Service was slow although one server did an outstanding job of taking care of our party of 19. The food was sub par compared to our visit last year. Steak, while very tender, was flavorless; mashed potatoes were too salty and cold, cornbread was over cooked and dry.

My wife and I were out driving around while visiting Surfside Beach and found this restaurant. It was in between the rush hours so it was not busy. The atmosphere was great, our waiter was very friendly and answered any questions we had about the food and was very knowledgeable. We had non seafood items and they were very great! We will stop again the next time we down.

Our server, Alena, was magnificent! She was so attentive. The food was delicious. I had the Mardi Gras pasta that Alena recommended and it was so amazing! I am not from this area but if I ever come back, I’ll definitely eat here again.
