Buckets are amazing loved the atmosphere
Went in for a combination Valentines Day dinner and birthday dinner (for me). The food was excellent, great service thanks to Natasha. She definitely gets a gold star in our book. I recommend the crab cakes. While we didn't have dessert this time out, the key lime pie always excellent. And I could eat their hushpuppies all day long.
Outstanding seafood platter
