Great place with a great price for being next to the river with a riverside view. The service was amazing, our waitress took such good care of us and the food did not take too long to come out. The food itself was amazing, definitely recommend the catfish dish. Everything tasted super fresh. For dessert, the chocolate liquor was also an amazing finish to a meal and I would recommend the chocolate torte

We had a truly wonderful dining experience at Vic’s on the River! From start to finish, the service was impeccable. Our server, LJ, was outstanding—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. The other staff who helped throughout the lunch were equally friendly and professional, making the whole experience feel seamless and special. The food was phenomenal—especially the shrimp and grits, which were rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, and the fried green tomatoes, which were crispy and bursting with Southern charm. To top it off, they surprised us with a lovely special chocolate treat for our anniversary, which was such a thoughtful touch. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebration and can’t wait to return next time we’re in Savannah!

Went on a very busy night, they got us seated right away. The service was friendly. The views are amazing from the second floor. All the dishes were great BUT if you have to choose between Vic on the river vs down stair Vic’s on the grill the food is a step above on the grill. The RIVER restaurant has more of an upscale feel. Salmon was good and more pricy than down stair where the Salmon at the grill even had crab on top. Over all great restaurant you Will not regret eating here.

Our server was absolutely amazing! I went for my birthday and got the best service and amazing food! The salmon is an absolute must try and the sirloin burger is huge and delicious! The complimentary biscuits and honey butter are so delicious. I got a free chocolate torte for my birthday and it was so rich and smooth. I would definitely recommend coming here for any special occasions! Just a heads up that parties over 6 have an automatic 20% gratuity added.

This place is great The atmosphere is super nice and relaxing, with a beautiful view of the Savannah River. The staff were really friendly, and the food prices are pretty reasonable. We tried a bunch of appetizers, she crab soup, calamari, beef carpaccio, and spicy shrimp and everything was spot on. I had the short rib, which was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Definitely recommend this spot for a date, a business meal, or just any occasion. I’ll come back for more later

The best thing about eating here was being able to dine outside enjoying the beautiful Savannah River views and people watching. It was odd that the waitress asked for our credit card before we could even order, it felt odd and uncomfortable. I suppose that some establishments feel the need to do this these days? We’ve eaten meals all over Savannah and this is the only establishment that has done this . However, the other staff who delivered our food were *all very nice and efficient. The wait for our food was not too long. Our food was served hot yet just not as good as we had hoped for. It’s expensive and for the price, we had hoped for better everything. It wasn’t bad, it simply wasn’t worth the expense. Serving sizes are smaller portions. The fried green tomatoes appetizer was delicious and my favorite. We were served two very very tiny biscuits and butter. Our salads were okay yet by far *not the best that we have had in Savannah . The vinaigrette is too salty and way too vinegary, masking the flavors. The pasta dish was a bit on the salty side. I would not order it again and being a vegetarian, there are not many options there. My husband had seafood and it was fresh and okay. Some may enjoy it, yet it simply was *not worth the price for us.

Vic’s On the River – Savannah, GA Vic’s On the River nails the atmosphere—elegant, welcoming, and perfectly positioned along the Savannah River. It’s the kind of place that feels special from the moment you walk in, with riverside views that add something extra to the experience. Whether you’re watching boats pass or simply enjoying the people-watching, the setting delivers. The food held its own as well. We especially loved the oysters—fresh, flavorful, and a clear standout. The entire meal was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully plated, with attention to both taste and presentation. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, offering helpful suggestions based on what was freshest that day. This is the kind of restaurant that works equally well for a romantic dinner or a memorable family outing. We’re from New York, but if we lived closer, this would be a regular spot.

My wife and kids went to lunch here while walking down by the river. It was a nice quite location. The service was great it served was on top of everything. The pancakes are HUGE the crab cake Benedict was very delicious and the brunch Burger the egg is very sunny side up, might want to tell them over medium it was a tad too runny. But everything was good portions were great

Came here every night I was in Savannah for dinner. The second those award winning biscuits went in my mouth, I knew I was not going to find anything better. And that SWEET TEA, goodness. I'm a visitor from California and I found just what I came for - DELICIOUS southern food. Thank you to Javetta - my waitress tonight - who was so gracious and generous with me. The vibe is cool, classy and romantic. Perfect for a date with a loved one or a solo dinner like mine. Truly this place made my trip. Thank you.

