    Food seasoned to perfection! Ambience is fantastic. Please please notate the “Gluten Free” options clearly on the menu and train your servers and cooks on this topic. For Celiac disease persons , Gluten Free is A Must Have, not a fad. Consider an option to fry the fish, seafood or chicken in a separate dedicated fryer using Gluten Free FLOUR “ with advance notification of this special request 🤔. This would elevate Southern Kitchen to the top of restaurant choices.

    We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday/Christmas here. It was a first visit for us all. The food was exemplary, the ambiance was perfect, and the attention to details were superior. We had custom menus with Happy 50th Birthday Todd printed at the top, and dessert came out with Happy Birthday written beautifully in chocolate with a candle. I wish I could remember our server's name, but she was wonderful and patient with our party. My one critique is the garnishes were more for looks than eating, while the meat/main entree was great, but that could just be personal taste. Overall a wonderful experience and my husband had a perfect birthday.

    Private Party event in the lobby, made it very crowded and loud. The inside of the restaurant was quieter. Service was good, a little slow with the dinner rush and crowd. But very friendly. Lobster roll was delish, lots of lobster meat. However lost points for the butternut squash fettuccine. It was bland, no taste, dry, not enough sauce for the noodles. Do not recommend. We loved the crab dip for appetizer and the lobster roll. Ambiance was full of holiday magic!

    Service was great. Loved the "porch" area. I was disappointed that the breakfast potatoes weren't gluten free. They are listed as such on the menu, but they are fried in a shared fryer, so they are not gluten free. I ordered the grits instead, which tasted really weird. I couldn't pinpoint the spice they used. Just stick with salt and butter.
