We had a wonderful experience at Hank’s last night. It was our first visit but will not be our last. Our server, Alexander, could not have been any more helpful and professional without being intrusive. We loved Alexander. I had She-crab soup as did my wife and it was superb. I had the shrimp and grits and my wife had scallops which we found to be excellent. When Alexander heard it was my wife’s birthday, he brought us a humongous piece of carrot cake to take home since we were too full to have dessert there. Thank you so much for a fantastic evening.

Hank's is a lovely restaurant. It's quite large and was fairly busy when we were there early on a Tuesday evening. The menu is heavily seafood, which should be expected as it is advertised as a "low-country" restaurant, but there were several dishes for those of us that aren't seafood eaters --- cod, tuna, salmon, etc. We tried both salads and both were good and pretty large. I had the tuna tartare "small plate" (without the jalapeno). It was quite small an the tuna was very fresh but didn't have a lot of taste. The pepper would probably have helped. One person in our party had the crabcakes and said they were very good. All three of the folks that ate the calamari said it was excellend --- one said it was the best she'd ever had. The mussels were said to be average althoug the broth it was in was good, but would have been better had it been served warmer. The restaurant was on the expensive side; but not any more than we expected. We all said that we'd go there again and try some of the other menu items.
