I went there today October 18th, for dinner and drinks. Ordered seafood jambalaya and it was horrible. To hot with pepper ?️ to even digest. Sent it back, then ordered one crab cake and it was totally tasteless. Even the apple martini was bad. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. And was told that I had to still pay for the crab cake that I didn’t even eat. What an awful place to go to for my birthday.

As an cultured, educated and experienced person, I was taken aback by the repeated references to no balloons and $25 cake fee for our large party of 10. Once you state the policy, and it is agreed upon, no need to continue to belabor the point. It comes across as bias and is unwelcoming. Other than that, our large party was treated well, we enjoyed the server, who was very kind and patient. The food is always good and hot.

40 minutes to bring 2 glasses of wine. An hour before we received appetizers. It was not an overly busy evening. The table next to us received drinks and their meals before our drinks came. We had to cancel the rest of our order in order to leave on time for an event. Disappointing experience.

We took out nephew and his wife here for dinner. Our server was great. The food delicious. And the ambiance was quite; easy to have conversations. Paid parking is nearby.

Disappointing experience. Slow service for a go desert and blamed it on new staff. The restaurant was extremely slow and the best rationale was yo blame a trainee that was clearly working hard with poor instruction.

Great meal for our first time at this restaurant. The service was awesome and atmosphere inviting and quiet. The food was very good, except the steak and fries. The steak was supposed to be medium rare and was medium and the fries were soggy by the time we got them. Everything else, seafood, drinks and dessert was delicious. We will visit again!

The hostess & our server were perfection.
The food was outstanding esp. the she crab bisque; the Blackened Salmon; Catfish w/grits; Bacon-Wrapped Scallops, etc.

We had fresh oysters that were very good and reasonably priced. The food was excellent. I’m glad we found this restaurant.

We found this restaurant on Open Table and decided to give it a try, so happy we did! We walked in to a warm and inviting welcome from Penny (I believe is her name)! We were seated upstairs in a quaint dining room and quickly greeted by our server David who walked us through the menu. The food was amazing starting with the peel & eat shrimp we had for an appetizer, to the steamed lobster dinner with drawn butter, and the salmon dinner that were both cooked to perfection! We'll definitely return!
