Prime Rib French Dip
Amazing French Dip Sandwich; The shaved prime rib was great, the bun was perfect, lightweight and fresh, and the au ju w/ the separate horseradish was just right. Sitting outside at the bar with the full Harvest Moon in our site--rising over the sparkling marina added to the experience. Thank you Islander71 .

Flounder Sandwich
Absolutely incredible flounder sandwich! The fish was perfectly cooked, tender and flaky on the inside with a delicious golden, crispy exterior. Every bite was packed with fresh coastal flavor, and the sandwich was easily one of the best I've had on the island. Islander 71 absolutely nailed it! Between the fantastic food, waterfront atmosphere, and laid-back Lowcountry charm, this place is a must-visit. I'll be coming back for that flounder sandwich again and again!

Baked Lobster Pie
I had the baked lobster pie. It was loaded with lobster, I don't think they could have fit any more in if they tried. It tasted amazing & while the lobster was cooked to perfection, moist & tender I do feel like it could have used more of the sauce, but I do like things more on the saucy side in general. Over all it was very delicious & I would absolutely order it again.
