The food was amazing. Prices were reasonable given the quality of food. A lot of fish options, not a lot of options for non shell fish and non pork eaters, other than fish. The risotto was super creamy and the ravioli was perfectly cooked. ...

We had a very nice dinner here. The potato mushroom soup was delicious. The shrimp and grits were good. Our reservation was at 830. We had an appetizer, but didnt get our meals until almost 10. I would suggest making your reservation several days ahead of time as this is a very popular restaurant in Cashiers.
