“ Our favorite!! We dine each night here when vacationing. The servers are fantastic. The Calamari wasn't that great. Listening, but more importantly, comprehending the customer should be paramount. I understand the original owners sold out. All too often, that means the new owners, a conglomeration might lose focus. ”
“ This was by far one of the most pleasant places my husband and I have ever been too! We came here tonight for our one year anniversary and the food was absolutely phenomenal, Dorothy took amazing care of us and was so polite. The drinks were amazing and the overall atmosphere was fantastic. 10/10 Will definitely be returning!!! ”
“ Awesome spot to eat with friends at the beach. The professional staff made us feel like family right away. Fresh bread and appetizers came out quickly. Oysters were delicious! Generous entree portions. Only regret was not ordering the calamari... Next time! ”

“ Top quality food, beautifully prepared and eye pleasing as well. An intimate and quiet upscale restaurant with exemplary service, showcasing the very best of low country fare. Perfect for quiet conversation while enjoying an excellent meal. We each chose a different entree and all were top notch. Brittany, our server was welcoming and knowledgeable and made sure all was well for us! Thank you L.I.C.! ”
“ This was an excellent experience! We had the crab cakes, broiled shrimp, and a dozen NC oysters. They were all delicious! I highly recommend this place for a special occasion. It is pricey, but we didn't feel that it was not worth it. #seafoodlover #foodie #nomnom ”
“ I’ve eaten here a few times and it’s been great each time. Amazing seafood! The Parmesan encrusted salmon and white cheddar grits are especially tasty. Update: visited again last night and got the crab encrusted grouper. It was tasty. But, I kept thinking about the salmon. Just get the salmon. You won’t regret it. Also, make a reservation... they stay very busy. The restaurant is pretty loud and seating is very close together. This usually bothers me... but, the food is so good and the service is so attentive, that it’s worth dealing with the noise and people in my personal space. ”
“ I made reservations here to celebrate a family members birthday. We were a party of 8. We were seated promptly by the friendly staff member. We ordered 4 kid's meals, they messed up one, caught it before they even served it to us, and corrected it. Other orders included the red fish special, crab encrusted grouper, shrimp salad, and the trio of fish, scallops, and shrimp. All were delicious. For dessert we ordered the mud pie and peanut butter ice cream pie. Amazing! We were split at the table on which dessert was best. Service was attentive, friendly, and quick. The place was packed by the time we left. Noise level was high with so many people talking, an older crowd however the kid's in our group loved it. ”
