The location is beautiful and the service and care are impeccable. The only thing that I did not like from this visit was that another table brought a non-service dog and the dog jumped on the booth and was sitting at the table, sniffing the table/linens/place setting. The server came over and the dog was put under the table, but that gave me, pun intended, pause. Otherwise, the Canadian cup oysters were fantastic as was the pecan pie. Both Thanksgiving options were great value and delicious.

Me and a dear friend dined at Rusty Scupper on Thanksgiving day for their annual Thanksgiving buffet. The Rusty Scupper does this in a top shelf fashion. This is not your typical low end or medium end restaurant style buffet. This is exceptional quality food, the attendants make sure that every tray is warm and filled and the table service is phenomenal. This is the second year that I have died there on Thanksgiving day and it is a cherished event. If you have not tried it, you need to.

We were there for our 30 year anniversary. The service was outstanding. Demetrius was very professional along with the rest of the staff. The chopped salad was very good and refreshing, the wagyu sliders were just OK yet distinct in flavor, the bison ribeye was also unique in flavor and again OK, the filet mignon was very good, the creamy gold potatoes felt as a good as out of a box. The whole experience, because of Demetrius and the staff along with the environment was positive.
