    The food was not good. The pork chop was over cooked and a bit tough. The catfish was not fresh. The escargot was not fresh.

    I ordered the filet mignon and it was delicious and cooked to perfection. My mom ordered shrimp platter but grilled instead of fried and she mentioned the flavor was amazing

    We had high hopes for this restaurant based on some reviews. Food was just okay though. I had the fried grouper sandwich. It wasn’t bad but put together sloppy and the house chips had no flavor. My husband had the blackened flounder that the server recommended and some of it has a strong fishy flavor. The goat cheese risotto was bland.

    Excellent food! Our waiter, Clint, was great... and entertaining. We sat away from the bar, so noise level was minimal. There was a lovely singer near the bar but would have been too loud for conversation if we sat there. Blackened flounder and Grouper Oscar were delicious. As was the bread pudding. We wanted the peach cobbler but just missed getting the last one - we heard it was excellent.

    There was a line when we got there but with reservations, we were seated almost immediately. They were out of somethings on the menu and our waitress told us after introducing herself. We started with Escargot, and a wedge salad, both very good. Filet, one of the steak specials, and lobster rolls were ordered and all were excellent. Steak was cooked to perfection and portions were plentiful. Our waitress was attentive so all in all, a nice experience for a first time visit.

    Exquisite southern classic dishes and service. Shrimp and grits flavorful and not heavy, she crab soup a must. Pecan pie was a burst of flavor too. Waiter and staff were attentive and friendly, very impressive. Best in Charlseton!
