   We had Blue Crab Fingers, Blackened Swordfish with mashed potatoes and blue crab and the fish special; whole Red Fish! From drinks to dinner our server Hunter did a great job and was a great conversationist!

   I made the reservation online and marked that we would be there to celebrate a couple of birthdays. The staff reached out to me a few days ahead of time to get more details, and when we arrived, they had put fresh flowers on the table, left a couple of birthday cards for the two people who were celebrating, and they also paid special attention to us and made sure we received a birthday treat. Hunter, our server, was great, and the food was wonderful! Highly recommend for any dinner, but especially if you are celebrating a special occasion!

   Hunter was an awesome waiter and he took excellent care of us. It was my wife’s birthday and they really helped make her feel special.

   My blackened fish of the day, Red Drum, was excellent. The pileau was also quite good. My wife's crab cakes had no crab, or at least none we could find. It certainly had less than that sprinkled over my pileau. The strawberry/rhubarb crumble was decent although I couldn't taste either fruit as such. A saving grace was that our waitress, Ruthie, was excellent. It's a drive down from Litchfield to get there; so we may or may not give it another try.
