I made a reservation which I highly recommend (if no reservation it was over an hour wait). When you first walk in it was so crowded. The silverware was dirty, my glass had food on it. We ordered a jack and coke and it was a little on the weak side. The ribeye was ok but the filet mignon was delicious. It was so tender. We got the cheesecake and chocolate cake which was ok also. I have been wanting to try this place for a while. The price was not bad but not one of my top choices to go.

Excellent food! My two colleagues and I were all thrilled with our dishes. One got the Salmon stuffed with feta (new special), another the fish with grits, and I had the scallop pasta (very, very good).
Nice staff and great outdoor seating for warm evenings. Indoor seating seemed fine but a bit too fishy smelling even for this fish loving crowd (probably just need to charge an air filter).

I’m currently visiting here on 11/2 while in town for work. The drink was nice. The crab cake wasn’t lump crab but it was good. The gumbo was good. And my entree that I ordered of the “specialty catch” never arrived after waiting an hour hence my last photo of my “dinner” aka an empty table. Maybe they had to fly to Australia to catch the Australian sea bass 🤷🏾♀️ who knows 🤷🏾♀️ I wanted to love it but I’m leaving disappointed.
Edit: I expressed my disappointment to the manager Julie and she rectified the situation.

Our server was very sweet. Bread is served before meal, ours was not cooked through completely though. We ordered She soup, firecracker flounder and salt and pepper catfish. Our problem was the flounder came out with about 1/4 of grease still sitting in curves. After requesting napkins to soak it which it took many, for just half, it still just tastes like oil. No flavor, very mealy. However, Our sweet server traded it out quickly and made it right. The catfish plates were out hot and tasted okay. The French fries were our favorite thing. Cooked to perfection! The slaw was very bitter. The she crab very fishy or crabby but lacked the rich flavors. Grits and collards both so so, everything just so blah, not seasoned well, or premade items most likely. The sweet tea is good. The place has a good atmosphere. Prices are even fair. About $16/ea with tea. We drove 2 hours to come, so I won't return. Also, the 3 black fingerprints on our soup cup makes me think the line guys aren't keeping their hands clean. Also, all metered parking.

Nice seafood restaurant with plenty to choose from. Those are not biscuits in this pic they are grits and are delicious. We had great server. Definitely recommend reservations, not required but you will have a wait on Friday or Saturday.
