Both times I've been there we've sat at tables and watched from afar. It's a very laid back place. Friendly staff! We got oysters of course for an appetizer. They were really good. It was a variety which isn't on the menu but if you want try different flavors it's the way to go. So I ordered water at first then decided to get a beverage when the server came for our order. We had had to ask about it... it came at the same time as the food. Which is my fault but still. I had to remind her I ordered it. And it was ok. Strawberry daiquiri. I'll order something different next time. The food was really good. I got shrimp and scallops broiled with fried okra and cheese grits. Not a fan of the cheese grits but the okra was great. The shrimp and scallops were really good too. Hubs got broiled shrimp and fried oysters with okra and corn on the cob. He liked it all. Daughter got fried clams which were delicious! She also got corn on the cob and fried okra. Also all meals come with hush puppies. Over all a good experience.

Looking at other reviews, I see it seems to be a pattern. We're local and won't be back. We walked in and they were busy and she shouted close the door you're letting in hot air. OK, I understood, and let that go. There was a large party of 8 in front of us waiting to be seated. We asked for a table for 4. She yelled it would be awhile and to "get outside and wait" and she'd get to us when she could. Absolutely no reason to speak to customers like that. We left. I thought maybe it was someone who had not taken their medications or an overworked employee that could use the opportunity for service recovery remediation, so I called and asked to speak to the owner. I would want to know if one of my employees had spoken to my customers in that manner. When I asked to speak to the owner, to my surprise, the rude female hostess said she was the owner and she didn't have time to speak to me and hung up. We went right down the street to Flour Power and got seated within 10 min. Service was great and the food was delicious. In these difficult times we live in today, kindness and politeness goes a long way. Skip Fatty Patty's...go to one of the other breakfast establishments in the area. I won't support those in the community that don't have any respect for their paying customers.

They forgot my fiancés order, and when they finally brought it, after I went back to ask for it, 20 minutes later, his crab legs were not near the quality.

Tonight, One thing, maybe get a water dispenser that folks can access themselves so the down bartender isn't spending half her time fixing cups of water.

It's the absolute perfect place to escape the tourist crowds and enjoy a fantastic meal--but take it from a local: arrive early, because the locals know where the good places are, and this place fills up! The menu has an amazing variety of choices, and everything is incredibly fresh. They don't even have a walk-in freezer--that's how committed they are to fresh ingredients--and you can absolutely taste the difference. The food is consistently delicious, the service is fantastic, and the atmosphere is just as special. When the temperatures cool down, it's a wonderful place to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather, or head inside and take in the quintessential decor and cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Copper Tap Grille truly delivers on quality, freshness, service, and atmosphere. It's one of those local favorites that reminds you why the best places are often tucked just a little bit away from the crowds. Five stars all the way!

Unfortunately, today's lunch visit was disappointing. We stopped in around 1pm, and the restaurant was mostly empty aside from a few guests at the bar. The calamari was fantastic, easily the highlight of the meal. However, the rest of the experience fell short. Our food took quite a while to come out despite the restaurant not being busy. My father's burger arrived raw and had to be sent back, which was frustrating. I ordered the grouper sandwich. While the fish itself was cooked properly, it tasted bland and lacked seasoning. The portion of fish was also much larger than the bun, which made it awkward to eat, the fillet kept sliding out and falling apart. It just wasn't a good overall feel for a sandwich. Additionally, the service felt inattentive. Our waitress wasn't very engaged, and overall the experience didn't match the standard I've come to expect here. I'm hoping this was just an off day, as I've had great meals here before.
