    This restaurant has amazing food, a wonderful staff and an exquisite menu. However, because of it’s hard walls and it’s insistence on playing party. Music was a little hard to enjoy the amazing treats placed in front of us. Our server, Meredith was particularly attentive. Five stars for Meredith! Highly recommend! We’ll definitely return! PS the crab sundae is a must!!!

    I absolutely loved the shrimp and grits! It was obvious there was effort in the presentation and taste! It was my first time at this restaurant/cafe, and I will definitely be back! While I understand this is a relaxed environment, it was not easy to always know who the servers were because they dress as casually as the customers. If there is a way to ease the confusion, it would be great! If not, it’s still a great to be and enjoy a delicious meal!

    The food was absolutely delicious and service was attentive. Unfortunately we were right next to the kitchen which added to the background noise which was already a bit elevated. We were still able to have conversations without much trouble. I've been there several times and plan to return again.

    Music was loud in our original table, but they graciously let us choose a quieter spot. That’s very hard for people with hearing aids. The BEST cream of crab soup in my life. Extra crab was worth it!

    The food was excellent. We had the Short Rib, Tuna with sweet potato wonton and Wild Boar schnitzel We all tasted them all and it was very well prepared with great flavors. Try the WASP cocktail. Excellent spicy from the jalapeno. Waiter was attentive and engaging. Pricey but worth it.

    Food and service were great as usual. Music sound level was a bit too much this time.
