    Wonderful food! The crab omelet with the fennel and butter lettuce salad was amazing. The fried oysters were also excellent.

    I had made a reservation and we were seated and brought water and some amazing hush puppies very quickly. Then we waited 10 minutes for a server and no luck. Our waters were refilled by another server and I asked if she knew who who our server was. She said she didn't but then said she'd help us. We think our server realized our table mid meal and came over to see if she could clear some plates and if we needed anything else. Food was great! Service was a little lackluster for the quality of restaurant it is.

    Tried the fried oysters appetizer--one order is enough for two. The swordfish with butter-garlic sauce was delicious. The lobster roll was also good--light on the mayo and lots of tender meat. Wonderful meal. Server Gabby was a delight.
