Location is nice but I was very dissapointed in the setting and the portion of food served for the price. I got the seafood platter which included 3 shrimp, 3 oysters, 2 scallops, slaw (which was the biggest portion) and a palm size piece of fish for $20. The food was like any other fried seafood location I have eaten at in the area. The service was good when we arrived for the first 15 minutes and then the waitress got a big table and we hardly saw her again after that. My wife and I went there for our anniversary expecting a romantic setting from reading the reviews and it was nothing much more than maybe one step above the Dockside in Wrightsville Beach. The chairs were not comfortable. They were like a metal patio chair with a very low back and tables had cheap plastic table covering. The mens bathroom sink had a stopped up drain and the sink was full with water all over the floor. This was on a Saturday evening so you would think they would try to clean that up before the crowd arrived. This restaurant is no where near the quality of food, service and atmosphere that you would get at Ruth's Chris Steak House. I do not think we will be visiting there again in the near future.
Pros: On the river
Cons: Parking, especially on the weekends.
