Outdoor seating, which was fine. While service was just ‘ok’, I felt we would had had better service inside. We ordered a cocktail as we were seated and our waiter never once asked if we wanted another, so we had our one drink through dinner. We had a wedge salad to start and we were never offered fresh cracked pepper, not even a pepper shaker on the table. Overall service was just okay, not bad, but okay.

Excellent food and service. Objected to the table the hostess assigned my reservation to, which was next to kitchen door. Super high traffic area. Requested different table, which several were open before I was seated; at least 2 optional tables remained open the entire duration of my meal (1-2PM) late lunch. Apparently you can specify tables with reservation and they will keep them open regardless of actually showing up.

Steak and drinks was great! Only thing is ceviche was too sweet and wasn’t tangy enough. I should only taste the lime. The added sugar put me off but still edible.

We ordered lunch from the popular Restaurant Week menu, held over for the year. It is $22 for appetizer/salad and main.. Add house wine with this for $6. Three of our party ordered the chicken piccata, which was moist with mushrooms, capers and wine sauce on angel hair pasta. Generous portions. Salmon was cooked perfectly, medium rare for me.. One of us always gets the gumbo. Says it is the best she has had. Another had the lobster tacos. Loved them. Peanut butter snicker pie is to die for. A great ending for a scrumptious luncheon.

Chicken & waffles were good. Cheese grits were amazing. Strawberry mimosa was refreshing. They forgot my grounds bacon & avacado on her burger. The waiter never offered to bring it & although we first commented we might want another mimosa because they were good, he never came back to ask. Mine was finished way before my meal ended.

This was definitely one of the best dining experiences we have had. David our waiter was delightful and on point. My mom went to the Campbell location and the Campbell location gave her direction to the memorial location. We shared this with the waiter and he was very gracious and understanding. He recommended the fried green tomatoes and lump crab appetizer. And oh my my!!! AMAZING!! When the rest of our party arrived we ordered the lobster tacos and they were simply divine! Can it get better? YES!!! All of our entrees were plentiful and absolutely tasty!! We can’t wait to return. We had the scallops, trout, seafood pasta and halibut all were worth every single calorie! I was gifted a Nutella cheesecake which made for a nice ending to the meal paired with a chocolate martini!! Highly recommend this restaurant. Everyone and everything is lovely!! Delectable💙

Had a great night for my wife's birthday. The staff were excellent and we felt they were genuinely friendly and not just working for the tip. The wait staff wait above and beyond by organising a dessert that wasn't on the menu. We both would highly recommend our mains (Rainbow trout and Halibut) to anyone looking for fish dishes and the waiter picked a great wine to accompany the mains. Excellent night overall and highly recommend Jonathon the Rub.
