    Four of us had dinner last night. Four different entrees. Four great meals. Service was a little spotty but the dinner was a hit.

    We had a fantastic birthday dinner celebration for my wife. The complimentary champagne toast for my wife was a nice touch. Our Calamari appetizer was perfect. The Skillet Roasted Grouper, Blackened Carolina Red Fish and Low Country Lobster Shrimp Carbonara were all delicious.

    I had the she crab soup which was a little sweeter than I’ve had before but definitely delicious. I also had the crab and shrimp piccata which was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The ingredients were fresh and simple but blended very well together. My husband had the salmon which was equally excellent. Service was great as well. Can’t wait to come back.
