    Made a reservation ahead for the Lounge HH on Saturday 8/22 for my SIL's birthday. The hostess who…read moretook the reservation was so positive and helpful and customer service oriented, it was so refreshing! We arrived at 2pm and they didn't have the server staff going to full power, but we so enjoyed the art deco environment, food, drinks and staff service overall. Just had to wait a bit here and there for a server to return when we were ready for more drink orders from the bar. All bartenders and servers were very skilled and customer service oriented, Even Coast probably needed one server more or something as it got full by 3 as the hostess had told me. Love the art deco mermaid pins the female staff wore, plus other unique thought out accoutrements. We like to share plates and loved everything we had! The oysters, burrata, smoked clam chowder, yellowtail curd, smoked salmon dip with homemade potato chips, and the fried cod, frites and Cole slaw. Some of us had cocktails- all great, then we all switched to wine, then finished with espresso martini and amazing dessert. Everything was expertly hand crafted (cocktails), and the food expertly prepared so our high praise and compliments to the Chef, Sous, Cooks, Servers, Hostess and Restaurant Manager, who did stop by and check on us. Thanks for a great experience! We'll return!

    Friend recommended we try this place over going to Kenny's....it didn't even compare. The food was…read moreexcellent. There's just a thoughtfulness at Kenny's you just don't find here. I got a lemon dropped....it came with a huge piece of cotton candy (aka "citrus candy floss") on top that the waiter didn't bother to tell me I need to push down into the glass. He did warn me it was going to be an extremely sweet drink....and it was. I then thought I'd try a white cosmo. Good drink, but they use a craft ice cube with a flower in it....and then put it in a shallow glass. So at some point, the ice cube was just resting on my nose so I could drink. How has no one noticed this flaw? He preferred the smoke signal over the long watch. He said the long watch had a flavor he just didn't particularly enjoy. Shared some appetizers: cheeseburger was pretty good. He really liked the oysters...and that they serve the mignonette on the side. And he really, really enjoyed the mignonette. I don't enjoy salmon, but thought we'd try the dip. It didn't turn me into a salmon lover, but he thought it was pretty good. I got the bucatini and it was delicious. Great chunks of crab. I was pretty full so took most of it home....it did not reheat as well as I would've like. But, it's a cream sauce, so that's expected. He got the tagliatelle. He also enjoyed it, but probably wouldn't get it again. He just wasn't blown away. Just a lot of little things that would make me drive down the road rather than come back.

    Happy Hour Oysters are amazing!…read more I forgot the cocktail names, but I got the espresso martini with tequila peanut butter and my man got the drink with the gunpowder gin. They were both very good, we got second rounds of it too. Food wise, the happy oysters were great and refreshing. We tried oysters from multiple different locations. Hot food were solid. Fried calamari, jumbo lump crab cakes with sautéed spinach and mashed potatoes, fish and chips with cheesy grits were all good! Service was a little slow, but we went during half priced wine bottles which made sense. Everyone was nice and helpful though! Ambiance was very nice too. Definitely recommend!

    Great experience at this restaurant that started with ambience. It feels like a seafood restaurant…read more Service was excellent. They utilize team approach where someone else brought the drinks and food runners brought the food. Manager checked on us to make sure everything was good. Our water glasses were never empty. I ordered a Bloody Mary that they returned with a shrimp and celery stick. Nice touch. I specifically went here to try their soft shell crab and it did not disappoint. Others in the party had lobster rolls and the fried shrimp basket. I forgot to mention that we had the appetizers , crab hush puppies and fried oysters and both were excellent. We also tried the bread pudding and key lime pie for dessert that we really liked. Overall we would definitely return.

Our server, John, was friendly and offered to answer any questions we had. He offered honest reviews and suggestions which were very helpful. We went in search of oysters and they did not disappoint. Very fresh, with a nice variety. The main course entrees were very good as well. The atmosphere was upbeat/lively. The place was clean and had a classy vibe. We each had a cocktail, along with a couple pours of tequila and whiskey. We also had the key lime bar for dessert. We spent exactly $400 with tip.

Paloma had fresh grapefruit and martini was shaken to the point of chipped ice and just the right amount of flavor profile. Started with the crab & artichoke dip with fresh chips. Chips were fresh and crispy. The dip was good, but was expecting a bit more flavor and/or crab/artichokes. Moved on to the mains. We asked for a wine to be paired and our server paired a nice red for each of us. We had the redfish, which came with creamed potatoes and asparagus. All was very tasty. Also had the seared tuna with fries. The fries with thin and hot. Ask for the spicy aoli for the fries. The seared tuna was very nicely done. Service was great. This is a happening place, so be sure to get a reservation. They do have a bar, but it was always full during the time we were there.
