"My family and I visited this restaurant today as part of a celebration for my niece’s birthday. We made reservations as there were 11 people in our group. We arrived right on time for our 2:30 PM reservations. The restaurant was fairly empty so we didn’t have a long wait time. We waited about 5 minutes for them to prepare the area before we could be seated. The atmosphere was welcoming. I love the vintage look and feel of the restaurant. I was also tickled by the label on the restroom door that said WC meaning Water Closet; this was reminiscent of the 1900s. The bathroom area was clean and had a vintage look as well. Our server was professional and friendly. He was also patient as we waited for the birthday girl to arrive. We ordered appetizers and main dishes. The Crawfish Hush Puppies were good but tastes much better when eaten with the charred scallions and Steen's butter. The Smoked Fish Dip, Carolina Calabash fried fish plate, and the Carolina Calabash fried shrimp and oyster combo are really good! Although the fries were a tad salty, those were my favorite dishes. One huge disappointment is the way they manage the bill for large groups. Our server didn’t ask how the bill was to be handled at the beginning of taking our order, so we naturally assumed that we would be able to split the bill when the time came. When it was time to pay the bill, we found out that they do not separate the bill. Regardless of how many people in your party, they only bring you one bill, and they make you calculate your portion including correct amount of taxes by yourself. Each person then presents their credit card to the server with specific instructions on how much money is to be taken out of that person‘s credit card. Never have I experienced that anywhere. That was such a huge inconvenience! For this reason, I lowered my rating to 3 stars."
