    We are regular customers, and we have noticed the numbers of patrons has been falling. However, with menu changes, things are returning to past enthusiasm for the restaurant. Give it a try again.

    The food is really unique and always delicious. My wife had seafood newburg and I had shrimp and grits. Our daughter had the children’s fried shrimp and fries. We split an order of chargrilled oysters. Everything was very good, and the server was very attentive.
