    Amazing as always. Atmosphere is over the top. Food (sea bass and husband had blackened shrimp) was delicious...as good or better than the fine restaurants in Charleston. Great cocktails and wine too.

    We were there the day after Christmas. Our family was together for the first time in far too long. We were celebrating not only the holidays, but also wrapping up a 30-year career as well as closing out a challenging health year. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. While the entrees were excellent {Pork Chop, Short Rib, Hangar Steak & Stuffed Trout}, the sides were spectacular! Chef stopped by our table and, when my husband raved about the succotash, mentioned that it took an hour and a half to create. We noted and appreciated the attention to every course!
