    Always wonderful food perfectly prepared. We needed to change our reservation time due to a late arrival at HHH and they were able to do it for us! Miss Old Fort Pub? Head to Crane’s.

    12oz prime rib was huge and perfectly cooked. Shrimp and grits were very nicely seasoned and plenty of shrimp. Our waiter Charles was very response and checked back often to see if we needed anything.
