    The food was delicious. Our server Melvin was an absolute pleasure & had the best personality. We sat on the patio and the view/atmosphere was perfect. Will be back every time we are in Beaufort.

    Very mixed results. Staff training issues all around- not the professionalism or energy you should expect at a place with this price point. Seated next to family with small children even though place was 80% empty. Tremendous fried shrimp. Some of the best we have had. Non-local small oysters. Very ordinary cold shrimp for cocktail. Excellent wedge salad. Interesting wine list with some unexpected choices. Soggy overly dressed beet salad. But the constant loud hum of industrial HVAC- whether a maintenance issue or just bad engineering. Hard to take. As we left, 4 servers were at door and didnt seem to notice that we wanted to get by.... Just a strange experience all around. If its some kind of lower end family seafood restaurant, then price it accordingly!

    The oysters were good, the beet salad I ordered as an entree was very small, did not contain the described glazed walnuts and was served in a dish that made it challenging to eat. The scallops were good but served on top of something that had the consistency of soggy bread (would have preferred black or gold rice, or even couscous). The service was good. The atmosphere was okay-quite a few flies indoors where we sat. Nice view. Would probably sit outside on a return visit, but unlikely to return
