   Highly recommend. A bit off the tourist area but a pleasant alternative to the usual crowds. Food and service has always been exemplary.

   This is a quaint little cafe with a beach vibe. We had a delicious meal and the service was excellent. We will be going back.

   The food prepared by Chef Chris was delicious. We had the crab cake, Blackened New York Strip with Crawfish Etouffée, and White Rice, and a side of French fries. Our waiter Carson was great with suggestions, attentive, and very polite. We enjoyed it so much so that we are looking to host our next dinner party there. I highly recommend!

   This is a lovely restaurant. We came here for restaurant week and since it was January and further down the beach it wasn’t crowded at all on a Friday night. We sat inside but there are screened porches that would be nice in better weather. Our waiter was amazing and attentive. The cucumber martini was great. The mushroom bisque, shrimp and grits and cheesecake were all good.

   Must be fair to others but the shrimp and grits was mediocre. Grits were huge clumps. Far from real grits. Only three shrimp but they were good. I still thought that was a small portion of shrimp even though it was restaurant weeks. My husband had the carbonara and he said it was fair. I really hope they up their game because the view of spectacular the restaurant is very sweet for a Sunday brunch or even for an evening dinner
