"Our first visit was a mixed experience, but we leaned into the positives to give this rating: -Hostess seemed a bit overwhelmed during rush hour, during down season. She was kind and accommodating but hopefully she can get some help with the onslaught of retirees trying to get tables. -Wine list is short but affordable and great options for the value (Many California wines but a few others and we found one from NZ we like) -The shrimp appetizer was great! They were out of the seafood/she crab soup which was a bummer. -They only made “9” servings of meatloaf for the day so that wasn’t an option, our second option was also sold out by 7:30 -The mahi mahi main plate came out room temperature. Great flavors, but muted due to it being essentially cold. I should have said something. -Our waiter forgot to give us silverware, so we had to flag down the busy host while our appetizer sat. -Salmon main plate with risotto was very good, but WAY too much butter. It was floating in it. The table next to us had the same dish after us and it looked completely different with much less risotto, but the women said hers had too much butter (we didn’t bait this comment either). -The coconut cake was awesome - very moist. Huge serving but we somehow managed to eat it all. -Our waiter was friendly and polite, the service overall was solid. We’ll likely return since we’re in the area often but I wouldn’t let the cold main course slide again, especially since so many alternatives are popping up in the area."

"Food is good, not great. Service was wonderful, our server Lily was friendly and cheerful. The biggest issue was the hostess had the personality of a brick, and really gave off the vibe she was pissed off at the world. When that is you first experience at a restaurant, you just pray things go up from there."

"This is a home town restaurant that has many unique dishes. The salads are huge (even at lunch). The burger and fries were great too. They have many interesting sandwiches and salads at lunch. They are well known for the shrimp and grits but that may only be in the evening, since it wasn't on the lunch menu the day we were there."

"The service was excellent and the food overall was petty good. The shrimp and grits were probably the best I've ever had. The crispy fried flounder was good, however there was too much of the corn and black bean relish. The relish overpowered the flounder. The wild mushroom flatbread was also very good. The sams pasta was ok just a little lacking in flavor."

"Delicious food and wonderful service! Our waitress was very attentive and helpful. The fried flounder was huge, fried perfectly and the rice mix was super tasty! Lots of flavor. The mahi special was excellent - the sauce is so good even on its own. The cheesecake was also great - some of the best I’ve ever had!"
