Absolutely loved my meal here! The shrimp pasta was incredible—rich in flavor and generously portioned. The staff was friendly and helped me choose a drink that paired perfectly with my meal. I would have loved to see more vegetarian options on the menu, but the seafood was so good that I didn’t mind much. All in all, I can’t wait to return. Highly recommend this place for any seafood enthusiast!

From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with a warm atmosphere that felt like home. The decor is charming, with seaside vibes that make you forget you’re in Orangeburg. We started with the fried oysters, which were crispy and delicious, and the main event was the seafood boil—amazing! It came with a variety of shellfish, potatoes, and corn, all bursting with flavor. Our server was knowledgeable and offered great recommendations. The only thing I would suggest is to have a few more dessert options on the menu. Overall, a fantastic experience that I highly recommend!

I had a great experience at this restaurant! The crab cakes were possibly the best I've ever had—so much flavor and they were nice and crispy on the outside. The atmosphere was friendly, perfect for families or a casual dinner with friends. The only downside was that it felt a little cramped during dinner rush, and we had to wait a bit longer than expected for our food. Still, the wait was worth it! I’ll definitely be returning for more of those crab cakes.

What a delightful spot for seafood lovers! I visited with my family last weekend, and we were all impressed. The menu offered an exciting variety of dishes, but we couldn't resist trying the signature seafood platter. It was loaded with shrimp, crab, and some amazing scallops. Each item was cooked to perfection. The service was top-notch; our server was attentive without being overbearing, which made for a lovely dining experience. My only feedback would be to improve the parking situation—it was a bit tricky finding a spot. Regardless, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone craving fresh seafood!

I recently dined at this gem, and I must say, the seafood was incredible! I ordered the crab legs, and they were perfectly seasoned and so fresh. The atmosphere was lively yet cozy, making it a great spot for a casual night out. My only minor issue was that the service was a bit slow during peak hours, but the staff was friendly and attentive overall. I can’t wait to go back and try their shrimp next time!
