“I found Gulley's searching online for smoked mullet, and I am soooo happy I did. They make the best smoked mullet, as well as the best grouper dip. The staff are very kind, helpful, and the prices are fantastic. I live over an hour away, but coming here is so worth the drive. I am very pleased, and I will definitely be back for more.“

“We came in for the first time not knowing what to expect in terms of quality. However as soon as we entered we were welcomed by reception staff and we loved the design and atmosphere of this location. Our waitress, Nikki, was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable about the companies roots, and could easily identify how individual dishes were prepared and where the ingredients and/or recipes were from. She was extremely friendly, accommodating and attentive - with a great sense of humor to boot. The food was also excellent and very satisfying. The Lobster roll was amazing, as well as the crab cakes! We will certainly be returning sooner than later. Thank you for such a great experience Nikki!“

“My wife and I visited Oyster River Rooftop for Valentine’s Day, and overall we had a very pleasant experience. The restaurant is located at the Marriott Hotel & Spa in Palmetto, which really impressed me. The hotel itself is beautiful — easily one of the nicest properties in the area. I also appreciated the added touch of checking in with staff before heading upstairs, since a badge is required to access the upper floors. It definitely gives the space a more exclusive feel.

The restaurant is small and modern — more of an upscale rooftop bar atmosphere that also serves dinner. We were seated outside and enjoyed a wonderful view of the river, which made for a great Valentine’s setting. There was a duet playing live music, which added energy to the evening, though in a smaller space with minimal sound-absorbing decor it felt a little loud at times.

The hostess was very nice and welcoming. I had to smile when she gave “Monsieur” her best shot — I work for a French-based company and speak a little French myself, so I notice those things — but I appreciated the effort to create an upscale ambiance.

Our server was congenial and accommodating. He happily made me a Sangria even though it wasn’t on the drink menu, which I appreciated. His personality leaned more casual than what the restaurant seems to be aiming for, but his friendliness was genuine and well-intentioned.

For food, we started with the Grilled Octopus. It was very tender, though I would have loved a bit more bold flavor. The main courses, however, were outstanding. I had the 16 oz Ribeye with Za’atar butter — cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. My wife ordered the Chilean Sea Bass, which was equally excellent. We skipped dessert as nothing quite jumped out at us, but we left very satisfied with the meal.

All in all, it was a lovely evening with excellent food and a beautiful setting. With a little refinement in front-of-house polish to match the quality coming out of the kitchen, this place could truly hit the high notes. We would absolutely return — especially for the ribeye and the view.“

“First time there great atmosphere great service thanks to Kayleen great smile and can give you great advise on menu keep smiling??“

“Excellent service. Delicious food. The best chinese buffet out of all of the buffets (I’ve tried 4). The owner was extremely polite. The waitress was exceptionally nice. This is a top establishment. The hibachi grill in the back makes delicious steak, salmon… it’s an incredible place“
