We and our guests got dressed up only to find the restaurant abandoned, except for a guy with a leaf blower. No notification at all. Complete OpenTable failure!

Our waiter was busy but he never came over to refill coffee or ask if we need anything for over 15minutes. We were unable to make eye contact with any server to get refills. Our food was cold when it came out. It would’ve been really good but not being cold. I would assume it was setting for a while in the back waiting to be brought out.

We enjoyed our meal very much -- love that you offer Sunday Brunch! We also appreciated the service Robin provided for us. The other thing I really like is the water carafe! It was good of Chef Barry to chat with us. I have told everyone about Blue Crab and Purple Pig and they are wanting to visit. Best wishes for your expansion on the patio; it sounds wonderful. God bless you in your efforts and grant you much success. We don't want you to leave the area! Many thanks, Sylvia Marcin

Overall, the food was good. Some of the items that we were looking forward to trying were not available, of course that can be a good thing but it was also a Friday night at 6pm so it was also disappointing.

Food was outstanding and service was great. Simple menu but great flavors and excellent presentation. Don’t let the construction dissuade you. They are building a great restaurant. Absolutely worth checking out. I went back twice on a business trip.
