    Excellent restaurant in the heart of town. Not a huge menu, but the food is delicious. Special was grouper. The other entree was scallops. Both were terrific. Service is great. Can be a bit loud. Not a big place. Reservations a must.

    We have been there twice during our week on vacation at Wrightsville Beach. I found it an outstanding choice. We hope to get back there again tonight.

    In spite of being obviously very busy Aaron was a superb server. We hope to get back again before we leave, and would like to request her, if possible.

    Absolutely fantastic! Best shrimp and grits I have ever had. Great place for brunch, and best of all free parking. You can’t beat it! Brittnee is the best at the bar too.

    My family and I were looking for a nice but casual dinner spot for a quick trip to Wrightsville Beach. After researching a few places, we reserved a table here and we were pleased with our choice.
