Service was slow in the beginning and it took a long time to get to make our order. The salmon was very good but the little potatoes were mushy seemed like they had been microwaved. The ambience was nice. My husband liked his wahoo.

First time here, visiting from Massachusetts. Excellent & friendly service by host and our waitress. The menu provided a long list of very interesting drink & food choices. The food was fantastic. We had a great evening. When we'll live in Greenville, this restaurant will be on top of our list for dine-out options.

Fantastic experience, as always. Shrimp were cooked perfect, The restaurant was willing to substitute crab on the linguine instead of scallops and it was wonderful. One of our favorite local places! Amazing value for what you receive.
