    Food and service was great! The dishes were fresh and extremely tasteful. Would recommend the gumbo and feta as appetizers and the crème brûlée for dessert! Gulf shrimp was exquisite! For two people having 3 courses and drinks, was about $200. Will be coming back!!

    A beautiful restaurant with a great staff. But, I was so disappointed with the food. The olive bread was meh. Baked feta was delicious. The shrimp in the seafood tower was near impossible to peel. The gumbo literally had one tiny shrimp in it and it was VERY salty. 400 dollars for three people and the only food I really enjoyed was the baked feta.

    Started with a complimentary glass of sparkling rose’ from the waitress Pam for our anniversary. She and the team were outstanding and very accommodating. Great experience!

    We enjoyed our dinner. The menu is quite limited. My Grit Cake was a good vegetarian option. My partner’s Black Drum (fish) was good but the portion was small. Dessert menu had the standards— nothing to entice interest. Very pleasant servers. No rush but not slow either. The oysters were fresh and varied. The gumbo had a peppery bite but not overpoweringly so. A relative oasis in a city and hotel district that parties and enjoys noise and crowds.

    We love coming here! We've been here in spring where we could sit outside and in winter where we sat inside and our experiences have been consistently wonderful. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. We highly recommend the salmon! This restaurant is great for a relaxing evening out.
