Very disappointed in our experience. My husband sent his old fashion back twice because it was very heavy on the bitters. We only ended up ordering appetizers because we were so disappointed, and the quality was good, but not upscale dining.

This was our second time here and it was different. Not sure if maybe because it is not tourist season. We were literally in and out in under an hour. My filet was ok…my husbands fish was ok…the best part was definitely the gumbo.

This is one of the jewels of our area. From the hostess greeting me by name, to the outstanding service while dining at the bar by Peter and Becca, it was a nice experience. The food was really good too! Wyatt, the manager, made sure to come by too. The chef came out and said hello, made sure my steak was perfectly done. I really like this place!

My favorite restaurant in the area. The scallops are incredible! One day I’ll have to try something else. I’ve been eating the scallops for years.
