Food was amazing..staff was friendly. The Bar was out of several things (7up/Sprite, not a lot of whiskeys to choose from). Place was clean but it was absolutely freezing
All of the food I've had was good and fresh. The service is fast and friendly too. I like taking advantage of the daily specials getting a nice meal on a budget.
Well, this is the first place that I’ve eaten at that ran out of beer. Like every one, ever made…….. ever. No, seriously they ran out of beer.The food was lackluster, burnt, and over seasoned.I can look past the service because every place is short staffed. But if the food would have met just one rung past trying I would have forgave the whole experience, but I can’t.This place has possibilities, it does, but it’s got to be managed better. Especially, for the cost that they ask.

The food was delicious. Scallop appetizer was delicious. The spices on the scallops were very tasty and the corn relish with it added a great texture. The crab cake was the best crab cake I have ever had. I can't describe it. The sauce on it, the wonderful texture, not dry just perfectly moist, and the crispness of the outer layer was so good. My husband's fish tacos were good, he like the flour shells, the tilapia was crisp with a nice spritz of sauce. However, they needed some sort of mango, pineapple or tomato salsa. The food made our meal. I give the restaurant three stars only because of three things. It took over an hour to get our meal. In fact, two sets of couple came in and left after waiting because service was slow. The servers were kind and professional, though. The ambiance wasn't good. The fluorescent lighting is bad. This is a historic setting. The setting needed warm lighting. The floors needs some kind of warmth. I realize it's a restaurant, but add some carpeting or rugs. Try adding some under the bar lighting, or even mini tabletop lights, or lamps on the bar. The tables and seating need something. It just felt like we were going on to wait for take away, not for a moderately priced dinner. Get rid of that big light over the service area! Also, that night something burned in the kitchen and smoke filled the restaurant. Lastly, don't charge $8.00 for hush puppies that were no bigger than a quarter for six. Again, the food was delicious. You just need to work on the service time and ambiance and you would fill the place up.

Awesome little seafood restaurant hidden in downtown Marion at the historical Harding Hotel! We go early afternoon and have had no wait to get a table. Food is delicious, unique to our area, and the chef plates beautifully which elevates it from your usual seafood restaurant. Definitely a return trip will be in order!

Loved the experience! This was my first time going and I went by myself. I had the crabcake as a appetizer, the clam chowder and the creamy mozzarella scallop pasta. My favorite was the pasta. The scallops were to die for I could just have a plate full of them. I wasn't a big fan of the clam chowder although it was my first time ever trying clam chowder so maybe it's not my kind of soup? I liked the crabcake. It was also my first time trying a crabcake. Overall I give it a 10/10. Next time I come here I plan on bringing the family so they can experience it as I did!

My wife and son took me there for the first time for my birthday. The food was delicious, a little pricey but great. We were the only ones in the restaurant for most of our time there and the 4 waitresses did their absolute best to completely ignore us. From setting up an empty fish tank, to carrying around a baby. Very unprofessional and we will not be returning just for that reason.
Just because they call it perch on the menu, and the wait staff says “yes, it’s lake perch” does not make red fish lake perch. The breading was so thick you couldn’t eat it. The “perch” was okay, but was not “lake perch”.

Absolutely best food ever! Chef himself personally came out and asked how our steak and shrimp was! Superb! I drank beer so so sorry someone put in a petty review about the sweet tea! Best food ever and the lobby of the Harding Hotel is amazing to see how well kept all the original woodwork has been kept so beautiful! Piano in the lobby, I started playing Whiter Shade Of Pale and drew my own audience! You got 5 stars from me! My family and I will be back for sure! Amazing!

Strike one... NO coffee! Strike two...only sweet tea. Strike three... I ordered sea scallops in cream sauce and pasta... Scallops were raw, pasta was a pasty glob, and served with plain white bread, no butter, nothing! I couldn't believe that one! Our waitress was very sweet, did a great job.

Just OK. Steak was seasoned with too much salt and was very think cut. Crab cake was OK, just a bit small for price. Wait staff was friendly.