Very clean quaint atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The shrimp cocktail was fresh and tasty. We ordered off the kids menu for our Granddaughter and the filet' for us. The Granddaughters order came out long before our mains which was strange. When ours arrived it was a bit cool. It was cooked well. We thought being served with fries was a bit short. At $48.00 you would think a salad and a better choice with a baked potato and vegetable would be made. Some might say you should have sent it back, I don't. We may try this restaurant again but will try other establishments during our stay here.

Vic's On the River is one of those places where the setting alone makes you feel fancier than you actually are. We got seated upstairs overlooking the water, and honestly, they could've handed me a grilled cheese and I still would've been impressed. Watching the boats float by with a drink in hand has a way of convincing you that life is going pretty well. Luckily, the food keeps pace with the view. The ribeye came out juicy and cooked exactly how I asked.. not "we'll call this medium rare if you squint," but actually medium rare. The mac and cheese was gooey in all the right ways, the kind that stretches off your fork like it's auditioning for a pizza commercial. And the cornbread? Sweet enough that it could almost count as dessert if you weren't already saving room for pie. Speaking of dessert, the pecan pie was the real closer. Sticky, rich, and so good I considered ordering a second slice just to eat secretly in the car on the way home. Yes, it's a little touristy, and yes, the prices reflect the fact that you're dining with a river view. But if you want a classic Savannah night out with comfort food that actually delivers, Vic's is the move.

During a Conference in Savannah, had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant for dinner. Wonderful ambiance, food, drinks and decor. The food was truly delicious, honestly best meatloaf I have eaten in a long time!

We had a special dinner last night. The restaurant is sophisticated without being off-putting. White tablecloths, well trained, professional servers, and wonderful food! The hard wood floors and high open ceilings did make it a bit loud as they were busy, but it added to the open, airy atmosphere. I had the Jumbo Lump Crabcake which was amazing - LOTS of crab meat! My husband had the Po'Boy Flounder Sandwich and really enjoyed it. We split the Poached Pear Salad and it was exceptional. Our server did a great job doing the splitting of the salad and she took a picture for us.

Vic's on the River was one of my favorite meals in Savannah. The location offers beautiful views of the river and the restaurant itself is a beautifully restored historic building. For starters we had refreshing craft cocktails and for my main course I had the shrimp and grits which was amazing. It was literally melt in your mouth, scrape the bowl flavorful from the perfectly cooked shrimp and grits to the delicious sauce that was spot on. To top it off the service was great completing a pretty perfect dining experience.

Unfortunately, our experience here was disappointing. Firstly, we were sat at a small table that was not meant for 4 adults + baby. It was crowded and uncomfortable for everyone. We ordered drinks and 2 apps and barely had space on the table. Secondly, the apps were no good and missing any flavor whatsoever. Lastly, our experience was cut short when our server completely ignored us after we told her the apps were no good. We felt like red headed step children and that our business wasn't wanted or needed. It was the most awkward dining experience I've encountered.

July 8, 2025 - Two for dinner, we were staying out by 75 and visiting the Botanical Gardens travelling South to our FL home. Not a ding on the review, but FYI. Parking sucks, and you can't even put in enough time to stroll the riverfront and see the sights and spend a few hundred on things and a meal? Looks like a ticketing trap by the City? Disappointing. So was the riverfront too industrial. I had to ****run*** back to the car as I had slipped over the time limit by a few minutes and expected a $150 ticket or maybe a $300 tow job. (sadly this has happened other places - Sarasota City and Port Jefferson/Long Island as just two examples) NOT tourist or consumer friendly! Loved the restaurant. Tax, tags, and tip we had a great meal with drinks for about $55 per person. Wife drank 2 Blueberry Lemon Drops - she claimed awesome! $12 per. I got a Ginger beer something mocktail for $10. Tasty 8/10 She got a whole whipped goat cheese and strawberry salad that was VERY fresh and had high variety of vegetables and greens. $24. Nicely done. 8/10 I went with the Whole artisanal Mixed Greens $13 and threw a jumbo lump crab cake on there + $18 - so a $31 match up. The salad was awesome and really good and fresh. 10/10 the jumbo crabcake was just okay, not bad or mayo laden or breaded out, but a little stewy and wet and obviously a bit of filler and at $18 too expensive for a future consideration. 5/10 Service was AWSOME and attentive and pleasant by PM B on the receipt. VERY fantastic - never wanting and never needing anything. HATE HATE HATE the at table credit card Walmart self checkout system, just saying.

