Not to mention the food was GREAT!!”

“A random visit So I didn't have to make dinner. The pizzas were delicious, and the kids loved watching them being made through the glass window. The prices are just so high. The small pizza is literally the size of a personal pizza from the grocery store, and the large is practically what used to be a medium, but everything else was amazing. The two ladies working, we're smiling and greeted us and made a really great couple of pizzas”

“Simply perfection! The oyster selection is otherworldly. The chargrilled oysters the best Ive had in my life. (Florida born an culinary chef.) The peel & eat shrimp so plump and served ice cold I have craved them since I had them. The service was above and beyond. The atmosphere encouraged private chatter but also conversation with next table easily. Friendly and cheerful and above all excellent food served with smiles, suggestions, and ease. I will never visit Charleston again without making sure to dine here. (Do not eat the soup. I actually sent it back to the kitchen. Never have I had to do that. ) Highly recommend again and again for everything else.”
