Great first time experience. It had a cozy feel to it. We went there during the brunch hours and there was live, light music playing. The food was really good and tasted fresh. The service was exceptional even though we sat at the bar area. I would recommend making reservations prior to visiting though.

Four of us had dinner - seafood pot pie, chicken marsala, braised short ribs, and scallops. Fried green tomato appetizer, and roasted Brussels sprouts. Everything was DELICIOUS!! A new simplified menu. Service from Anastasia was top notch. We'll happily be back for more!

Could be one of the best local cocktail bars around. The bartender was very knowledgeable and knew how to make the perfect drink of choice. Food has always been on point. Reservations are highly recommended but first come first serve at the bar

The food was tasty from the lollipop lamb chops to the artichoke hearts. The scallops had a nice blackened outer and brussel sprouts had a great balsamic vinegar glaze. We will be back.

We had a large group of lots of requests with everything and anything. David was our server and he was beyond outstanding with his patience, accommodation, friendliness and overall service. There were multiple allergy requests that were all taken care of which is very reassuring for those with anaphylactic allergies. The food was fresh and delicious.This is our second time here and we will definitely be back for sure next time we are in town. David is a true asset to this business.Thanks again.

One of thebgems of Southport! The best food. To be certain, the best bartender around for sure, and the ni est folks you'd ever meet. Always good food, and even in the movies too!! Safe Haven. It's just all around a fantastic atmosphere, service (the workers and owner) and location.

Absolutely amazing food all homemade and fresh caught. Unfortunately they were out of oysters and cod when we were there, but they still had cod fritters. Lunch menu was extensive and delicious and food came out quickly.

Super cute spot! We got in and seated quickly, staff was very nice. Our server Olivia was incredible. Great food (amazing veggie options). We got black bean and corn empanadas plus fried green tomato (and shrimp) as appetizers. They were super accommodating for me being vegetarian and separated everything. I got the vegan masala dish with chickpeas, lots of veggies, and jasmine rice. I was so impressed. Really loved it here! Thank you!
