It was karaoke night we when, so the vibe was fun. That said, because people were waiting to sing or enjoying others sing, they stayed too long at their tables making other people who had reservations wait for a table. Overall the food was pretty good. We enjoyed the gumbo, Gullah wings, fried oysters, smothered pork chop, and the stuffed flounder was delicious. Hands down the best thing on the menu. However, don’t get the seafood pasta! There was no cream in the cream sauce and no crab meat either, and the pasta is spaghetti noodles with Old Bay seasoning!Drew the food manager was very gracious when they ran out of items and had to replace them and when I complained about the lacking pasta. Oh the bread pudding is decent, but the chocolate cake tasted like chocolate flour as most bought chocolate cakes do. All in all the atmosphere was nice. It’s in a great location, and I would go back again.
