There's always a variety of oysters from five or six different locations, and today, I had to compete with my daughter and grandson to get my fair share. You want to take advantage of the variety, it makes for a an outstanding eating experience. The restaurant sits right on the Tennessee River, it's a great spot to sit, relax and enjoy the wonderful food. While the seafood is wonderful, there is a variety of offerings that include some Mexican, some barbecue, fresh sandwiches and salads. Service is always top notch. They have a few of their own recipe drinks, this is a spot you definitely want to give a try!

The girl with long blackish hair needs to both brush the rats nest and pull it up off her face, yuk. Said Ashley on the ticket but not sure if that's her name. But when you're taking people their food and it next to nasty looking hair it's a huge turn off. She was super low energy and maybe having a bad day but why hasn't a supervisor at least have her not be a health code violation with that hair.

The entire staff, with Rivers as the obvious leader, works very hard to see that everyone in the place is pleased with their experience from the moment you enter until you leave.

We each got a different sandwich and they were each delicious. I got the Harvest Turkey - the fig jam is delightful! My oldest got the cubano - excellent! My daughter got the chicken salad - it was good but it is a chunky style, so if you prefer it with smaller chunks it may not be for you. My youngest got grilled cheese - you can't go wrong with that! (It's not technically on the menu but the waitress offered it when he said he didn't know what to get.) Finally, my husband got the catfish po-boy and said, "It's the best piece of blackened fish I've ever had!" (I agree!) The remoulade and cajun sauces were good, too. The varied salt and pepper sets added whimsy to the homey atmosphere, too!

Fortunately, after 6pm it's both free and easy to find nearby. As a solo diner I was initially relegated to the bar but, I don't drink so I asked for a quieter table and within 5 minutes they accommodated me with a seat by the windows upstairs. The inside is gorgeous and they have a nice patio as well. Beautiful and low-key but elegant decor. Service was excellent and extremely proficient. Never had to ask twice for something and easily able to answer menu questions and make suggestions. I actually hadn't planned on ordering the Fattoush but, when I said I loved tomatoes it was recommended and I am so glad it was. It was a standout. In the end I ordered 3 things bc I was dining solo: -Hummus with crudité (veggies instead of bread) -Fattoush - seasonal ingredients. -Red Snapper - about 3oz so small portion but perfectly cooked and flavored. Loved this. I very much wanted the knafeh dessert but I knew the portion was big and didn't want to be miserable and waste it. They have a nice non-alcoholic menu with some interesting drinks as well. Overall - perfect final meal in town and I can't wait to come back with my husband and try even more!
