    Great food and service, but extremely loud, and $60 for 3 small glasses of wine with the tip is a bit steep.

    The meal was superb. I had the catch of the day, a local fish. I would definitely order it again. They do need to work on their banana split.

    Good food. Decent wine and drinks list. Portions were large, Spouse had the fried seafood and I had the jambalaya- spicy but not overbearing. Server was attentive without being overbearing. Evening Manager stopped by to check on us- nice touch!

    Great location and ambience. My husband loved his fish tacos and crab dip. The hush puppies and honey butter were delicious as were the grits. The fries shrimp were a tad overdone, but still good. I’d definitely eat here again.

    Very disappointed. Had to ask our server for bread. My wife’s meal didn’t have the sauce she ordered and instead of our server going to the kitchen to grab it immediately she serviced other tables while my wife was waiting. Portion sizes for the fish were small compared to the prices.

    The food and service was a little above average, but our main dishes came way too fast and one of the side orders was incorrect. We mentioned this to the staff when leaving.

    The wait staff was nice and I loved the atmosphere. My scallops were delicious and my husband had the grilled Tile fish . Both dishes were great!
