    The food choices were great, but the quality of the food was not. The oysters tasted very fishy as if they were old and the steak had no flavor.

    The service was very good... Our strip that was ordered medium rare was not cooked right (it was way overcooked)... they brought us another that was just right... seems to me that steaks cooked this badly should not happen in this type of restaurant... but they did make it right... Also the were no utensils to serve the family sides... we had to scoop the stuff onto our plates using our silverwear... we were a family of four so it was not a big deal... but it could be if you were with others... The food was good but not exceptional... the side dishes were not really large enough for a family size and were pretty standard fare...

    The service was excellent, but the food was very bland especially for the price. The fried green tomatoes had no taste, the deviled eggs were not seasoned but the brisket on top was excellent. The salad dressing was too acidic. My husband had the snapper and I had the lamp chops. The snapper had no seasoning and the lamp chops were tough and the sauce over then wasn’t very tasty . The atmosphere was great, but at those prices, the food should be even GREATER!!!
