    We dined on a Monday for our anniversary. We received friendly excellent service throughout the meal. The fried oyster appetizer was superb, the roasted beef salad was delectable. The halibut was perfectly cooked with a crust and flaky and tender and moist interior. The mustard greens were paired on the plate with the fish. Despite an unusual side these were some of the best that I’ve had outside of Alabama and worked perfectly with the delicate flavors of the fish. With dessert and wine our tab was $124 before tips
