Wow. Just a great dining experience. Our server Leslie was fantastic. The drinks were great, the food was outstanding. We all got something we loved. By the time desserts arrived we were on such a roll I forgot to take pictures! I had the daily special salmon, my wife had the Calabash style shrimp and both were awesome. Creme brulee, cobbler and brownie desserts were all delicious. Very glad to find there are other locations for us to try near home.

A gem of a restaurant kind of hidden away. We both had a bowl of red pepper crab bisque and shared an appetizer of hushpuppies with whipped butter. Ben did an excellent job serving us. The food was absolutely amazing!! Excellent stop.

Honestly the best fried shrimp I have ever had. The crab dip was amazing as well. The fries were fries. The fried flounder was decent.

This is not the first time that we have visited this location. We have eaten here at least twice a year for the past three years. My meal was fine, the Smoked Salmon Alfredo. My wife ordered the Mixed Greens salad with a smoked salmon cake. The salad arrived with bacon on it, which is not listed on the menu. When the salad returned, it was not spring mix, but rather Romaine. The cucumbers were dices so small that I had to laugh. There were no red onions on the salad, which were also listed on the menu. If substitutions are going to be made, the kitchen should inform the wait staff so they can advise the customer before surprises arrive at the table. I get it, supply chain issues but that does not square with poor service.

Shrimp & Grits, Grilled Fish Taco, and Shrimp basket were all very good.

10/10. Absolutely recommend this place to everyone. Bartenders were attentive and cocktails were awesome. On Sunday’s they do $6 bloody Mary’s ( yum ). I got the seafood broil as an entree and it was one of the best I’ve had. Scallops were juicy as well as the shrimp and nothing was over cooked or dry. Can’t get enough. Next time I’m in town I’ll be back.

I was hoping to have an experience like I had at the Raleigh location. Not so, and it was okay. Food was good, but I don’t think this was worth $23 plus tax. Also, the customer service was not genuine, but I say fake it to you make it. Thanks

This was our best seafood meal during our 14 day trip in the Wilmington, Southport, Pleasure Island area. The scallops were cooked perfectly and very tasty. Wish we had eaten her more than once during our trip.

Amazing amazing. We loved everything we ordered from drinks, apps, entrees, and dessert! Our waitress was so fun and made the experience that much better. They were so busy so things came slowly from the bar like we had apps before our drinks, but that’s what you get on a busy Friday night. Food was so fresh and hot when it came out. The restaurant is cold so bring a sweater! The decor is nothing special, but worth a try if you haven’t been here yet. If you like sangria get the pineapple citrus one, it was delicious with both red and white. The espresso brownie was also to die for! Yum. Crème brûlée is my all time fav dessert so try that too!

Simply delicious. The fries seasoning is outstanding. We had one issue with our fries being cold, but the waitress immediately gave us fresh fries on this side. We ordered the fish and chips to keep it simple. The fish was not over/under fried.
