    We were greeted with very friendly staff. We were there to celebrate my birthday - and at least three of the different staff members came to my table to wish me a happy birthday. Was a nice touch. We got two of the dinner specials and a dozen premium oysters. Everything was perfect. Complimentary homemade chips and shrimp dip, espresso martinis, sea bass and ribeye specials that my friend and I split to make a surf and turf meal, and made enough room for the birthday crème brûlée. Would 200% be coming back. Thank you!!

    We were a party of 4 and all of us had the Chilean Sea Bass Special. It was fantastic, and we all had the same, consistent experience! Starters and desserts also were fantastic. Our Waitress Alana was great, the servers and table attendants were equally great, and all of the customer-facing staff were friendly and acknowledged us at every step all the way to our departure. Truly a very well-trained, conscientious, and coordinated team of pros!

    Excellent service by our waiter, Tyler! Food was fantastic .. from the appetizers (raw oysters & jumbo shrimp cocktail), main dishes (chilean sea bass & blackened grouper), to dessert (shared a brownie sundae). I thoroughly enjoyed the dirty martini with blue-cheese stuffed olives 🍸 as well. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Calabash, NC.
