Reviews
The menu leans more toward seafood than your average pub. The redfish was outstanding and easily the highlight of the meal. The burger was also well-portioned and cooked exactly as requested. We started with the fried pickles, which had good flavor and a nice dipping sauce, but the preparation was inconsistent. Several pieces were cut vertically along the skin, resulting in a rubbery texture that was difficult to eat.
Our server, Sean, provided great service and was very friendly. One minor hurdle was that neither he nor the menu could specify the preparation methods for some dishes—whether the fish was grilled, fried, or broiled, for example.
Overall, it’s a good choice for a relaxed, lively dinner.
The ambiance was nice, it was a tight restaurant with tables seated close to eachother. There is bar seating and oyster bar seating available too. The reataurant is a lot bigger on the inside than one would expect. I would highly recommend making reservations ahead of time, because even with reservations there was at least a 20 minute wait for our table.
Service: Our server was good, he gave good recommendations for our meal and brought food out promptly.
Food: now this is where the money is. We started off with the jalapeno cornbread. It was brought out in a cast iron pan with whipped butter and honey shaped to look like a fried egg. You could really taste the corn and jalapeno peices coming through, and if you’re someone who likes crusty edge peices, theres a good crust on them. The donkey kick – a shaken espresso with earl gray infused cream was delicious. It was like a dirty london fog. The shrimp & grits – this is a MUST HAVE. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, the grits were perfectly cheesy, and the sauce was flavored beautifully. I would come back here just for this dish. The tavern benny was tasty, but on the heavier side with a lot of sausage (a patty and in the gravy) served on dry biscuit. The fish & chips were also really good – the fish was so soft and fell apart in your mouth with a very crisp fried batter. The fries are thick cut, which went well with the sauces. This dish is a bit on the oily side.
It was pretty busy but the decor was very chic and created a great atmosphere. We ordered the oysters, a delicious salad, and fries. Everything was fantastic. We were too full to try dessert, but that just gives us a reason to come back.
Parking was easy in a garage a block away. Definitely recommend!
Busy place 6pm Wednesday night. They had no tables so I opted for the, I guess you could call middle height bar.
Waiter was friendly, got my order but I never saw him again until he took my card to pay which alright maybe he had other tables I’m always an easy guest, but never came and got my empty dish or filled up water.
First dish was good, nice tuna dish.
Second dish was below average. Chicken was dry. It said roasted potatoes on the menu came with it, upon arrival there were only 4 on the plate. Maybe I just ordered the wrong dish.
Waiter asked how dinner was, but he seemed he couldn’t care less that I told him the dish was below average.
No one greeted me on the way out. I’m not here to tarnish a reputation, I just keep these for my own personal.
Maybe I sat at the wrong seat, maybe the guy had other tables, I most likely ordered the wrong dish. But my experience wasn’t 4.8/5.
2.5 / 5.0
