    Highly recommend Hen Quarter Prime. The service was excellent and the food was great. We tried the fried green tomatoes, oysters, deviled eggs and Caesar salad for starters. For entrees we had the steak, sea bass, and jerk bites. We really enjoyed the food. The restaurant is beautiful and the cocktails were also good. This restaurant is going into my regular rotation.

    Our server TK helped to make our experience amazing! The food was delicious. I’m allergic to shellfish, so the value wasn’t there. I recommend a non shellfish price.. However, I will return for dinner.

    I do not understand the ratings for this, the fod was okay at best but a lot of it was cold. I don’t think it was particularly good beef. The fried chicken was really good though. One of our cocktails took forever to come and tasted like watered down bourbon for $17. Hard for value to match the price unless you you really enjoy crab legs, as the server carving the beef was frequently some where else. If price was $40 I think it’d be okay, I would still not go back but could understand. At $70 it’s near robbery.
