Took my grandma to lunch and both of us were over the moon with the food. (A great selection of Fresh Seafood) Our Server Max went above and beyond to explain the menu and make wine recommendations. He also made a killer off menu cocktail. When I go out this is the level of service that will get 5 stars everytime

My family came in for lunch because my daughter is obsessed with their house made gelato and sorbet. Regina was fantastic as our server and the food was delicious as always!

South Park has been a favorite of mine for years because it has the best seafood in the city. The shrimp is excellent as well as the clam chowder and the Brussel sprouts……yum Our server Jake was outstanding, friendly, knowledgeable, professional with a great sense of humor. Next time I come I will ask for Jake as my server.

Positives: The service was beyond excellent from beginning to end. Truly! The oysters were good and the brussel sprouts were tasty. Negatives: We ordered the shrimps and grits and it was a bit underwhelming with the small shrimp and soupy grits. Also, the fish and chips weren’t as crispy as we would have liked. It was fine but just… fine. Will go back as the cocktails were good, but we know what to order next time food wise.

I can't remember if I have ever give a #1 rating. But the service here was so bad I would have given a zero if possible. Stopped in on the recommendation of a tour guide from a company I was reviewing for YouTube Initially I told the hostess I wss ordering take out. However, after paying for the food decided it would be cold by the time I got back to my location and immediately told hostess I would be dining in. I was seated and a waiter brought water to my table. I told him I initially was take out but had changed my mind. It should be noted it was around 2pm and only three other tables occupied inside and a couple outside. I noticed other tables were provided bread and butter so I waited to receive same. After 2 waiters passed me several times I tried to get one of their attention unsuccessfully. I finally got up found a waiter and asked for bread and butter. He obliged. However, I had no silverware. As I am trying to figure out how I'm supposed to put butter on bread without silverware another waiter walks by and drops silverware on the table without saying a word. Eventually the hostess brings my entree along with the side salad I ordered. I prefer to eat my salad first and then my meal. So, rather than eat my salad and have the meal get cold, which is what I wanted to avoid, I decide to take my salad with me and just ate my entree. I ordered the fish and chips. I must say the fish was excellent, probably the best I have had with an order of fish and chips. It was moist, cooked to perfection, and the coating was the exact level of crispness. The fries, however, were mostly hard and only a few decent enough to eat. I would have liked a glass of wine but NO ONE ever returned to my table to ask me if I wanted anything or if everything was ok. So, no wine. Finally, after finishing and it was clear I wasn't going to be helped by anyone I got up and went to the kitchen staff to ask for a to go box for my salad and was given one. Quite honestly I don't see how a restaurant stays in business with such rotten customer service. I never leave a tip under 20-25%. But, this time I felt the mandatory 15% take out gratuity was too much and left nothing additional!! I am going to contact the person from the tour company who recommended this place and suggest they stop doing so because as I was leaving I saw another person from the tour was also there. I hope they were treated better than me.

The food was excellent, the service was attentive and considerate of the conversation in process. This restaurant is on my list of "go-to's" especially for business.

Always a great choice for me a meal out.

Very good choice for restaurant and seafood choices. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Food and drinks were amazing, just like the previous visits.

Delicious all around. From the crab to the halibut, very tasty.
