    Steamed Mussels
    Mia L.

    We made reservations for 4:45 pm and were seated upstairs with a view of the water. Our server Julia was so friendly, energetic and awesome! She recommended food for us and answered several of our questions. My husband ordered the grilled pork chop with Brussel sprouts and mac n cheese. I ordered the mussels and i requested the chorizo on the side. I'm not a big chorizo fan. I absolutely loved the steamed mussels with pita points. They were so delicious!!! My husband loved his pork chop and sides as well. I look forward to going back. We did not have room to eat dessert, maybe next time.

    I have to say that the highlight of the service was the "service". Adrian did a fantastic job of making us feel welcome. When I commented on this, he mentioned that the manager insists on being "hospitable" to the clientele. Huh. Hospitable in the hospitality industry, why don't others get this new technique? I ordered two dishes: the brussel sprouts and the unicorn fish. Both the dishes were superb explorations of flavor. I treated my father, my stepmother, and her sister to dinner. They all raved about the food. We sat out back on the water. The views were memory stimulants. My stepmother was fascinated with the ducks in the water nearby. It felt like the definition of relaxation.

    Persimmons has the most wonderful outdoor seating and beautiful views. I have been lucky enough to come here in the winter and sit outside multiple times. I really appreciate that. They will open up the back area in the off months on the warmer days. The staff here are friendly and the service is quick. This is the great spot for lunch and delicious southern food. The grilled cheese is a favorite of mine. It's nice to have such a delicious and substantial non-meat option on the menu. I tried the ho cakes on my last visit and would definitely recommend as well!!

    Excellent waterfront venue. Large bar, indoor & outdoor seating. We had the grilled grouper with butternut squash, steamed broccoli drizzled with cajun & pesto cream sauce. Exceptional paring & taste. A bottle of pinto grio made for a delicious meal. Bella, our beautiful brown eyed waitress was attentive, friendly & had a personality & smile all may appreciate. The apple cinnamon cheese cake was different, but delicious. Lots to appreciate here: great atmosphere, drink, food & services. I highly recommend you check it out. Mustang USMC Retired.

    Seafood Pasta

    This was the absolute BEST experience I think I have ever had at a restaurant. I was celebrating my birthday solo and I was not disappointed. Julia, was my waitress and she was phenomenal. Amazing recommendations. The atmosphere was clean, it was so nice to be on the water and it was a simple. The food was not only delicious, but HUGE portions. I had the Green Tomato app, with Pork Belly, pineapple and a whisky glaze. A Pickle Martini to start, then a recommendation of a dry Riesling and the Seafood Pasta. My goodness, the app was easily for 2-3 people. The pasta was big enough for 2 people. As a Birthday treat, they treated me with the Hazelnut Mouse , it was perfect because it was so light!

    Old Baise
    Mel C.

    Staff and service is excellent. Leah was an attentive, friendly bartender. Super sweet with great suggestions and just a lovely woman overall. Ordered the soronno mule and the old baise. Both were light and flavorful. For food ordered the Brussels. They were not cooked enough for my liking and the balsamic glaze made them sweet - but I am from NY so could be my issue. Hawaiian bread was scrumptious and the butter topped it off. We even saved what we could not finish and made a breakfast sandwich with it the next am. View was beautiful, but as I was sitting at the bar the view is covered by a decorated stained glass. I would recommend making that clear. Also make a rap around outside bar and open a side wall - small changes lol (view is too beautiful to cover). All and all great experience and Leah made it even better :-) we traded book suggestions. Would definitely go back. Thank you!
