Food was really good - however, the restaurant was out of horseradish (for oysters) and parmesan cheese (children's spaghetti). Large party (30 people) took several waiters ( including ours), so we didn't get the normally good attention which the restaurant probably usually provides.

Hi Terry, thanks for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the food, but we apologize for the missing ingredients and the service hiccup during the large party. We appreciate your understanding and hope to provide a smoother experience on your next visit!

Our server, Jasmin, was terrific. I ordered the wrong drink (brain hiccup) and she took it back without making me feel bad for being an idiot and brought the one I meant to order my salad was delish, my husband cleaned up his bowl of bean soup. He had the mahi mahi catch of the day and I had the low country bouillabaisse. Best broth ever and the seafood was fresh. It could have been shared. No room for dessert.

Elizabeth, we’re delighted to hear about your fantastic experience with Jasmin! It’s great to know you enjoyed the low country bouillabaisse and that your husband loved the mahi mahi. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you both back for dessert next time!

The service was good. The food was very mediocre with somewhat bizarre combinations. For what is served, it is overpriced.

Overpriced with a slow kitchen. Mediocre food with a menu that doesn’t have a lot of options. Nicer places in town at lower price points.

Had 6oz filet that came with asparagus and baked potato. The filet was good. More medium than medium rare. The baked potato was small and I had 3 asparagus stalks. Not much for $39. Would have like a larger potato and definitely more asparagus.

Thank you for your feedback, Nancy. We're glad you enjoyed the filet but we appreciate your input on portion sizes. Your comments help us improve and ensure a better experience for our guests. We hope to see you again soon!
