- TSTheresa Santiago-Morgan3 days ago1.0The staff is super friendly but the shrimp is disgustingly dirty and absolutely a pass. So disappointing. I couldn’t believe it. Ordered peel and eat shrimp. First batch was sooooo rubbery it wouldn’t even pull apart. Just straight rubber. I call and they remade it. Great. Thank you. But the second batch was WORSE. Look at the pics I’ve posted. Disgustingly DIRTY. Threw the whole thing away. Don’t eat here. Anywhere else on the riverside is better. Hard pass.
- NWnicole williams5 days ago3.0Visited on a Tuesday evening in January. Very slow. Seated right away. Waiter was very friendly and attentive. Ordered Shrimp and Crab legs. Shrimp was like rubber. So disappointed, especially given the name. Crab legs seemed to have been boiled twice. Peach cobbler was good.
- CAClaudia AparicioJan 5, 20265.0Great service and great good. I feel so bad for waiting a couple days later to write this review with my memory, but I believe our server's name was Michelle. We loved her shrimp earrings she made herself. The food was AMAZING and she was just as amazing, too! We look forward to eating here again, the next time we make a trip out to Savannah.
- RSRichard SpearsJan 3, 20264.0The portion on the special ( scallop, obster shrimp risotto) was disheartening for the price, 4 pieces of asparagus and a maybe a cup of risotto with a 1/2 cup of the seafood on it). If you could put a bit more risotto on it to fill it out, that would be great! The regular menu items had great portions. Everything tasted amazing, a bit pricey but worth it for the pine bark stew (surpassed expectations) and shrimp topped garden salad (huge proportion). Staff was kind, courteous, and efficient. I would definitely return. This was another last minute, end of the night, only thing open decision but well worth it!
- SSSuzi SpiczkaDec 28, 20255.0I had reserved a table from open table this is a great tool, but we had 5 people instead of 4... I was not recieved very well.... But then Michelle was our server. Damn, she knows her stuff!! Absolutely the best server we had all week! Great suggestions and on point. ❤️❤️❤️👀👀✨️ The food, hot and so delicious!
