    The food and drinks were great and at a reasonable price. Our server was knowledgeable but could used a bit more training. Still a good experience.

    The restaurant had large grooves and the kitchen had gotten behind and the restaurant was full, so what could’ve been a recipe for lots of disgruntled customers was handled beautifully! Waitress kept checking on us and offering bread and appetizers while we waited. The manager came over and extended. Apologies but also Said that our bill would reflect her recognition of the extended weight. When our food did come, it was delicious. We were in tourist mode and not in a rush. And to our wonderful surprise at the end the manager had taken care of the whole bill! So we passed the savings onto our waitress. I’m sure I felt brunt of any disgruntled customers. They were just wonderful in my opinion and I would go back to that restaurant in a skinny minute!

    The only reason I gave 4 stars was because of a problem they had in the kitchen that took over a hour to get our food, once we ordered. Once we got our food, it was excellent (as usual), although my wife’s redfish could have been a great deal warmer. Shrimp and cheese grits was the best I ever had and the bourbon pecan pie was unbelievable! We’ll be back next trip!

    Cobb salad was disappointing. The shrimp did not appear fresh and the rest of the salad looked like it came from a bag of salad from the grocery.
