    The seafood platter my husband had was delicious and the shrimp and grits that I had was scrumptious!! And the key lime pie was as also very good! Our server, Sara, made sure we had everything - kept our water glasses filled, kept checking on us to make sure we didn’t need anything. She did a fantastic job!

    Dined here to celebrate a birthday. The cheese bread with shrimp and Rockefeller sauce was delicious and perfect to share for our larger group. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Shrimp and grits, Pelican sandwich, Shrimp Poboy, Friend shrimp meal with additional oysters and the Fresh Grouper prepared Italian Fra Diavolo. Huge lump crap and red chili flakes! Yum. Justin our server offered a complimentary dessert but we had a cake. He offered small plates and brought them promptly. Several staff members stopped by to say happy birthday. We were also well attended throughout our meal by Justin. Always a great experience here and we like to support small independent and locally owned businesses.
