Has a great evening out vibe but not in the stuffy or uptight way. Staff and servers were friendly, professional and handling the busy crowd well. We were served waters right away and a drink order was taken, then the beautiful bread basket was delivered and it had an assortment of carrots and celery plus, a crunchy flatbread cracker, buttery cheese biscuit, yeast roll, and a rustic sourdough roll (I'm guessing on these, but we ate them all!). For our meal we settled on the pork schnitzel with kale, brussels, and roasted potatoes and the scallops with butternut squash risotto. The schnitzels was lovely with its crispy breading, a creamy mushroom "gravy" and an onion sauce for the potatoes and veggies that was rich and flavorful. The brussels were caramelized and paired perfectly with creamy elements. The sautéed onions pulled the potatoes and kale in and it was just a great plate of food. Elevated comfort, Scallops were cooked perfectly and were tender with a nice "crust" and the risotto had chunks of pork belly and butternut squash for a salty/sweet balance. Sadly we didn't get dessert because we were headed to a party but we will be back to try the short rib and bread pudding!

When I asked the server, she said it was an extra $2 for being blackened, but never stated on the menu. She was either guessing or was told to tell this to customers if they asked. The manager came over when I pressed and they provided me with a $2 "discount" because she said the menus were being changed. I am extremely skeptical and have seen several restaurants recently pull all kinds of schemes, knowing few patrons will notice or say anything. Incidentally, the price increase would come to more than 18%.

We started with a carafe of blood orange mimosas. The flavor was great! I would've liked a little bit more chilled but nothing a little ice couldn't take care of. I went with the grilled Romaine salad. What an awesome choice. The Romain was grilled to perfection and topped with a lot of crumbled blue cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, pistachios, bacon, and blueberries. The fried oysters we're served to the side of the salad and they were not too heavily battered and made a delicious compliment to this amazing salad. The warm Maple bacon vinaigrette was absolutely delicious. I will not be just passing by this pace anymore - it actually might become one of my regular stops!

So, we were let down with the small portion of fish on the sandwich and the breading which fell away too easily. No throwback to yesteryear. Bummer My other choice was the Oyster sandwich which is simply a half dozen fried oysters on a split top bun, pickles, and a leaf of lettuce. No sauce, onion, or tomato. At $18, I was disappointed although it tasted good. With so many places at the beach angling for pescatarian enthusiasts, I have found better.

The atmosphere is super fun, lots of cool island and nautical decor. Although we sat inside, they have a fun outdoor space and playground for kids. We were seated and greeted right away, and our server was incredibly friendly! They have a pretty extensive menu. One nice thing about the menu is that they have options that are not just seafood. We all got waters & I ordered a glass of Cabernet. I'm a sucker for Oysters Rockefeller so always try these at a new spot! These were really delicious, however, there was quite a bit of topping on the oyster and it could've been a little lighter, but still so yummy and would order again! We all ordered either the grilled chicken or grilled shrimp tacos for our entrées and they were outstanding! They are served with beans and rice but you can substitute for any other side. We ordered the chicken tenders and fries for our daughter and she enjoyed them. She's also obsessed with pickles, and the server brought us a few extra which was very sweet. I would recommend this spot. Fun atmosphere, great service, kid friendly, and yummy food!

After about a 20 minute wait we were shown to our table in the back right corner of the main interior dining room with JR as our server. Service was great and the food even better. We went all in tasting the following; - Fried Deviled Eggs - Fried Goat Cheese Croquettes - Fried Okra - Pimento Cheese - Dill Pickle Cheddar Biscuits - Petite Beef Tenderloin - Cheesecake Everything was absolutely delicious and I do mean EVERYTHING. You won't go wrong with any of these selections. We left stuffed and had plenty of leftovers to take with us to enjoy as snacks later in the evening. I definitely have a new go-to spot when I'm in the area next time.
