My favorite sandwich is the grilled Reuben sandwich with IPA on tap served with the optional fresh coleslaw. Burgers and hot dogs also get good reviews. Different local music groups come in and play in the corner and you can sit close or away and outside if the weather is good. Prices are reasonable and the tap beers and ales are filled to the top top. Views out the windows look over the Florence Marina and boat ramp where local fishermen bring their boats in and out and you can walk around the boats in the marina until dusk when the gates are locked.

This morning Jay served us wonderful cheesy grits with our omelette and amazing homemade jelly on toast. His coffee is excellent too. Open at 7:00 am this is the place to start our Florence day.

Decided to give this place a try as our favorite place in Florence had closed down. I was glad we…read moredid. We had the Clam Chowder and Jambalaya Pasta dish. Both were outstanding and way better than I expected. To be honest, the pasta dish was one of the best I have ever had and this is one dish that I am critical of because I have had really good Jambalaya pasta and some bad ones. This one was way way up there. The sausage was excellent and the chicken and shrimp were perfect, but the sauce made the dish. I can not wait to have it again. The whole staff was friendly and our waitress was excellent and very helpful. My only regret was not asking for a window seat when we got there. We had a reservation and there was a table by the window that was open, but we got seated by the entrance. A couple that walked in after us with no reservation got the table by the window which was odd. Again, not a deal breaker and I should have asked to sit there. I definitely would not hesitate to eat here again or recommend it to everyone. I am looking forward to the next visit.

The caprese was great alongside-- I was already full and still housed the house made focaccia and pesto, truly so incredible. for our main we split the cajun salmon with pico de gallo, mashed potatoes, and side caesar salad. delicious!!! I don't even really like caesar salad that much, and theirs is top notch. they split our plate for an extra $3 and it was plenty after appetizers. lastly, interiors: our table was perfect. they sat us right by the window on the water for sunset. I was only in florence for the night and can tell this is the best spot in town!

I went and got menus for our table while our server chowed down next to the bar. Small drink servings. Ordered the Korean ribs, which were tough, fatty, gristly, and ultimately inedible.

We sat there waiting to be acknowledged for ten minutes (we kept track) before getting up and leaving. Ended up at another place down the street instead. Multiple staff members walked by us, looked at us, and kept going instead of even acknowledging us. No menus, no water, nothing. We were starving and couldn't wait around for poor service to drag their feet so we left. The place was also filthy. It was sticky, dirty, and smelled like old cigarettes. I'm fairly certain someone started smoking while we were there because the smell got stronger out of nowhere. Bathrooms were dingy and graffitied. Bar full of what looked like regulars. The food I did see (some kind of soup, maybe?) looked greasy and clumpy. Avoid if you value your time and health!

Thin crust, not a lot of dough to fill up on. Pepperoni has good rich flavor. Not overloaded with a lot of sauce, which is nice. Large Caesar salad is a giant portion. Enough to share x2. The service-Friendly and attentive. The gal helping our table had rude customers at the other table in the room we were sitting in. She handled it like a champ and never let it ruin our service. The ambiance-Warm atmosphere, lower lighting. They have inside dining, bar seating (bar is beautiful) side room which is a good size and outside like dining with heaters.

The surprise dish was the (daily special) clam and mussels in garlic sauce appetizer. Even after all the delicious seafood was eaten we couldn't stop dipping the toasted bread in the awesome sauce!!
