Our group will pick a restaurant monthly to get together. We always schedule because normally we will have a group of 15 to 25 people. The food was very good. Our server was great and attentive to our needs. Atmosphere was good. Would recommend.

My husband and I had the pleasure of Alexis being our server. She was very nice and did an exceptional job taking care of us! Her service was excellent!!! The food was great, from the calamari/crab stuffed mushrooms to the shrimp and grits and crab buckets! We will definitely be visiting again!

Our server was Jasmine, she was extremely attentive to our needs, knowledgeable, and provided some great recommendations. I went with the salmon and red rice while my wife went with the crab bucket. The service and food made for a great night. Will definitely be back to try some of the other recommendations Jasmine provided.
