    The seafood was very good. The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars were the sides. For me the fried mashed potatoes weren’t as good as regular mashed potatoes and the collard greens had to much vinegar to taste the collard greens. I will go back again but order different sides.

    I ordered broiled seafood platter that included grouper filet. I was disappointed with the tiny, flat piece of fish that did not have the texture or taste of grouper and the waiter vehemantly told me it WAS grouper and rudely brushed off my questions about it. I later talked to the manager who was nice but quite vague about it theorizing that it might be a small piece by the tail. To be fair, the scallops and shrimp were delicious but IF it was grouper, patrons should be told it is not what you would expect!

    A great meal! Luca was terrific and took care of all of our dining needs. Delicious She Crab Soup and Oyster Stew (chock full of oysters and BACON)! I had the Scallops (great) and husband had the # 3 seafood platter (great). We were so full ... no dessert! Highly recommend. Other reviews stated too noisy, but we experienced a quiet dinner! Highly recommend!

    Only complaint was the server (and others we could hear beside us) didn't explain what cobia fish was. Many don't know so it would have been good if they would explain .....otherwise awesome!
