- JMJeff MorganNov 7, 20255.0Great dining experience, everything was great ! Our server Jeff was excellent. A definite must stop if you are in the area.
- PHPamela HopkinsNov 6, 20251.0What a disappointment! I ordered the broiled shrimp, scallops and catch of the day which was flounder. My food was not hot and it had no taste. The vegetables were limp and uninspired. I ate the four shrimp and four tiny scallops that were part of the meal. The rest was a waste. I would not return.
- NKNancy KaufmanNov 2, 20252.0I got a dozen oysters on the half shell. It looked like they were just tossed on a plate with salt. Half of them were not cut from the shell. No hot sauce was offered I had to ask. I then had scallops with green beans almondine and some kind of cake that had a thick white gravy on it that tasted pasty. The scallops were cooked good, but not a lot of flavor. I didn't care for the green beans. My husband got the prime rib. It looked promising! It was not prime, it wasn't even choice. Tough to cut, no flavor. It was cooked perfect (medium rare) but it was a terrible piece of meat.
- DNDanelle NutterOct 27, 20253.0Food was fresh and high quality but bland. The broiled fish needed a sauce. The she crab soup was delicious but maybe not enough reason to come back. Service was good.
