Just now getting around to leaving a review from a month ago. My wife and I had dinner here three times during our week long vacation. That will tell you how much we like the place. Excellent food and friendly owners and wait staff.

Well Hurricane Florence...the highlight of our 24 hour vacation was eating here with friends before our mandatory evacuation. As always our meal was delicious and our server was great. Can't wait to return.
