Great variety of seafood available here, and a multitude of preparations. Service is always friendly and professional, and the fish and shellfish are always fresh. This place just gets better all the time.

Every time I come home I want to come both here and Bright Star. The food is great as well as the service and the Sarris family has earned every dime they make! My favorite is seasonal, the bbq shrimp and grits and the whole flounder is amazing.
