    The best shrimp and grits that I’ve ever had! The service was excellent. We had a fantastic white chocolate bread pudding with berries for dessert.

    The restaurant is beautiful. Large inside, outside and bar. Ordered the oyster sampler. 3 Rockefeller and 3 Grilled Parmesan. D had the crab bisque. Very good both of these. Almost an hour later brought Ds shrimp scampi. He asked them to hold the spice and just use butter. NO. It was too spicy for him. He asked for a side of melted butter, she brought the same spicy sauce. I ordered the salmon prepared French Quarter, pecan crusted and switched out vegie medley for asparagus. Mashed pots were cold, got vegie medley. Salmon was dry but good. Waitress did bring asparagus even after I told her to forget it, she said I could take it home. I didn’t. I’m sure after talking to neighboring tables this is a very good restaurant and WE obviously ordered the wrong items.

    They were absolutely packed for Valentines day, so the evening started out kind of slow, understandably so. We had a moderate wait for seating & service, but once Tara got to our table, the service was outstanding! The food is always amazing there!

    Valentine's evening so extremely busy night and the staff still did an amazing job with probably the most demanding night of the year. I give them a lot of credit and gratitude.
