Stories of grits kissed by the morning sun, of shrimp boiled in secrets whispered by generations past. Here, flavors mingle like old friends at a backyard barbecue, each dish a love letter to the land and sea that birthed it. From the sizzle of fried chicken to the soulful embrace of Brunswick stew, every bite carries the weight of history and the promise of tomorrow. So let’s raise a glass to the South, to its timeless traditions and ever-evolving tastes. Because in the end, it’s not just about the food—it’s about the journey, the people, and the stories shared around the table.

    The service was fine but the quality of the food was not great. The fried shrimp were so overcooked they and become chewy and tough. My partner had the special which was French onion soup and lamb chops. They had very good flavor only to find out they were left over from 2 nights previous for Valentines Day. This was one of the most expensive meals we had on the islands but was the poorest quality of all meals. There are better options.

    February 15,2025 We’ve always enjoyed The Reserve for its upscale ambiance, but Willet’s was a major letdown. It felt more like a cafeteria—uncomfortable seating, poor service, and a mediocre menu. The shrimp and grits were decent but had smoked sausage, I specifically requested not to have any, My husband’s burger was cooked perfectly. However, service was slow—we waited five minutes for acknowledgment, 15 minutes for drinks, and barely saw our server after our food arrived. The hostess checked in often, but the place was clearly understaffed, especially after 7:30 PM. The wine prices ($56+ per bottle) didn’t match the experience, and dessert was a joke—the peach pie was basically a Pop-Tart with ice cream. Overall, poor service, overpriced menu, and an underwhelming atmosphere. We won’t be back.

    Food was fantastic and the staff were amazing but we were seated in a back room that looks like it was a closet with a couple of tables pushed into it for extra seating. Not what I was looking forward to for a reserved dinner for valentines.

    Wonderful waitress and delicious food. The only disappointment was the Cesar Salad which was bland. I had the loin of pork and my wife had the local red fish, both were delicious.

    Our group of four had a nice meal on a quiet Sunday evening. Three of the group had the low country boil and one the local red fish. The fish dish was quite good. Service was friendly and efficient.

    Service and food are excellent. But it is very slow. It takes forever to be seated and served. They are understaffed but the staff there is excellent and overworked. We went there 2 mornings and both were the same. Took 1.5-2 hours for simple breakfasts (once 2 people & 3 people the second time) and we ordered our drinks and meals at the same time.
