Babyyyy, if you're looking for a hidden gem, THIS IS IT! This was my first time in the area, and I…read moreonly came to try this place out. When I say I have no regrets, I mean just that! Well I must admit there is one regret...the regret that I didn't try them sooner! I've legit been missing out on bites of happiness! You walk in to a gorgeous sparking restaurant. It seems one side focuses on to go orders then there's a large sitting area for dine in. The restaurant is spotless, and so are the bathrooms! The older gentlemen that assisted our table was a complete seeetheart! Extremely personable and present...we definitely got the southern hospitality. The food! The food is spectacular! I didn't have to add anything additional to my food, which is surprising.The food is seasoned and cooked to perfection. We tried a little of everything. The hushpuppies were the best hushpuppies of my life! They're crispy on the outside yet melt in your mouth... it's not your typical cornbread hushpuppies; this stuff has FLAVOR! The fried shrimp was spectacular...I even ate the tail. The roasted sweet potatoes made me close my eyes and just hum. The jerk snapper- never had anything like it in my life, but I know I want some more! Also tried the fried snapper, oysters and and whiting- they didn't disappoint! You're not in the south if you don't have fried green tomatoes, right? We received complimentary fried green tomatoes...best I've ever had! They had sort of sauce on them that just took it to the next level. I also had to try the cake after I heard the owner's mom makes them personally. If you had the food, you understand why I had to try the dessert. I mean the chef had to get his skills from somewhere, right? Honeyyyyyy just like everything else, the taste of the cake corresponded with the rest of my experience! 10/10! Did I mention, the bathroom was also CLEAN! If you're in the area, try this place. If you're not in the area, try this place! I took the drive and boy I'm glad I did!

I've learned tonight that I DO NOT. It smelled so bad I could barely eat it. Eventually gave up. The hushpuppies were the best I've ever eaten!!!

First and foremost: Lauren was absolutely phenomenal. She was a fantastic problem-solver and was…read morespot-on with her attention & service. The problem was that there were many matters that Lauren had to try to mitigate that brought our experience from a four star to a three star: My stuffed salmon was the last of ten meals served & it was so overcooked that the salmon resembled jerky. They offered to make another for me to take to-go, but that did nothing for me in the moment (I still had to navigate a burned meal & we all know that type of meal does not reheat well). Noodles & sauce that came with the dish were very good. The "succotash" was unremarkable. Two plates of King crab legs (an EXTREMELY expensive meal) came with no melted butter - my friends had to ask twice for butter - crab got cold before butter was ever served. Waitress (not Lauren) said full serving costs $120. For some reason, 1/2 serving consisted of two legs, full serving consisted of three legs? We were told a claw would be included as well with the full serving, but then "reassured" that a full serving was indeed received without the claw. Chicken teriyaki was good. Mussels with pasta was good. Apparently. it is "safe" to consume the living red worms that squiggle on the oysters on the half shell, but in all our years in other restaurants with oysters, we've never seen worms moving on our plates. Is that because other restaurants clean off the oysters in a different manner? Is it because other restaurants serve on ice? I honestly don't know, but do know I can't eat wriggling worms. I sincerely appreciate Lauren's attempt to alleviate our concerns. Apparently, there was/is a shortage of glasses, because refills of beer and alcohol came in different sized glasses with each round. One beer refill came in a small brandy-type glass with no explanation. Again, a solution was offered well after the fact, but honestly should not have been necessary. This is not a fault of the waitstaff. The potatoes & slaw that are served with each meal were brought before our drinks were ever served - are they intended to be treated like appetizers? (Just a note: Active Duty military & Federal employees have been advised not to consume poppy seeds - it's ridiculous - but half of our table couldn't eat the slaw (which was unfortunate because the slaw was very good - one of my favorite recipes). Fried dishes were over cooked - extremely dark & tough. Do not forgot to ask what "Market price" is - it may be well over $100 per serving. By the way: their Carolina Colada is now my favorite drink! Delicious!! Look at the back of the menu for the day's drink special.

Complimentary biscuits were not fully cooked - still doughy. Waitstaff said they were "waiting for the biscuits to cook" - totally understandable, but wait 3 more minutes so you don't serve uncooked dough. This is a time management thing for the kitchen: 5:00 reservations = put biscuits in the oven no later than 4:40. Escargot was good. Disappointed that our dirty/empty appetizer plates stayed all over the table so long. This is the difference between "fine dining" & a typical restaurant. Utensils used for appetizers should be removed & replaced for main meal. Just another little detail that sets apart "price is worth it" & "why'd I pay that much?" Steak frites were good. Lamb was good. Desserts were good. Cacao nibs were entirely too hard - I thought I was eating pieces of nut shells. Not enjoyable. Waitress was very friendly, but we did get the feeling that we weren't regulars, so it was ok to not pay attention to us (like remove dirty dishes).

She did an excellent job explaining the menu and making suggestions. My husband got a tartare for his appetizer. I tried a bite and can confirm it was delicious! I got the Caesar salad. It was good but I don't think I'd order again--it was just a personal preference issue. I really loved the dressing and the sunflower seeds in it were superb! I got a filet as my main. I've tried Brussels sprouts multiple times and always think they tasted bad and the texture was weird--Tartare convinced me that Brussels sprouts can be delicious! I would eat them again but only from this place! I'm picky about sauces on steaks but again, it was spectacular. I struggled to eat it all but wanted to, I was afraid I'd make myself sick due to the generous portion. My husband was deciding between two meals and our server suggested the lamb. It was an excellent recommendation. He shared a bite with me and I loved it. I would recommend it! I enjoyed my dessert--bananas foster. It wasn't too sweet but had a good flavor. I like the texture on the bananas to be a bit more caramelized but I would get it again. My husband had the crepes Suzette, again at the suggestion of our server. He really enjoyed it. We would recommend going! It's a perfect place for a nice meal in a peaceful environment.

The salsa bar is fabulous too! Pickled veggies, salsas, pico. Then our food...we can't wait to try more on the menu. I totally understand why it has 5 stars!
