    We enjoyed everything about this place, the food was good and our server was nice and attentive. I enjoyed the blackened Mahi sandwich ..it wasn't salty at all which matters to me. The atmosphere was casual but we could hear ourselves talk. Their hush puppies 10/10!!

    We had a wonderful lunch. We had the fried fish and shrimp. It was lightly breaded and not greasy. The food was great. Homemade tarter and cocktail sauce was very good as well. Some of the best ive ever had. Our server was very nice and prompt with everything. There was no wait time

    OMGeee. Kimberly the bartender was freaking amazing. Not only was she super knowledgeable, but so much fun we had a blast. I would come here every day if I lived in Savannah. BTW, the shrimp and crab soup is off the hook. Delicious.

    A great place to visit if you are in the mood for seafood. The fried green tomatoes were an awesome compliment to the seafood I had. I love the environment and decor inside as well. Combine all of that with the character and location of downtown Savannah make this place great. Thank you very much!

    Glad we stopped in, they were pretty busy on a Sunday night but still made space for our party of 7 (mostly kids) and treated us wonderfully. The hostess and waitress were very nice and accommodating. We all enjoyed our meal and would definitely eat here again when in the area. We stopped by another establishment earlier that evening that had visibly empty tables and when I told them our party was mostly children they told us it would be over an hour wait. The atmosphere is great here, lively, fun, and family friendly. Definitely a nice representation of River street. The building is old but beautiful. They’ve got a good menu and the kids tried everything no complaints!
