    My wife and I had dinner with some friends we haven't seen in a while. The noise level was at a good so we could have a conversation without yelling. I had the grouper which was one of the specials and it was spectacular. The atmosphere was great and is a high end experience with a casual dress code. It is expensive but the food was delicious. The waiter was very nice and attentive without being over the top. I may have to save a few nickels to go back but will definitely go back.

    Had a great experience. Two of our party are celiac. The seafood was delicious. The waitress was not completely sure of all gluten free items on the menu, but did inquire with the chef. Overall a great experience!

    We had a great time and Hannah took very good care of us. Everyone there is wonderful. Ask Lizzy for your favorite mocktail and she will magically make it appear.

    Food is superior, I don’t mind the price for the quality. Service is fantastic, staff exceptionally pleasant and helpful. Only downside side in my opinion is the acoustics which make conversations difficult but not enough to prevent me from returning.

    Menu is smaller…but oh so good. For our main courses we had the Blue Gill Burger = spectacular and the Salmon = no words as to how perfectly cooked and paired with the risotto. Caesar salad fresh & chilled and the dressing was outstanding.

    It’s very noisy. Service was great. I didn’t like my meal (shrimp and grits) but everyone else thought theirs was excellent. The fresh vegetables were delicious.
