    We came to celebrate my husbands birthday and our server was phenomenal. We ordered a couple of apps; crab and artichoke dip, hushpuppies, and calamari. The crab dip was a tad mild in flavor, the calamari had a great flavor to it but needed salt, the hushpuppies were good. My husband ordered a platter that came with scallops, shrimp, mashed potatoes, and a crabcake. He said the potatoes were really good but the crabcake was mainly filler. This was disappointing as that meal was pricey. Overall the food lacked seasoning. A little attention to salt and pepper would make a big difference.

    We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday/Christmas here. It was a first visit for us all. The food was exemplary, the ambiance was perfect, and the attention to details were superior. We had custom menus with Happy 50th Birthday Todd printed at the top, and dessert came out with Happy Birthday written beautifully in chocolate with a candle. I wish I could remember our server's name, but she was wonderful and patient with our party. My one critique is the garnishes were more for looks than eating, while the meat/main entree was great, but that could just be personal taste. Overall a wonderful experience and my husband had a perfect birthday.
