But apparently that rule applies even when you are already sitting at the bar. Not near it. Not across the room. Literally sitting at it. So there I am, thinking a bartender might... I don't know... bartend. Instead, I'm expected to get up, walk around, and order at the same bar from a different location like I unlocked a side quest. At that point I just sat there like, "Is this a test? Do I win a prize if I figure out the correct angle?" Spoiler: I didn't. Because I left. No drink. No service. Just confusion and an early exit. Atmosphere: decent Service: more of a DIY experience Drinks: still a mystery Up To No Good Tavern--where you can sit at the bar and still somehow not be in the right place

Something has to be said if a place is open for more than 100 years. And was impressed for a small town restaurant. Nice decor, good service, and impressive food.

The Baltic oysters left something to be desired. They had an extremely fishy taste and overall were disappointing. We loved the fried gulf shrimp and hush puppies.

The service was excellently provided by a very nice and friendly server who had superb recommendations for appetizers and entries. The 1/2 order crab dip was a meal in itself, it was more than adequate for three people. The fried shrimp, as always, was excellent. A very light batter, fried to perfection. The blackened redfish, with artichoke hearts, grape tomatoes, capers with spinach and crème sauce, over a bed of rice, was one of the best fish entries I've had, anywhere. Just fyi, if you want a nice casual place to go and have a few beers, sandwiches, whatever, this is the place. If you want the fine dining, in a casual atmosphere, this is the place also. You can order anything off the menu from the Owl Cafe, which is upstairs. Their "finer dining" establishment. Go and enjoy.

We were so impressed that we recommended this place to multiple people and were genuinely excited to come back last Sunday. Unfortunately, this visit was a complete disappointment from start to finish. The service was noticeably worse, the beer selection was extremely limited compared to before, and the food was honestly some of the worst seafood we've had in years. We ordered the fried calamari and the mixed grilled seafood plate. The calamari was chewy, flavorless, and the batter had an unpleasant texture. The mixed seafood plate was even worse - the oysters looked, smelled, and tasted awful, and the fish, shrimp, stuffed crab and scallops were completely bland. Even the fried okra, which should be an easy Southern staple, was disappointing. We left wondering if they changed chefs or management because the difference from our first experience was shocking. Even my mom, who is far from a picky eater, could barely eat her food. It's genuinely upsetting because this used to be a place we loved and enthusiastically recommended to others. Sadly, after this experience, we won't be returning.
