    We booked a party for family for graduation weekend for 8 and asked for quiet table with a view and our request was granted. We were greeted by elaborate and well done UNCW decor. Lee provided amazing service as we ordered multiple courses and drinks and had some guests who were late due to traffic. The steaks were cooked perfectly as ordered for three people one rare; one medium rare and one well done and all enjoyed. Calamari was excellently prepared and not over done. Shrimp was fresh and large and fried calabash style and prepared well for shrimp and grits. We tried the barramundi and red snapper which were both prepared well and had interesting accompaniments. Drinks including mocktails were done well and interesting. Traditional margarita was made expertly, Pina Colada cocktail and Carolinacation (mock rum and coke) were standouts. I recommend booking a reservation for large groups we saw many tables with large groups up to 15. Good options for families. We recommend you give the chef a raise!

    We enjoyed our dinner here. Four of us dined and the food was delicious! We had hot & fire shrimp, shrimp tacos, crab cakes, Philly cheesesteak, pork chop and we all shared the peanut butter pie. Everyone loved the food! Service was excellent! Our server Lauren was great and our bartender Adam makes great drinks! The view of the sunset was phenomenal! We look forward to our next visit there.
