It was our first time dining here. It’s a cute beach themed restaurant. The young girls working there were very friendly and seemed to be working great as a team. We skipped appetizers and each got a wedge salad to start. The homemade ranch dressing was delicious! I had the fish and chips and it was very tasty. The fries were way too salty for me but the grouper was yummy. Hubby had the chicken pasta dish and liked it ok. It didn’t blow him away but it was ok. We skipped dessert. Overall it was an ok place to visit. I may go back but it’s not going on the top 10 list!

The restaurant was packed, although the atmosphere was still serene. Christopher was our waiter and besides being very busy was very attentive to our needs as well as his other tables. Really enjoyed the food. The seafood tasted fresh and was cooked perfectly. Food prices were better than I expected. Will definitely dine their again.

Several of us got the 2 pounds of crab or the low country boil, the crab was not a good quality and was extremely hard to get out. It had that lingering frozen taste. The melted butter that they give you tasted like margarine and not authentic butter, so it was very off tasting. However, the shrimp and other things provided in the low country boil were very good. The service was fantastic and we really liked our waitress.

The food is good enough to overcome any deficits you might find.(which are not many) We go there pretty regularly. The Low Country Bowl is our go-to. Blackened Chicken pasta is a good non-seafood alternative i get there.
