   Memorial Day & I was alone enjoying the atmosphere. Sat at the bar and had a few beers and some oysters. Great food and terrific service. I will return without hesitation...

   Salad was made of old, pink wilting lettuce. Water used in iced tea tasted like it came from a river. My entree didn't taste great. A waste of money at $40 for all three.

   Parking is always a bit challenging, but park in the parking deck and it's a quick, but enjoyable walk to the restaurant. The oysters were very fresh, and delicious. They have a great oyster hot sauce. My wife got the fish and chip...wonderful...I got the seafood bake...comes in a pot and was very tasty...Beer was good, and the atmosphere is great.... Would look at changing the seating for two, a tad bit crowded, especially when dinner arrives.

    Service could have been better, though the food runners are pretty great. The crab cake was delicious! The clam chowder is a little thinner than I'm used to, but the house made oyster crackers and the rich flavor make up for it. The fries were cold though :-/

    Our waitress was fantastic. The good was really good Sbdc and out quickly. We were very impressed that they face each of our children a little plate with fresh fruit and corn bread along with the cornbread and biscuits for the table. According to my kids, they make the BEST Shirley Temples!

    Good food but unfortunately our table was shoved into an unappealing corner--and this was with a reservation. Put a damper on the whole experience. Waiter very attentive and nice. Oysters good.

    Really enjoyed our dinner on Christmas Eve. The service was good and the food was delicious. I had the shrimp with crab on top of grits and it was great, too much to finish, but overall very tasty. My son got the shellfish rigatoni and that was good too. Loved the seasonal beer too. We will come back.

    Excellent service. The hostess was amazing. We showed up 45 minutes prior to our scheduled reservations but she did everything possible and got us seated. We told her we understood if she couldn't seat us but she said she could make it work to make us happy. She was wonderful. Our waiter Matthew was also wonderful. Very friendly and even brought us extra bread since everything we seemed to order they were out of. The only down fall to our visit was they seemed to be out of everything we wanted. We would order something and he was like well we ran out, and then something else and he was like we ran out and then he up sold the drink saying add a 151 shot for $2 extra so we did but when he came back he said well were out of tubes so the bartender just added it on top. So other than the out of stock items the experience was great. We will definitely be back because my fiancé wants to try the bacon wrapped meatloaf (he was looking so forward to getting that and then they told us they were out).
