    We enjoyed a lovely and delicious dinner. We were quite surprised to find a note on our table upon arrival congratulating us on our Anniversary, signed by all the staff. Our anniversary isn’t for 3 more days, but then we discovered the restaurant is owned by the same person who owns Georgia Sea Grill, where we had made reservations through Open Table for our anniversary dinner. Obviously someone matched my name on the reservations and saw my note about celebrating our anniversary. That was an extra special start to our experience. Our server, Jenni, provided excellent, attentive, and knowledgeable service, pointing out special recommendations and providing nice touches throughout. The menu is very creative and expansive. Everything we tasted was delicious: the Fall Pasta (a huge serving even to share between 2), the Sweet Potato Goat Cheese balls, and the Shrimp Skewers. We topped it all off by sharing a slice of the special dessert, Olive Oil cake! Everything was excellent and provided us a perfect start to our special weekend!

    This restaurant consistently has great food and service. Excellent selection of diverse menu items and price points. We shared a cup of blue crab bisque and caesar salad. Both were perfectly prepared with great flavors. Soup was rich and salad nicely dressed. We had the shrimp and grits (lots of sweet shrimp!) and the special grouper on bed of guinoa with mixture of butternut squash, zucchini mixed in. A light sauce on top of fish with red pepper pesto. Grouper pan-sautéd perfectly. Both entrées were good sized portions. Service is personable and timely. We would like to try other restaurants in the area, but always come back to Halyards.
