    One of the BEST MEALS we’ve had in Charleston! From the drinks to Eastern Oysters, Caesar salad, grouper, crispy flounder to the BEST pecan pie with ice cream and decaf coffee.

    Halibut was delicious with an exquisite sauce. Shrimp appetizer was good but a little heavy on the breadcrumbs; we should have gone with the Crab Louie. Service was excellence and the ambience was very nice, decorated for the holidays.