Stopped in mid day for some much needed air conditioning break from walking around Savannah in summertime. We were so pleasantly surprised by the biscuits! They brought them with butter as the bread basket. They were soooo good! Fluffy, soft, savory delicious! We tried the BLT with fried green tomatoes and the she crab soup. The soup was so tasty! My first time trying this southern specialty. It is like a crab bisque but with a pimento cheesy flavor. The BLT was also fantastic, but the fried green tomatoes were a bit much so we too them out of the sandwich and ate them separately...and they were perfectly crispy. So good. The portions were generous. A great rest stop for us to get out of the heat and enjoy lovely service. The server was so eager to tell us about the many great things about Savannah. Lovely experience.

Had dinner for 2 at Vic's. Got there about 10 minutes before our reservation time and there were plenty of open tables but they had us wait. Tried the amazing fried green tomato appetizer as well as the seared tuna (average). Had the peach martini - it was tasty but it was warm when it arrived so I dropped some of my ice in. Had the sea bass special (delicious) and the salmon (average). The wines were hiked up a little more in price than I was used to. Service was great and missing at times.

Vic's on the River - Savannah GA Family trip for a night and we dined here for dinner. It came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. Waitress even gave us a spooky story how the building is haunted. For starters we all tried something different; wedge, Cesar, arugula and pear salad and a French onion soup! For dinner I had the filet mignon because it was the closest thing to gluten free. We also had the pork chop, braised short ribs and seared tuna! We all enjoyed our time together and would recommend to others as well.

For inexplicable reason only ladies will understand (& possibly todllers), two gals decided to snack on Leopold's ice cream right before dinner at Vic's. The waiter was so nice to accommodate our smaller appetite by splitting an app and the day's fish special into two plates. It was a lovely perfect meal on our last night of girls gone ice cream wild weekend in Savannah. WE REGRET NOTHING :D

If you go here, you HAVE to get the caramel cheesecake! It was absolutely to die for. Vic's is a beautiful restaurant right on the river with views from every seat. There are multiple floors and the elevator was a little rickety so beware about that. We were there for a pre-wedding friends and family dinner with a set menu. Our waiter was fantastic! She was so personable and down to earth I wish I would have gotten her name. The she crab soup came out first but I couldn't detect any crab meat or crab flavor at all. The Caesar salad was good. My stuffed chicken had a bone in it and unfortunately, the chicken was extremely dry. A couple of people at our table ordered the steak and it came out very rare, just barely kissed on the grill. The caramel cheesecake absolutely stole the show. It was incredibly rich and flavorful and creamy. I could go on. My only regret is not finishing my slice! I would like to go back and order from the full menu at some point.

Finding Vic's on the River was a little tricky--parking near the river in public lots was fine, but the area has multiple similarly named sister restaurants. The elevator appeared to be out of service, so we had to walk up a rocky alley before locating the entrance. Once inside, the hostess initially tried to seat us at a bar high-top despite having reservations, even though the main dining room had plenty of open tables. A confusing start, but thankfully, all of that was forgotten when Javetta, our fantastic waitress, came to the rescue. She promised to take good care of us--and she absolutely did. Drinks were topped off, recommendations were spot-on, and our food arrived promptly. The she-crab soup is rich, buttery, and packed with crab. The fried green tomatoes are life-changing--don't skip them. My pecan-crusted flounder with haricot verts and mashed potatoes was rich, flavorful, and perfectly executed. My sister's crab cakes were also excellent. The flounder po'boys were a miss for us--the fish was fried with the skin on, and the untoasted bread quickly became soggy, though the sides were good. Dessert redeemed everything: the pecan pie is a must. Vic's blends history, charm, and well-appointed décor with excellent food and service. Javetta made the experience memorable, and the menu makes it worth the slightly rocky start.

