I had trout, and while the fish was fine, the tomato based sauce and spinich were not compatible with the fish. The hush puppies were mostly breading, very little corn meal. The key lime pie was a disappointment.

We had a mini-family reunion here, and they were super about arranging seating for our group! The food was, always, delicious, and the service excellent. It was decidedly warm inside - you don't expect to need air conditioning in January even in North Carolina - but they were quick to turn on the AC and get everyone comfortable.
