Made for a great date for my wife and I. A good place to go out and enjoy good food. Can't go wrong with hush puppies for appetizer and the key lime pie was the best we've had. Wife got fried oysters and I went with crab cakes. Delicious and the ship wreck mixed drinks were enjoyable. For special dining it's superb.

First time there. Beautiful old restaurant. Walked over to the formal dining room, beautiful. They have a great bar and a casual eating area and outside dining. Food was very good.
