Overall a great experience. The server was amazing. The bread is to die for. The oysters were delicious. The peel /eat shrimp appetizer was great. The octopus appetizer was great. We also had the she crab soup, the mushroom side, the hushpuppy side. The entrees were the scallops dish and the flounder dish. Overall great. The wait time between dishes seemed very long. Not a place to go if you are on a tight schedule for event after dinner. Suggestion may be to order everything early on and let them glow it. Definitely will be back for oysters and appetizers.

It is a great neighborhood location that has just the right balance of comfort food (meatloaf, pork chops, seafood, and pasta) with a step of higher class. Priced within means to enjoy a nice meal and glass of wine (or cocktail). A favorite
