    I couldn’t even give it a one rating. The place was awful. We had a reservation at 7:15 PM we were a party of seven. The inside didn’t look like they had many people. We sat down. All of the AC vents were leaking water all over the bench seats that they sat us at. When we asked the waitress, she said nothing. We still sat there because we had a reservation and we wanted to enjoy dinner. We ordered drinks immediately upon sitting down and our appetizers and the kids meals. we sat there for 45 minutes before we got a drink and water. The drink came lukewarm. It was a martini it was awful.  we ordered drinks immediately upon sitting down and our appetizers and the kids meals. we waited over another 45 minutes. They lost our food order. And told us that it would be another hour before we would get food. When we asked to see the manager, our waitress never showed up again. And told us we were rude. We asked again to see the manager. She came storming out of the back room. Horribly unprofessional. We were angry. There is no doubt. But instead of accepting the fact that their restaurant failed on an enormous level, she screamed and acted like complete trash. She told us to get out and just leave. Just leave. Just leave. The place was run by a very young crew that was definitely not led by a decent manager and did not have any idea what they were doing. But after seeing the manager, that is why the restaurant is run so poorly I wouldn’t waste my time walking in. It’s sad.  after spending 30 years coming to Myrtle Beach, this is the first experience I have ever had like this at any restaurant. I would never recommend this restaurant.

    Waitress was sporadic at best. Had to wait at least 15 minutes for check. Food was ok but not great. Corn was terrible. I expected better

    This was a recommendation. My friend who was visiting wanted raw oysters. She said they were fabulous. She also had clam chowder and said it was good. I had shrimp cocktail - wonderful, and my husband had crab cakes - very good. Prices were reasonable. The fish and chips were probably the best I’ve had. The live music was great - not overly loud. Several boats went by and that was a nice touch. We will be back.

    Food was not bad but our waitress didn’t come back to check on us after taking our order. We had to glad her over for more water refills and drinks. Had to find her to pay our bill and it was 5 adults and two kids, so of course gratuity was automatically included and she definitely did not deserve the amount that was automatically included. The restaurant was not overly crowded either.

    Friendly server. Food was ok. Reminded me of a chain (Applebees, Olive Garden). The grouper bites were tiny scraps. Grilled shrimp was good. Corn on the cob was heavy and soggy. Prices were very reasonable.
