    We have been many times and loved it again last night where the waiter remembered us from a time we had been several months before this is our favorite place to eat at Myrtle beach well near it.

    One of our favorite places to eat, especially when we want a variety of choices on Oysters! Menu is good but the nightly specials are great and they have a variety selections to choose from. Tried the Sea Bass special and I can truly say that it was the best preparation of Sea Bass I have ever had! Our server (Dan?) was great and made sure we were satisfied. Explained the specials in detail and made suggestions of sides to accompany what we selected. Great job!

    Joe, our server, was wonderful. We met him at a previous outing and requested him. He is attentive without being overbearing, personable, and he knows the food and drink menus well enough to make educated suggestions. The food tonight was perfect. My wife and daughter ordered the surf and turf. Both raved about it. I had the elk. Simply put, it was the best restaurant meal I've ever had.

    Fantastic experience with a great waiter! The food was amazing as usual. We ordered a dozen premium oyster and it was a great decision. We like the variation and they were all delicious. Definitely try if you go. I ordered the trigger fish, blackened with a lemon sauce. Huge piece and cooked perfectly. My husband had the tuna sandwich, medium rare. Fantastic! We ordered one crome brûlée to share - delicious! It was our anniversary and they made it special - seating with a view, the waiter wished us happy anniversary, and they gave us our dessert in the house! Made it special from start to finish. Don’t miss trying this restaurant. You won’t regret it.

    My Wife had the Sea Bass which was cooked perfectly. Perhaps the hoisin sauce could be less to not overwhelm the wonderful flavor and texture of the sea bass. I had the special grouper topped with a crab cake. It was all a wonderful blend of flavors and textures. We definitely will return to this wonderful place.
