    It is our go to restaurant for Christmas Eve. Jody did a great job. We had the special feast of the seven fishes. It was a lot of food and done well. I am Sicilian and my grandparents made the feast of the seven fishes every Christmas Eve. It was our family tradition. We have come for the last 3 years since we moved to Bluffton.

    We brought friends that missed out last Christmas when we brought a large group. They LOVED everything, as did we. It always feels like a meal cooked with love and attention. Giovanni, our waiter, was spot on all night and truly spoiled us. From the minute we were greeted as we walked in to sadly when we had to leave everything was impeccable. I’m thinking this is becoming an Annual tradition for us. 🥰
