Wonderful dining experience. We’ve been coming to the Surfside beach area for years and I have no idea why we never stumbled across this restaurant. We will definitely return. Our server was fantastic and we had a wonderful conversation with Jason, ( operating partner). I mean, you feel like you had been there as a customer for years and it was our first time. We dined on the hush puppies, shrimp, and grits and fried scallops. Food was absolutely delicious. You could tell that the ingredients were sourced locally and very fresh. I’m not a huge fried food eater, and the scallops were absolutely divine. The coating on them was not heavy or greasy. It was just almost barely detectable that they were fried. They were so juicy and tender on the inside. The ambience looking out over the marsh was gorgeous as we watched the sun go down. Really looking forward to returning.

Had a fantastic dinner at UPTWN Prime! We sat at the bar, and the bartender was incredibly friendly and highly knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered the toasted Manhattan for 2, which was excellent, and shared the Tomahawk steak with sides of spinach and truffle fries. It was way too much food but everything tasted amazing. The live music was also a really nice addition to the atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

We moved to OIB 3 months ago and this is one of our favorites! Food is always consistent (though portions have diminished a bit). Service is always great! Recommend reservations.
