    Top notch as always - the Bluffton Room never disappoints. I do wish the regular menu had a little more variety (it's very steak-heavy), but I usually end up with one of the non-steak daily specials anyway. Last night was roasted duck, and it was outstanding. My wife's fish was also excellent. We topped it off with the bananas foster desert, which is always a special treat. Service was excellent, drinks were well made - like I said, the Bluffton Room never disappoints. We'll be back.

    We started with a NY Eve ball drop cocktail which was fun and tasty; Pickled shrimp for a shared app for the table- delish! Our entrees were all very good: - southern chicken salad sandwich, fired chicken cutlet on brioche, shrimp and grits and Mahi Mahi sandwich —all freshly prepped and served hot. We had an enjoyable time and will return. Glad we made a reservation! Thank you.
