    The food and service were impeccable. The barrel cut filet was so delicious and cut like butter. We ordered the Oysters Rockerfeller, 2 Medium Stone Crab Claws and the Shrimp Cocktail to share and it was all excellent. We split a loaded baked potato and charred brussels sprouts. We eat here periodically but it's worth the splurge.

    Great variety on menu. The Poke bowls were wonderful. My hamburger was delicious and cooked exactly as I ordered it. The wait staff was attentive, informative and friendly. We’ve eaten there before and it is always consistently excellent. It’s a bit dark and we did need to use our phone “flashlights”. All in all, a very nice restaurant

    We went on a Sunday and, even though they had a Brunch Buffet we opted to order from the menu. The food was hot and fresh and delicious! The service was excellent. The server was kind and very enthusiastic. We were also greeted by management who came to make sure everything was to our liking. Overall great experience and I recommend this restaurant.

    We never visit Pawleys Island without eating at the Hot Fish Club. The seafood platter is fantastic. Jamie, our waiter, did a great job, as usual.

    The music was too loud. I had out of town guests and I couldn’t hear each other speak because the music was so loud. We were sitting in the small room off the main room. Do you only play loud country music?
