    It was my girl birthday, let just say she had a blast. The food was Divine. It was the second time bringing her there. And we both loved it, most definitely will be going back. We had our favorite the prime rib with bone marrow and the king crab. Simply wonderful experience, the server was amazing 👏 as well.

    Me and a dear friend dined at Rusty Scupper on Thanksgiving day for their annual Thanksgiving buffet. The Rusty Scupper does this in a top shelf fashion. This is not your typical low end or medium end restaurant style buffet. This is exceptional quality food, the attendants make sure that every tray is warm and filled and the table service is phenomenal. This is the second year that I have died there on Thanksgiving day and it is a cherished event. If you have not tried it, you need to.
