    The Sheepshead fish special was wonderful - I have had a lot of fish but I think this is the best I have ever had. Beautiful presentation, delicious combination of flavors.

    Another great evening at Bistro 217. The soft shell crab was an excellent appetizer and the local flounder over grits was superb. Making reservations now for the next time we are down to the SC coast.
