We visited last Thursday and were pleasantly surprised. They are having some organizational problems which is understandable for a new restaurant but the owners, Richard and Linda were charming as was our server Savannah. The biggest surprise was the food. We both had the garlic shrimp over angel hair pasta and it was delicious. It was the best I have had ever and that includes some of the finest Italian restaurants in New York and Chicago. I'm looking forward to visiting again soon.

Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE pizza! The Carolina Palms crust is amazing! Thin and crisp on the bottom, this one is topped with spinach Feta and tomatoes. So delicious! Reheat later was awesome too! Definitely a new go to for me!

I loved this place Richard was so down to Earth with us. He made us feel like family... Then we found out that he came from western NY like we did. The food was amazing. We all ... My husband, my daughter and her boyfriend my granddaughter were very impressed. Can't wait to go back. Price: was between $10-25 so worth it .. I hope for the best for this place to continue they are also hiring for more servers. They have karaoke on Friday's and live music on Saturday.. The seating was very comfortable very roomy as well all in all in all the experience was awesome!!! Keep up the good work guys I wish the best for your future hope to go back soon I will update as soon as I go back and try their buffalo wings from Buffalo. I had their beef on wick roll. The rolls are homemade fresh. they were very soft and beautifully done. The next time I will have to take pictures. But on Google maps they have pictures of there food and also their business. Lots of parking however for handicap they do have handicap parking but I did not find a ramp into the building there may have been one but I did not see it. Also it is like a resort thanks Richard and staff for making us feel like family..

Stopped in for a quick drink and appetizers with friends. The atmosphere was great and the hospitality wasn’t lacking either as the owners talked with us. Tried the original recipe Crab Rangoons and they were delicious! Look forward to having dinner there and checking out live music!

Wow, just wow. After seeing the new menu Carlos and I had to give it a try. We went last Wednesday and splurged a little. We first tried the fried calamari. All I can say is perfection. Then we had the salmon dinner, scallop dinner, and the stuffed filet mignon dinner. Every thing was cooked to perfection. It blew my mind. I hadn't had great tasting food like this since I lived on Hilton Head Island. Everything was so delicious we had to go back again last night. This time I ordered the sea bass. It had a blackened salty taste, which thats what blackened is, and I'm not a fan of blackened, but wow, it was so freaking good, and the sides complimented the blackened to a T. Carlos had the shrimp Alfredo i believe and he enjoyed it. Kudos to the chef, along with the awesome owners Richard and Linda. Thank you all. Ive found my spot. Every single bite I took I was going mmmm this is so good! And i mean goooood! Ok.
