    The food was excellent, and they were very accommodating (I don't like sausage in my shrimp and grits, and they had no issue leaving it out). We tried the Black Eyed Pea Cakes as an appetizer and really like them. The fish of the day - mahi mahi - was excellent. Great location - right on the corner of River Street.

    My husband and I enjoyed our meal here. Our server was very polite and attentive. The food was delicious. My only complaint is that the bread is too hard, and there was so little of it. We will revisit when we are in Savannah.

    Very slow service. Long wait for food. Of 5 meals ordered, all but 1 was shockingly bad - and that was a salad. Never again.
