    My husband and I were in town briefly and decided to eat here on a whim. Very happy we did. Beautiful, laid-back restaurant and very kind staff. Food was excellent from appetizer to entrees. We will definitely eat here again when we are back in town!

    Cozy and home-like upscale restaurant in a former auto service station. Offers quality lunch and dinner with the friendliest of staff. My weekly lunch choice is the half salad/half sandwich. The chicken salad is the best I have ever eaten. The salads are made with fresh produce every time. My dinner choice is always the 'cooked to perfection' ribeye, served with potatoes, vegetables, salad and dinner rolls. I hear the crab cakes are the best around, but I haven't personally tried them. A variety of desserts are offered. My favorite is the chocolate chess pie. It's like an ooey-gooey warm brownie on a pie crust. So good. Wines, cocktails and spirits are also available. Third Bay is a must. Reservations are highly recommended.

    Really enjoyed my sandwich. Staff was friendly. Bathrooms were very today but I didn't notice a changing table for babies/toddlers.

    Went for my bday and a co-worker's bday lunch with my unit. The food was great as always. I love the burger and chocolate chess pie. The place was my choice.

    Awesome little spot. Vegetarian options were limited, so they let me design my own! I turned the grilled pimento into a ruben, and it was quite good! I do wish they had fries rather than bagged chips. The salad was delightful as well!
