    Our group of 6 (women ages 42-78 years old) really enjoyed our first experience here. We were seated quickly, which included accommodations for a wheel chair. The food was fresh and delicious. Everything was seasoned perfectly. We were happy the music wasn’t loud… we could hear it, but could hear each other clearly with a normal speaking tone. We will return!!

    it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The food was absolutely phenomenal—each steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavor. The sides and desserts were just as impressive, with careful attention to detail in every dish. What really set the evening apart, though, was the outstanding service we received from Dexter. From the moment we sat down, he made sure we felt welcome and well cared for. He was attentive without being intrusive, had excellent recommendations, and made the whole dining experience seamless and enjoyable. I can’t wait to return!

    Overall a great experience. The server was amazing. The bread is to die for. The oysters were delicious. The peel /eat shrimp appetizer was great. The octopus appetizer was great. We also had the she crab soup, the mushroom side, the hushpuppy side. The entrees were the scallops dish and the flounder dish. Overall great. The wait time between dishes seemed very long. Not a place to go if you are on a tight schedule for event after dinner. Suggestion may be to order everything early on and let them glow it. Definitely will be back for oysters and appetizers.

    The food was awesome but the servers were a bit over zealous on removing plates and drinks without asking if we were done.

    I had a really pleasant experience. I went in to eat for one even though I put one person on the OpenTable reservation. It showed two on their computer so they were unsure. But overall, it looks really great. There was one guy that wasn’t a server but was making sure my drinks were filled, and I had what I needed, which was really great to see the partnership between him and the waiters
