“ Nicely decorated on the inside. Didn't have to wait at all during lunch on a Saturday. Amazing cocktails. We got the mahi mahi and the Cajun pasta, both so delicious. Portions were large enough for leftovers. ”
“ The Spinach Salad with chicken is one of my favorites. The Vidalia dressing is perfect. If you're a true crab cake fan, theirs are at the top of our list! All jumbo lump and authentic. The jalapeno creamed corn is a perfect pairing. We also love many of the entrees and pizzas. Just tune into what flavors are calling you and pick one. ”

“ Was visiting from out of town and chose a place at random to try - ended up here and I am so happy I did! Got pizza and a cup of their Maryland Crab Soup... Wish I had gotten more than just a cup of the soup now because it was fantastic! People were extremely friendly, service was quick, food is yummy... What more could you ask for? Will come back when in town again. :-) ”
“ Came here for dinner last night with friends. Plenty of room. I believe there are more tables upstairs but did not need to explore since it wasn't overcrowded. The service was great as well as the food and drinks. Went with bunch of winos so they did some damage. A friend had the espresso martini so I gave it a try. It's been about 30 years since I had some Kahlua Liqueur but that's what it reminded me of. Great food, great atmosphere. Not much else to ask for when dining. Looking at some of the older reviews from last year, most patrons did not like the Panera cafeteria style the restaurant implemented. Not sure if it was just the COVID accommodations adjustment at the time but everyone can be rest assured that the regular restaurant style table service is back. ”
