Very happy with the customer service. Overall the food is pretty good. My friend ordered a clam…read morechowder and when hers arrived she offered to let me try it. I liked it so I ordered one for myself. Unfortunately, mine wasn't as good as hers. Hers was thick but mine was watery. I wonder if they were running low and tried to stretch it out with some water maybe? I ordered the seafood platter which comes with cod, oysters, shrimp, scallops and deviled crabs. All fried. You have a choice between french fries or baked potato. And you get a small container of slaw and a very small container of tartar sauce but they will bring you more. Plus two hush puppies. I was pleased with all of it. The deviled crab was heavy on the stuffing and light on the crab but it still tasted good and not dry. This restaurant has been considered a local favorite for many many years. I do recommend trying them out.

Closed permanently as of May 3, 2025. Newspaper and TV accounts confirmed it. Very abrupt closure…read more I never understood the appeal of this place. Almost all of food was fried and heart attack city, and the service really declined because (according to the owner's interview on TV news stations) it was challenging to adequately staff the restaurant. But weeks after it closed, literally half the population of this sad little town have come completely unglued over the closure. Go figure.

This is definitely a date night/special occasion place . It's pricy but good…read more I had the wings and a harvest salad. The salad was delicious, but the wings require some explanation. Rather than traditional wings, the main part of the wing has been deboned and the skin is filled with a chicken and ham mousse. It's good but different. The staff was very friendly, and there is a beautiful garden area out back that is well-kept secret. Another secret is the very reasonable price on their delicious desserts.

If I can give them 6/5 stars, I would. We didn't have reservations. It was prom night, there were…read moreat least 3 conventions or competitions in town, and they made sure we still got seated/gave us options and a game plan to get us fed. We were seated within 15 mins of arrival. Everyone was so kind. Our table shared the shrimp cocktail, and I had the 2 filet medallions with green beans and cheesy grits. The food was delicious. I found the shrimp super flavorful. They are prepared by weight, not numbers, so the shrimp count is between 5-7. The cocktail sauce was tasty. I ordered my steak medium rare. It was just over that, but still so tasty, juicy, and tender. The grits were a stand out! They were so good that our table got an extra side to share. Our server, Addison was such a personality and knowledgeable about the menu. Her service convinced me that I could trust her with basically anything. We sat outside, so we never got further than the threshold so I can't say I know too much about the vibe inside. However, there was great people watching, GREAT food, and great company. All around, probably the best place we ate all weekend. Thank you Addison for making our dinner great!
