    Fabulous view, delightful server, amazing appetizers, which were the unique seafood sliders and the limey jalapenoed ceviche! We also shared the fried seafood platter which was a bit overcooked but definitely will return - hopefully by ferry next time!

    Two weeks ago I asked for a table with a view and the hostess wanted to put us in a booth. She did eventually find a table outside for us. The service was poor. The one waitress had no idea how to serve. The pasta was overcooked, the portions were small and over priced. They did give us a tuna tartar and a cheesecake as an apology which was nice. The setting is gorgeous, the food and service were disappointing!! We ate there a year ago and it was great!! What happened??

    My husband and I ate supper on the outside porch ( covered). We had the fried fish supper and the Caesar salad that was simply delicious. Our server, Zoe, was excellent with her customer service.

    Meal was excellent! The espresso martini was not good! The dessert options were hard to choose between with how delicious they all read.
    The KingstideResponded 3 days ago
    Lucia, I am so glad to hear that your meal was excellent. So sorry to hear about the espresso martini. The dessert options really are tough to choose between. They are made fresh daily right here in house. The carrot cake is one of my absolute personal favorites. We do hope that you will come back and see us again real soon. We also added a new dessert drink to our spring menu so maybe check that out next time. Thank you again for your review. Jacqueline Dornick AGM

    Food was delicious. Our friends are oyster lovers, were very impressed. I had blackened grouper with mushroom grits, my husband red snapper and our guests sword fish. Service was outstanding. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations and management bent over backwards to make sure your evening was above and beyond. The setting on the Ashley River is beautiful.

    Dinner was excellent - the oysters were small but tasty, the she crab soup was rich and creamy, the wahoo was flaky and delicious (especially with the mushrooms in the sauce), and squid ink pasta (nero) was very tasty. We enjoyed all of it! Oh yes and the key lime pie.... Mmmmm. We ate too much and took some leftovers home :) Service was friendly and very attentive, very nice all around. It was a little too loud it was hard to have a conversation at times but we managed. Some noise absorption would be helpful.

    Alli, Thank you so much for your 5-star review!!! I am so thrilled to hear that dinner was excellent here with us on your visit. We do rotate our oysters daily and I am so glad you found them tasty. The she-crab soup is one or newer additions to the menu. I am so glad that you enjoyed it as well. The key lime pie is house made daily and has been on our menu since the beginning. It is really excellent. We just added the strawberry swirl cheesecake to our dessert menu as well. I am so happy to hear that your service was friendly and attentive. Great food and great service go hand in hand for the exceptional dining experience. We do strive for that memorable hospitality and that lasting impression. Do hope you will join us again soon. Jacqueline Dornick, AGM
