My wife and I each ordered paninis, Reuben and shrimp respectively. There was so much vegetable mix in the sandwich it over powered the protein.But the soup was good.

My daughter and I toured the downtown historic district and stopped in for lunch. Absolutely delicious!! The panini crust is freshly made. I can’t say enough how delicious the food was. I would travel back just for a meal!! And if you sit on the patio you can enjoy the beautiful sunshine and ocean

Food was pretty good. We both got pizzas and they came out fast and hot. Mine could have used some extra garlic for more flavor but I still devoured the whole thing :) lemon raspberry sangria is dangerously good!

We stopped in for a lite dinner and were very impressed! The service and hostess were outstanding! We had a table on the deck looking at the water. My husband really liked the clams in butter appetizer. This is a restaurant in the historic district and an old historic old bank. It was lovely. The restrooms were clean and really everything was perfect for the evening. It has a very unusual bar that I think would be great to go to the evening and enjoy a cocktail in the future.

Panini tasted like a shoe sole: meat was dry, bread was under-toasted, and grilled onions were scarce. Nice location on waterfront and friendly service.

When you walk in and the hostess is mad, rude, and doesn’t smile…that should’ve been the sign to leave, but we stayed. We had pizza and it tasted like a frozen store bought pizza. Between the hostess, the below average food, and literally no wait staff smiling (at all), I wouldn’t recommend.

Cute place in downtown Beaufort. When we walked in, it smelled very good, like garlic bread. They also have outdoor seating overlooking the park and waterfront.We had the Focaccia bread appetizer and Antipasto appetizer, which were both decent, except for the tomato based sauce for the Focaccia clearly made from canned tomatoes and also very lacking in flavor.The pizzas came out very undercooked, meaning the dough was gummy around the sides, and the bottom was a very lightly toasted color and texture. The toppings were very lacking. We had to send them back to cook a longer, and waited a good 15+ minutes as their pizza oven holds probably about 6 pizzas at the most, and it's possible they cook the baked menu items in there as well. I mention this in the event you have limited time to fine in or take out.The Manicotti was a decent portion but was dry-ish.The shrimp and grits were okay as well. FYI, the grits are very firm, and more like Polenta, which is fitting for an Italian restaurant, but also extremelylacking in flavor.The service was okay-ish. We ordered a 2nd beer, but when the server arrived about 10+ minutes later with our pizzas, she noticed she forgot to bring it after she said she put the order in for it. If it had been crazy busy or if she had been "in the weeds," it would be understandable for a Saturday night, but as someone who has been in the business 30yrs, no. Still tiped 20%, but service could have been better.We didn't have the panini, but I saw several people having them, and they looked passable, but nothing special.In a nutshell, great location, live guitar player/singer, but if you're looking for really good Italian food, this isn't the place.

We stopped in around 7pm, place was almost empty and they were cleaning up, but they were happy to seat and serve us. Honestly, we were a little nervous because the lack of customers but our dinner was fantastic! We both started with salads, House and Mixed Green, fresh ingredients, lots of flavor and the small was more than enough. For mains we had the Baked Ziti that was really good, and TONS of food! The star of the show though was the Frogmore Penne, OMG! One of the most surprising and delicious entrees I have tried. The curry is so unexpected and the spice level perfect! I would go back just for that. Reasonable prices for the amount and quality of food.

Service was unwelcoming. My family felt like they did not like serving colored people. Went seated at the back and chair was damaged. We waited for 15 minutes before a waitress hurredly got our orders. Sprite tasted flat. Bread coming with the She Crab soup was cold and dry. Served tea without a saucer. Good thing the soup and pizza was fine. But this place really made us feel unwelcome. This was our first dining experience in Beaufort, and it really made an impact. Sad.

Ordered a dish with shrimp - was happy to hear it was local, but it had gone bad. It was mushy and smelled way off. I hate even leaving this review bc it’s important to support local spots, but it’s also important for local places to make sure their seafood is fresh.The bathrooms were also pretty gnarly. Overwhelming ammonia smell.

Ordered the Caesar salad with salmon. The salmon was raw. Then, they took the salmon off my plate and put it back on the grill and gave it back to me. Not coming back anytime soon.

A VERY busy Valentine evening but Dee Dee managed to get everyone seated. Food was up to par — I enjoyed my all-time-fav mixed green salad and Palermo pizza. Service kept pace as the trio of musicians provided enjoyable entertainment. Our server, Jade, was over the top with her attentiveness and friendly smile, checking on us regularly, assuring we had a great experience.