I enjoyed the jumbo fried shrimp and fries. However, I did not enjoy the catfish, hush puppies, and green beans during my last two visits. Service was average. The ambience is cozy, intimate, and southern. I love overlooking the water while dining. The restaurant is usually crowded, so do not hesitate to book a reservation, if needed. I've dined here several times, and I will definitely return again soon.

Old school Southern establishment that has more than one iteration. There is a coffee shop on the first floor, a couple floors for banquets etc in between, and then on the fourth floor, the street level, there is the restaurant. I had drinks at the bar. The bartenders are super on top of it, never letting a water or cocktail glass run dry. Lots of the southern hospitality. Bar is actually pretty comfortable and the seats aren't too high for short legs like mine. I had the berry basil smash (herradura tequila, agave, strawberries, and basil). Delicious and attractive to boot. Beautiful red drink with a fresh strawberry on top. I also had the summer gin, made with gin, mint simple syrup, lemon juice, and rosemary. Light and refreshing. It was also happy hour, between 4-5 PM! Each drink 50% off so I had both of these great drinks for 7.50 each! What a steal! I unfortunately came too early to try dinner, though I think I'll be back to give it a try. I really had my eye on the fried green tomatoes (goat cheese, tomato chutney, cheddar grits, and balsamic glaze). I'm not a meatloaf fan, but their meatloaf also looks good (onion strap, haricot vert, mashed potatoes, bbq sauce). Failing that, the filet mignon is also a possibility. They have a large southern menu of salads, sandwiches, southern comfort food, and more. I'll be back to try more of what Vic's has to offer.

We came here to celebrate anniversary dinner. Service and food were great. The only disappointment was that a small bottle of Aqua panna water was $6, which seems super steep. Food was good though.

Beautiful restaraunt across from the Savannah river. Ambience is all elegance with white tablecloths and chandeliers. Pet friendly and servers so kind and welcoming. The southern fried chicken was so juicy and crunchy! Yummy. The oyster po boy was very generously filled with fried oysters, pickles, crunchy lettuce and juicy tomatoes with a delicious sauce. Everything was to die for. Highly recommend.

Great view of the river while dining - with a civil war era map on one of the walls found during a renovation. Server was good but food was a little slower. Really good biscuits with honey butter served complimentary Food was good - the fries were tasty but not very hot so may have sat awhile. Overall still a good experience and would recommend.

So dang good. Service was great. Ambiance was nice, not dark or too intimate but very inviting especially with the live pianist. We opted to sit at the bar top. Complimentary buttermilk biscuits & honey butter definitely set the tone for the rest of the evening. Blue crab beignets were great especially with the tartar like sauce it's served with. Also the grilled lemon was a great addition as well. I got the off menu special- parm & mushroom risotto & added on scallops. Some of the best risotto I've had in awhile & HUGE portion. Only knocked off a star because my scallops were very over cooked- I LOVE a hard sear on my scallops which they presented perfectly, it was just a little chewy due to cook time- otherwise 5/5 for this place!!! Bartender was nice, entire party cleared their food. Will definitely be back!

Holy Toledo!!! I can now say that I've had the Best Ever Fried Green Tomatoes... served so politely and nicely by Aubrey. The cornmeal crusted GT's were served on a bed of polenta, with a layer of goat cheese and drizzled with balsamic reduction drizzle. The Great Gal also enjoyed a wonderfully creamy creamed crab soup... as did I .... As well as great biscuits with soft honey butter... Totally great food... Totally great service.... Totally great experience.

We arrived for our reservation and were seated at a table with an obstructed view of the river. My husband called in advance to request a table with a view. When we were seated, the two tables with a view were empty with "reserved" signs. We asked if we could move and were advised the tables were for reservations despite our having had a reservation and arriving before the other customers. The table to our left remained empty until we were about to leave!!!! Poor management handling of our request especially when our reservation was before the other customers arrived. The biscuits with honey butter and the French onion soup to start were amazing. For our entree, hubby ordered the fish special which was sheep'shead with risotto. The fish was a little dry but the flavor was good. I ordered the fried chicken with Mac n cheese and a chili sauce. The chicken was perfect and is a definite reason to visit Vic's. The sweet tea complimented my meal. For dessert, we ordered the pecan pie with vanilla ice cream. Yummy!!

