    Lovely luncheon overlooking the May River estuary with canoeists and paddle boats drifting by but I cannot ignore the delicious food with a special nod to the Cobb Salad. Bountiful and delicious and our servers recommendations and attention were spot on. Thank you for a delicious afternoon.

    The waiter was awful. He pushed our table and started talking to assist if we were supposed to be friends with him, asking personal questions and telling us way too much about his own life. Then he didn’t take our food order for over 45 minutes. He spilled the cocktail when he brought it to the table on the floor, and didn’t want to get a new one, despite the fact that it cost $22! The food was good, but the portions were small. The dining room area is very sterile and tables are set up in two rows. Would’ve preferred to sit in the bar area, but they had a piano player singing too loudly and we couldn’t have any conversation.

    Knew it would be pricey but $26.00 cocktails were a surprise. Had a good time though.
