   It was fresh and lovely! It was challenging hearing my table mate across from me - where we were seated indoors. But the food and ambiance was so wonderful! Def would visit again!

   My husband and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary and they were so accommodating. They greeted us with champagne and a happy anniversary card. The chef also brought us some calamari and tuna tartare to celebrate. The appetizers were fantastic. John our server was incredible and on top of everything. We split the snapper and Caesar salad. Both were delicious and so fresh. This was our first outing since I had my 3 month old son and they made everything so special. We will be back and recommend highly to anyone.

   Came for a dinner to end a girls trip to Charleston. The restaurant is beautiful and so is the location (right on the water). Our waiter was Dylan and he was great, didn't miss a beat and was very attentive. The drinks were on point - I had the espresso martini and the ecto. The food was delicious and beautifully served. I had the snapper and we all shared some apps. The brussel sprouts and calamari were amazing. Overall would come back and recommend!

   Weak drinks, very limited menu. Food was good but not great and extremely expensive for what you got.

   Mary, Thank you for your feedback. I am so sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your drinks, we do change our beverage menu seasonally. We also do half off bottles of wine on Sundays. I am sorry to hear that the food was just good, but not great! We do offer dishes based on local and freshest ingredients. We break down fresh lobster, and fresh fish every day for our lobster pasta dish and the blackened grouper. We do hope you will join us again so that we may get you that dining experience that you deserve. Thanks again for your feedback, Jacqueline Dornick, AGM

   Nice vibe and very friendly service. Menu was limited and portions were small for the price. The food itself was very good. But we left still hungry.

   Robert, Thank you so much for your feedback. I am so glad to hear that you love our vibe and our friendly service. We truly strive for that hospitality that leaves you with a lasting impression. I am so sorry that the menu seemed limited and that you felt hungry. I am glad to hear that you did love the food that you did get. I always like to add a few sides (the carrots and cauliflower are my favorite and served family style). I do hope that you will join us again soon so that we can get you that dining experience that you deserve, and you don't leave hungry. Thanks again for your feedback, Jacqueline Dornick, AGM

   Pretty view of you sit outside. Our server was great. The food was just ok but absolutely obnoxiously expensive and the menu was super limited. Kind of mad we drove to DI for this. Definitely one of those expensive just to be bougie places, not because it’s great quality.

   Ambience and location are a plus! The swordfish special was only special in a bad way. The swordfish could be picked up with a fork and placed back down with a need to push the fish of the fork! No flaking and very dry! The grouper was slightly better but not up to par with the prices being charged.
