinski, who also owns and cooks at Trattoria Lucca downtown, serves as owner, executive chef, and sommelier here.

The 70-plus-seat dining room runs a menu that changes daily depending on local seafood, alongside homemade pasta. Gnocchi and fried calamari are among the dishes noted on the menu.

Charleston City Paper named Coda del Pesce among the city's best restaurants for 2026.
