   Food good but verify your bill. We were party of six so there was an added surcharge, which is fine. Our final bill did not include the details but did include the “suggested tip.” Our usual practice is to tip 20% not 38-40. VERY DECEPTIVE!

   Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the food and apologize for any confusion regarding the bill. A 20% service charge is automatically added for parties of six or more, and this is noted on our menu and reflected as a service charge on the final bill. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will review how the bill formatting might be improved for clarity.

   The food was really good! It was quiet in the restaurant and tables were a good distance from other diners. Would have loved to sit outside of the weather would have cooperated!

   I made a reservation for Saturday evening and we arrived a few minutes before our scheduled time. The hostess informed us that they do not actually accept reservations on the weekend. She was able to seat us immediately so the situation was resolved satisfactorily. My suggestion is that an adjustment be made on Open Table to reflect that this restaurant does not take reservations on the weekend.

   They weren’t open. I called to confirm my reservation and was told they wouldn’t be open until sometime after 3pm. No sign in the door or anything. Regrouped quickly as this was my husband’s choice for his Birthday lunch. It was very disappointing. Normally this is our go to for lunch on the river. Can’t say we’ll be back.

   Excellent service with Morgan and Jackie however there was a horrible toilet smell when you walked inside. They claimed it was the oysters and then when we ordered oysters they couldn’t even open them. All of the food was pretty bad with the exception of the crab legs.

   Kelly, we appreciate your feedback and are glad you enjoyed the service. We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the oysters and the unpleasant odor. Your comments will help us improve our food quality and overall environment. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

   We were very happy with the food here. It was hot, abundant, and well seasoned. At the table we had the steamed clams, crab quesadilla, crab legs, grilled chicken sandwich, mussels/clam fettuccini, and shrimp po boy. All was terrific. Our waitress, Jackie was lovely, but a little forgetful. We got our own plates and napkins from the server station… after sitting with our apps for a few minutes with no plates 🤦🏻‍♀️

   Really good food! Loved the crab dip and raw oysters! Our waitress was great, checked in on us multiple times, and food came out in good timing. Grilled red snapper was delicious!

   Was a great experience. Server Jaqueline made me feel welcomed. I showed up about 20 mins before my reservation, she said no problem and got me a table with a view on the patio, even though I was by myself. The food was good. I had the oysters, and crab claws. Oysters were on ice and had great flavor. The crab claws were a bit overdone, but the flavor was great. I got the Oglethorpe steak for a main course, and it was loaded with crab and mushrooms on top. Perfect!! Overall great dining experience, great service!!

    We had to wait a good hour and a quarter before being served (even though it's clearly stated on the premises that we only have 90 minutes!). All this for a fish of the day costing over 30 dollars, much overcooked and dry, with vulgar steamed zucchinis and potatoes that weren't very fresh. It's a shame. Not to mention the fact that they were out of fettuccine (understandable for a fresh product, but for pasta it's the last straw). Dirty tables and place. A totally overrated tourist trap !
