    We started our evening with Oysters Rockefeller and Oysters Chesapeake. Both were excellent but the crabmeat in the Oysters Chesapeake made them a new favorite. Ashley was our server and was of the most amazing we have ever had. She made the meal special. We then had Caesar salad. My wife had the special for the night, halibut with lobster ravioli and I had the broiled seafood. Both were outstanding. We always worried about fresh seafood being available in Gatlinburg but I am now a believer. If you get the chance, you should definitely go to this restaurant.

    Good Seafood! Same as last visit, but hiccup with dessert (Bread-Pudding Over-Baked, very dry} and appetizer (Crab-Dip, very runny)! Reported to waiter, with request to pass on to manager. We had a good waiter!
