book a tableAmazing dinner. Had the 220z rib eye cooked to perfection. The flavor from his Spanish charcoal grill he had sent here is fantastic. My wife had the shrimp and Grits. One of the best she has ever had. Five stars for sure!!!!.
Food is excellent, Fish was perfect… we enjoyed everything we ate….and do not skip dessert. Omg. Friendly staff and great service. Would definitely come back when I'm traveling again. My friends said the German chocolate cake was a religious experience. Oatmeal cream pie is to die for.
Hands down one of the best seafood experiences I've had! The crab cakes were packed and was seasoned just right. The atmosphere was great and fantastic service. I'll definitely be back!
Absolutely crushed it! Had a lot of seafood in my life, and this was outstanding. The chef made a special plate of shrimp and grits with a fried soft-shell crab on top. Everyone in our party loved their meal. The chef came out twice to check on us. Great experience!
Awesome dinner experience. Fresh seafood options and great service. We had the steamed shrimp, lobster, squash medley, and hush puppies. Everything was cooked to perfection and the hush puppies were some of the best I've ever had. Definitely a great spot for a casual meal.