This is the jewel of the Savannah River walk. Amongst all the casual restaurants and menus filled with fried food, Vic's stands apart. Elevated decor, wait staff dressed in black and professional. It was a great first impression. Service: We ordered a bottle of sparkling wine from our waiter, Tyler. He was a good, hard working guy. He seemed to be still learning the craft of a professional server, but he was always well intentioned all evening. Food: we ordered the tuna tartar to share. Fresh fish mixed with crispy veggies and wonton. Dressed with a soy/sesame sauce that was delicious. Great start! For entrees, my wife ordered shrimp and grits. She loved it. Creamy cheesy grits, lots of large shrimp. I had a bite and agreed that this is a 'must order' when dining at this restaurant. I got the ribeye steak special. It was a small bone-in steak, cooked to perfection and seasoned extremely well. Dessert: heck yeah! We shared a cheesecake. Light and satisfying! We really enjoyed Vic's. I recommend this place highly if you're looking for a nicer dining experience than the typical super casual riverfront establishments.

Vic's On the River has been on our list for a while now and we were finally able to grab a reservation. We arrived 15 minutes early and were lucky enough to be seated right away. For an appetizer, we had the crab cake. It was delicious and most likely the best we've ever had. For an entree, I had the mahi which was divine. My partner had the shrimp and grits, which was also delicious. The interior is decorated and styled beautifully. From the outside, it doesn't look as upscale but the inside is gives off semi-fancy vibes. The service was great. Our dishes arrived promptly and our waiter checked on us multiple times. The price was just over $80 for those 3 dishes, so a bit pricey but worth it in our opinion. I would return and recommend that you try it out!

Our server was nice and professional. The restaurant itself was loud.... It was quite busy so almost all tables were filled. The hard floors and high ceilings make for a noisy environment considering there are not a lot of walls to absorb or cut off the carry of voices. The venue is "on the waterfront" but you don't have a clear view of the river since it doesn't sit right on the water. We had a window table and there was not much of a view. So... Don't go expecting an intimate dinner with a view. Unless there are other tables that we didn't see. The menu is pretty typical with a good variety of proteins... Appetizers and Entrees with Southern flare. The food was just ok ... My French onion soup was salty and not very hot....seemed like it had been sitting for a while since the cheese was hard. My fish was dry... Probably because it was overdone. My mom's scallops were tough. The husband's steak was cooked properly and had good taste and texture. For the price, I was expecting better.

Absolutely LOVED the food at this place!!! Staff was really nice! We came at lunchtime and didn't have to wait for a table. We sat outside as well because the weather was nice. I ordered the blueberry lemon drop martini and it was amazing!! Very tasty and worth the money. They gave us complimentary bread with honey butter and it tasted wonderful as well. And not too long after that came our food. I ordered the crab cake Benedict and it was AMAZING!! The potatoes were also crispy and very flavorful. Ambiance is beautiful as well. A very nice place to eat if you're looking for food on riverstreet. A little pricy, but worth it!

We made a reservation for 7:30. We were a few minutes behind from parking but the host didn't mind and sat us right away! The view of the river is cool to see from the restaurant. Our waitress was sweet and brought us samples of wine before we bought a bottle to split! The crawfish beignets were so tasty! The soup was SO GOOD! I wish I could have that recipe! The entrees were just as good! We got a side of Mac n cheese. Definitely stop in and give it a try!

Adorable spot on the river! Huge portions! We ended up splitting the short rib and had left overs. The espresso martini was a winner for sure! The crawfish beignet is very fluffy and tasty. Nice little kick. The service for fine dining is fantastic as one would come to expect.

