We had the most amazing dinner here. My husband had the pork chop with brussel sprouts and adored the sauce. I had the salmon with the beans and loved how perfectly cooked and flavorful everything was. We also had cocktails that we loved and to top it off the performer was amazing. It was a lovely evening and the next time we are in Savannah we will definitely be back.

While Lobster Fest is usually good, the absolute best part of our recent visit was our top-notch waitress, Kindra. Not only was she professional and efficient, but she was so genuine and incredibly pleasant. She was attentive and helpful, making suggestions and just taking great care of us.
