Excellence is standard here from bar drinks and beers to service and especially the food. Shrimp cocktail coconut shrimp and fried green tomatoes for appetizers, although the ultra fine corn meal hush puppies are highly recommended too. Blackened redfish with special salsa was tender tasty and an unusually rich tasting treat. Mahi Mahi and Chilean sea bass were others chosen and one solo filet mignon. Conversation Slowed to a crawl with few oohs ahhs and you've got to try this statements all thru dinner. Desert was warm carrot cake and chocolate brownie Sunday. Decadent sweet and deliriously great with superb back coffee. Wait staff never left a glass unfilled and was great with recommendations for an unforgettable meal. Next time I'll come earlier to take advantage of the seafood market ( closed at 5 pm) for take home delicacies flown in fresh from everywhere greatest seafood exists. Can't wait til next excuse to go to Kingsport. We didn't scrimp on anything/ the bill was a tad over $ 200 with appetizers desert and entrees. But there were great looking selections on the lesser cost on the menu too. I was looking for a first class dinner experience and was perfectly satisfied. Stuffed and needing a nap after though lol

We walked in for dinner about an hour before closing, so they weren't all that busy. We were shown…read moreto a table along the windows, with an excellent view of the river just outside. It really was quite impressive. Our waitress was friendly but not very present, she'd disappear for large amounts of time and forgot refills a couple of times, but it didn't detract from the meal. I went with the Mahi Mahi entree ($20.99), blackened. I got the loaded potato for my side (+$1) and a side salad. My husband ordered the Stuffed Tilapia ($20.99) and we got the Fried Crab Bites ($14.99) to start. The crab bites and the side salads came out together. The salad was simple but good, kind of reminded me of a school cafeteria side salad in it simplicity. The crab bites were interesting - crispy on the outside, but still a bit...soupy?...on the inside. They were served with a remoulade dipping sauce that added a bit of zest. The main dishes came out pretty quickly, once the appetizer and salad plates were cleared. The mahi piece was smaller than I had expected, which was okay in the sense that I wasn't starving, but surprising in the sense that we were paying $21 for it. Still, it was blackened and flaky, and flavorful. The baked potato was also quite tasty, though I feel like it's hard to mess up a baked potato. My husband's plate was a cheesy, gooey slab of fish, served with two slices of crusty bread. He enjoyed the flavors of the tilapia and appreciated that they didn't skimp on the crab or shrimp meats. We had intended to end the meal with dessert - their specials menu was so intriguing - but by the time we finished our meals, we were stuffed, and it was almost 9 pm, their closing time. We didn't want to be those people making the kitchen stay late, so we packed it in and headed home. One note on the exterior: there were swarms of what we referred to as "midges" - not sure if that's what they truly were, but swarms of tiny bugs that hit you in the face as you were walking and followed you into your car as you were leaving. It was impossible to avoid them. Could have just been the time of year, or day, or maybe it's always like that. Just something to consider.

I had requested extra remoulade sauce and nice to discover that I had received 6 containers. While the sauce is more of a thin consistency, it does have a nice light flavor to it (perfect to dip fries in also). Seasoned fries were perfectly cooked and hot. As for the Shrimp Po Boy, I was happy with the size of the sandwich and the amount of toppings. Definitely bring your appetite! The shrimp were large in size and perfectly cooked. The lettuce could be a bit crisper/fresher, but overall, this satisfied the craving I've been having for a Shrimp Po Boy.

She was knowledgeable of the menu, intuitive to our needs before we even knew we needed it, and so very friendly. As for the food ... our party had many different items from the menu; from their steaks to seafood to soups.

As many have stated in their review, the restaurant is slightly pricier than the norm around this area, but is SO WORTH IT. I would whole-heartedly recommend this restaurant for the delicious food, over the top staff (especially Taylor), and atmosphere. Thank you, Council Oak and Taylor, for a wonderful evening.
