Excellent experience! Amy our bartender, and later waitress, did an excellent job of making us feel welcomed, and cared for. I am pretty sure, we have randomly found (thanks Google maps đ) our new favorite Italian restaurant in the entire low country! The atmosphere is on point! And the vibe is subdued. You simply MUST try the stuffed banana peppers (appetizer) ! I lost count of how many times I said to my wife "oh my God " they ARE that good! 11/10. Will definitely come again! Most highly recommend!

Incredible atmosphere- very romantic and warm- we went on a chilly night and sat outdoor seating- very warm with heaters and fire. The food was incredible and delicious, plenty of seafood and âlandâ dishes to chose from, the service was impeccable. Gets busy quick- next time we will do a reservation (we didnât this time we didnât wait but we got there right when they opened at 5)

This is an incredible gem hidden in plain sight. Everything about this place felt thought out, the inside sleek and the outside a garden paradise.
Our server, Joe, was great and the food was wonderful! Finally, a place that does sautĂ©ed calamari and does it right! The scallops were cooked to perfection. The cucumber cocktail was very well made. This is one place you donât want to miss out on.
One word of caution though: the portions are generous! Appetizers are more like for a party of four and we were only two, so we ended up only eating about a fourth of our meals after soup and salad and

My favorite dining experience while at the beach! Loved the French-like atmosphere of the outdoor dining. It was absolutely gorgeous! The best dish we ordered was the special: scallops over ravioli stuffed with blue crab. Yummy! It was rich and the scallops were huge and perfectly cooked. The marinara sauce wasn't the best...it needed to be sweeter. The bread and garlic oil dip was fantastic and our waitress was very good. I definitely recommend dining here!
