Loving all my local seafood restaurants, but I will be back here for sure; again and again and again. Let me say that I've been to sooo many seafood restaurants in my life ( I'm 58) and if you like fried oysters, they do them right, gloriously right. Everyone of those beautiful slightly crispy, perfectly seasoned and breaded ocean aphrodisiacs was an explosion of flavor in my mouth! My wife had bacon wrapped shrimp. She described them as "fully cooked" which is her general preference. She also enjoyed an add-on of clam strips and raved about them all the way home. Service was swift and with a smile but visitors should know that the dining room is outside under beautiful oaks; amazing Don't forget what I failed to mention; they have fresh seafood for sale also. Soft shell crab, snapper, grouper, and shrimp to name a few. Combination restaurant and fish monger! You gotta go.

We got a whole fish (which they said they couldn't debone but could descale it?) and it smelled so bad. It had meat that was disintegrating as we tried to butcher it. Then the scallops (sea scallops) looked funny to me. My suspicions were right because cutting in half I found they were either a bunch of tiny bay scallops shoved together in a perfect "scallop" mold, or it was something else- definitely not sea scallops. Super frustrated we wasted our money on this place.

I love how they fire the shrimp at the last minute, so they don't sit in a heated soup for hours on end, becoming rubber bands. Next, I got the scallops with the saffron risotto. Yum! Girlfriend got the a snapper dish on a butter bean medley. She doesn't like Lima beans (which these actually appeared to be), so she ate around them, but she loved the fish! Service - 5 stars Our waiter was a nice gentleman named Tony. He was very friendly and helpful and timely with his service. Did a good job of helping my girlfriend navigate the wine menu (she's quite picky). They've actually got some aged white wines (Sauvignon blancs) that are quite different than what she normally drinks (she likes New Zealand varieties), so he steered her clear of them. Ambiance - 5 stars I found the interior of the place to be very inviting. Tall ceilings and modern architecture. A little on the loud side (we had a family with young kids nearby), but not bad. They actually have sound absorbing panels mounted on the ceiling, so you can tell they've given this element some thought. Finally, our table had a nice view of the kitchen and, as an avid personal chef, I really appreciate that aspect. Only odd thing (to me, at least) was that they sat us at a table right away (we arrived right at 5pm, which was when they opened), but told us that the bar seating was by reservation only. Odd...but maybe be the Kentucky Derby was coming on later that evening? In summary, I highly recommend this place and we will certainly be coming back!

Wonderful seafood restaurant in John's Island…read more We started the evening with drinks and an order of the hush puppies. They arrived hot and with a side of honey butter that was delicious. I had the swordfish and my friend enjoyed the salmon. Both were incredible. The chocolate cake was a standout. Love that they showcase their desserts on their social media. Everyone was very kind. The server was good, nice enough...Seemed a bit rushed, however, which deducted a star. Not overly personable.
