We wanted a good seafood place with a casual atmosphere and without the high prices of some other seafood restaurants in the area. River Room proved to be exactly that.

A historical remodel on Front St in Georgetown gives you an elegant but fun atmosphere for locals and tourists alike. The menu online show the variety from Seafood to Steak including a popular Quail dish. The small plates allow you to enjoy a 3 course meal. The desserts are not to be missed. The Key Lime Pie and Carrot Cake were the favorites passed around our table of 7 ladies. We had a great Front St window table. The restaurant is small and narrow inside but they have Front St tables and a patio out back with The Winyah Bay view. We enjoyed the Petite Filet that everyone raved about, crab cake , a vegetarian plate of sautéed vegetables, a salad with fried oysters. The appetizers were the cheese biscuits and pimento cheese. Martinis and wine started the meal. Frank's is A nice addition to a small town with big charm on Front St.

My wife, parents, and I went here to celebrate our wedding and had an absolutely amazing dinner…read more The staff was so kind and made us feel welcome from the moment we came in. Every dish felt curated and intentional. We started with the crab dip and corn bread and both were delicious. The Miso butter that comes with the cornbread gave it such a pleasant Umami note. For dinner we had the Chicken, Scallops, Pork Chop, and Shrimp and Grits. The carrot puree that held the scallops was so smooth, sweet, and rich. It complimented the scallops perfectly. My shrimp and grits were fantastic. The grits were the perfect texture, and the shrimp cooked to perfection. The bone in pork chop was perfectly cooked, was seasoned so well, and extremely tender and juicy. I think I was most impressed with the chicken, sweet potatoes, and bacon jam. It's hard to explain but the bourbon bacon jam almost tasted like how it smells when they smoke a cocktail, in the best way. The sweet potatoes tasted incredible and balanced out the savory chicken. I really can't recommend this resteraunt enough. From the food, to the service and the ambiance, everything was fantastic. I've dined at a handful of Michelin starred resteraunts and the overall quality and completion of the dishes here easily competes and surpasses those experiences. Thank you for such a wonderful dinner

For the main I decided to go with the scallops. They were cooked well but could have been seasoned a bit more but still good. One item of note is that the scallops meal is a bit light so if you are really hungry, get a side item or maybe something else. The service was really good. She provided suggestions, checked on us often and was very knowledgeable. A good experience overall.

Our server was so fun and nice, he made sure to answer all of our food questions. He blessed us with some warm loafs of bread, they were so good.

I also split the arugula salad with my wife, and she had the risotto. Root is definitely worth checking out, it's a little pricier than some other spots but the food and service were worth it, give them a try!

Here's a fun, original review you can post for Buzz's Roost:…read more If you're driving from Charleston to Myrtle Beach after work, do yourself a favor and skip the predictable Taco Bell drive-thru. Instead, take a scenic detour to Georgetown's charming Front Street and Riverwalk, where dinner feels like the start of a mini vacation. We pulled into Buzz's Roost around 8 p.m. on a cool, damp Friday night in May, and the New England clam chowder was exactly what the doctor ordered. Warm, creamy, and comforting, it melted away the stress of the workweek with the very first spoonful. Our blackened fresh fish sandwiches were outstanding. The fish was perfectly cooked, and the seasoning had just the right kick to remind you that simple food can still be unforgettable. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. With its exposed brick interior and waterfront setting, Buzz's Roost feels like a cozy warehouse transformed into a laid-back riverfront hangout. Friendly service made us feel right at home, and the skeeball and foosball tables were tempting enough that we're already planning a return visit. I can easily picture coming back on a warm summer evening--or even during football season--to soak in the Riverwalk views, enjoy a great meal, and unwind. They also brew their own beer, which is a nice touch. My only wish is that they offered a non-alcoholic beer on draft for those of us making the road trip and keeping it light. Buzz's Roost is more than just a restaurant stop--it's a reminder that sometimes the best part of the journey is pulling over and discovering a place you can't wait to revisit.
