    We had dinner on Thanksgiving and it was all very nice. Not crowded at all and the food was good. My salmon was a little overdone, but I take responsibility for that as I didn't specify medium rare and it was well done. Our waitress was outstanding.

    Food was fair. Shrimp was overcooked. Service was great. We sat outdoors. The bugs were distracting. Not sure management can do something about it.

    The hostess was wonderful. Food was good. Mentioned that it was a birthday celebration and waitress did not even mention desserts.

    The restaurant itself is nice- we brought my mother there for her 74th birthday. I ordered the Chesapeake Bay Mac and cheese, and I must say, for the cost of that dish I was really disappointed- I was charged $36.00 for a plate of mac and cheese that had 4 shrimp and about a tablespoon of very finely minced crab. I get that seafood is expensive, but for that price it was not worth what I paid, and the dish was barely warm. We were also charged separately for the sides that were supposed to come with the meal. I did not complain at the time because I did not want to upset my mother (as it was her birthday dinner and she enjoyed her meal), but that Chesapeake Mac and Cheese dish needs some work to make it worth that price.

    The food is always delicious & we haven’t had anything we don’t like. Fried chicken dinner & Crabcake sandwich were amazing. Be sure to get the rockfish bites as an appetizer!!!

    Had no problem with the drinks and appetizers, but main course ordered a Smashburger and a seafood salad. It took over an hour to receive. I was no longer hungry when I received my burger as for it to go box the manager did deduct the meals off my check too little too late.

    Do yourself a favor and order the Crabby Fries! Even though it is an appetizer it is plenty for a meal and is AMAZING!

    It took over 15 minutes for the waiter to come to our table. After that things picked up a bit.

    The food was excellent, service was great pretty good. However, how can a restaurant NOT have regular coffee available? We’re a group of ladies who end our celebratory (birthday) meals with coffee, espresso better, along with Bailey’s and Franjelico. Really? None of that, especially coffee, available. Disappointed.
