   We had a great time this evening! William L. was our server and he was fantastic! Wonderful suggestions, prompt service and just an overall friendly guy! The food was great! Don’t skip the mozzarella shrimp, it sounds like a weird combination but I promise it works! The peel and eat shrimp were some of the best we’ve ever had as well. Matt at the bar was also serving up some great drinks! Cannot wait to come back next time we are in town!

   We had a reservation, and most of our party arrived on time. The rest came a few minutes after we had arrived. We had a reservation for 6:15 for outside seating. By 7 pm, we were still waiting to be seated. The hostess apologized, and said that the table we were waiting for, was still occupied by another party. She said that they had been seated there for the past 3 hours, but that she expected them to pay their check and leave any moment. Then, a short time later, she told us that the party still at the table we were to be seated, had just decided to order dessert! So, she apologized again, and offered us another table indoors. We reluctantly accepted the indoors table. The waiter came and we ordered our food. The waiter was very soft spoken, so it was difficult to hear him, but we managed. He was a good waiter, just too soft spoken. Our food arrived, and everyone was pleased with their orders. I understand it was a busy day at the restaurant, and only so many larger tables available for outdoor seating, but I feel that it's not fair to have people with reservations, made to wait almost an hour for a table. For that other party to occupy a table for over 3 hours, while others with reservations have to wait for an hour or more, seems to be an issue that management needs to address.

   There were seven of us for early dinner. I had the quiche, I love quiche, but did not care for this at all. My husband had the meatloaf sandwich, unfortunately, he did not finish it because he did not like it. Three of our grandchildren were present, two liked their food. We have eaten there many times and always enjoyed our meal. Otherwise, the service was very good.

   Great service and good ambiance outside! Perfect weather and their lemon drop martini is a great combo!! I definitely thought they would have more food options but I got the Tuna over crispy rice, it was good, similar to sushi but small. I don’t think the prices are worth the quality of food but the atmosphere was good.

   We had a wonderful meal last night, except for the fact that we were sat right next to the bussing station. All we heard during of our meal was the crashing if dishes being dropped off. if we are ever sat next to the station again, it will be the last time we visit.

   This restaurant has the best selection of seafood dishes. Everything is always fresh and delicious. Our server, Renee, is terrific. She checks on you often to be sure we have everything we want. Great place. Our table was on the covered patio with a great view of the water.

   The prime rib was exceptional and my husband had the shrimp and grits and said it was outstanding. Always one of our favorite restaurants. Highly recommend this restaurant as the kitchen and staff are consistent in their performance. It was our anniversary today, and we had a perfect dining experience!

    We had a reservation and arrived 10 minutes early but were able to be seated right away. We had a terrific server who not only had wonderful suggestions but was also very personable. The food and environment were great.
