    Waed (I hope I spelled her name right), was our server. She was absolutely amazing, sweet and very accommodating. She absolutely made our experience better as our biscuits had not been brought out, she worked with us to find a solution. The food was absolutely delicious as well. Would definitely go back!

    We always have a lovely time at Pearl Dive! We actually visited for the second time in a week because it id a wonderful place to bring guests/family for a special occasion. We made a reservation and we recieved a call to confirm the setup. The oysters and their variety are a highlight. We usually enjoy the mussels and we aren’t shy to order extra toast to soak up the goodness. This time, the catfish was a standout and appreciated the complimentary corn muffins and the kids meal for our 2 year old.

    This was our first time visiting RT's Restaurant. My wife surprised me as a Father's Day treat. We had reservations, and despite being ten minutes early, we were seated immediately. Our servers, Clarissa, was outstanding! She was very helpful and patient and answered our questions about items on the menu. I had the broiled oysters and the Shrmp and Crab Etouffe. My wife had the filet mignon. Our food tasted fabulous! My wife said the filet mignon was better than those at higher end steakhouses. We had the Key Lime pie for dessert, and it was quite tasty! We had an excellent experience at RT's, and we'll definitely return. Big yum!
