“Nice beachfront place with mediocre food and solid service. Shrimp were fine, fish was mushy, and fried oysters were a soggy clump. Fries were ok, coleslaw slaw was fine but small portion, for $52. Lots of better places to go! Deviled eggs were very heavy with closing pimento cheese spread. Drinks are good, but $18 to $20. Skippable.“

“What a wonderful treat dining in The Lodge at Sea Island Oak Room was for my wife and I. We stopped in on a slow post-Thanksgiving weekday evening and were treated to a wonderful delicious dinner. Our server Cericka was excellent. We were seated quickly by the hostess and ordered two Prosecco's. We enjoyed a delicious mini biscuits with bacon butter appetizer. My wife ordered a wonderful 6oz filet with Boursin whipped potatoes, roasted autumn veggies, and scallion steak sauce. I ordered the blackened Redfish with crab fried rice, green gumbo, and pickled Okra. Both entrees were served hot and were delicious. Bon Appetit“
