    Everything was fantastic. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. My only negative was I felt that the value was not there. I think the prices are a bit high for the size of the portions.

    The food is amazing!! Every dish we had was so good. My husband had their anniversary dinner and I had the soft shelled crab. I was so excited for the crab, they didn’t disappoint! We both really enjoyed the bisque. Their portions are perfect. The restaurant is not too crowded so you have space between the tables for a private conversation. All the staff are so sweet and friendly. We don’t get to go often but they always remember us. I would highly recommend them!

    Food was outstanding, but service at times felt inattentive and haphazard. Took a long time for both drink and food orders to be taken, and had few opportunities to reorder drinks throughout the meal. The check was dropped even before our dessert orders arrived, making it feel as if we were being rushed out of the restaurant. Finally, when we finished dessert and went to pay, we discovered our cards had been charged for a completely different table’s order. That’s a pretty significant mistake to make, and one that served, along with the lack of attention all night, to reinforce the idea that we were an afterthought.