We made reservations ahead online and when we arrived, the staff greeted us so warmly that, at one point, we wanted to just hang out in the bar area with them. The staff was amazing!!! We were exhausted after a long day touring Savannah's hot spots and were ready to chill for dinner. Our seating was nice as it overlooked the River. It was late in the evening but our view of the River Boat still played into the ambiance for us. This was the 1st dinner in which we both didn't order a cocktail... Strange right!!! We had the Crawfish Beignets & She Crab Soup to start. Both were good and then moved on to the Entrees. They delivered on the Short Ribs and the Fried Chicken. Food was solid and we were full, trying to figure out how to get back to the hotel without walking!!! Great evening.

The gluten free items were labeled !!! That's a big plus. The people were nice and it had a good vibe. I got the short bread ribs and then the cheesecake. It was excellent. I would say this is a 5 star place but it took forever and ever for our food to come. The. It took a long time for them to bring the dessert.

We came to Savannah with zero restaurant reservations. Found Vic's on Yelp and since we were down the street, decided to try it out. The main dining room was reservations only but they sat us in the back patio right away and in my opinion, it was a much better experience. The outside patio was beautiful and the weather was perfect. Our waitress Tenisha (i believe was her name), was the nicest, and her southern accent was the cutest. She helped with all my concerns and even answered some questions about the area. Decided to try some seafood and it was beyond delicious. The Rockefeller oysters were so good and my mahi on a bed of crab risotto was to die for. So much flavor! My daughter ordered the meatloaf and loved it.

The place is a bit smaller than expected but still nice. The place was very clean and the staff was helpful and friendly. The French onion soup was exactly what you want it to be, cheesy top with great onion soup and bread inside. Really great on a cool/cold day. I also had the shrimp and grits and truth be told they were just okay. I saw they had an award for the best shrimp and grits but it left me underwhelmed. Still good but I've had better. Overall a good place to eat and I'd come back but would try the ribeye.

We did not have a reservation but were seated in the bar area at a high top table...the service was excellent and the food and drinks matched the service. We shared an order of fried green tomatoes and a crab cake as appetizers. Servings were large and we all had left overs...I had the short rib and it was cooked perfectly...shrimp and grits for another and the pecan crusted flounder finished our entrees. When we come back to Savannah Vic's will be on our list of go to restaurants!

Food was excellent! Service was a little slow and a little forgetful. One person in our party ordered a drink near the end of dinner, didn't get it, but was charged for it. Luckily we were able to get it to go but still. The vibes were great though! Everyone we talked to was so nice. It's a beautiful restaurant and area as well!

Great location, great menu, beautiful restaurant and excellent service. I wanted to love the place, the menu was so enticing and hard to narrow down selections but I found the food good not great. Started with fried green tomatoes, one of my Southern staples, and not bad but far from the best I've had. In particular, the breading was just too hard. My daughter's crab beignet was better. For a main, I enjoyed the fried chicken but it wasn't among the best I've had. The Mac cheese with it was also just okay. Maybe my expectations were too high, I had heard so much about Savannah food and the restaurant is beautiful, but it feels they missed a little.

Fantastic food and great views. The service was on point. I'll be back. The 3 colleagues that went went with me also really enjoyed their meals. They raved about the Mac & Cheese!

Such a nice restaurant along river street! To get to the restaurant, you have to go through the coffee bar and take the elevator up to the 4th floor, and once you get off the elevator, you will be greeted by the front on the restaurant. We didn't have reservations for lunch, but we were seated immediately. The biscuits that they brought were warm and delicious. We got a fried green tomatoes appetizer to share, and it was really fresh and good. I really enjoyed the short rib sandwich I got, and the seafood dishes all came with generous amounts of seafood. I would definitely come again to try the dinner some time, and I would recommend this place if you are ever on river street!

Second visit at Vic's and it never disappoints. Service, food, ambiance all 10/10. Highly recommend getting a reservation as this place stays busy but the wait is never long for your food!

Nice place. The vibe was cool. Piano man playing. The service was great. We were seated immediately, our server was attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and my fried chicken was hot and juicy. My husband's braised short rib was so tender. The complimentary biscuits were so good. Highly recommend. Not cheap tho.

Stopped in for a quick drink at the bar after walking around Savannah with girlfriends. Nice wine menu. We shared the fried green tomatoes while we sipped on our wine. The appetizer was very good. Perfectly seasoned and lightly battered without being heavy. Delicious.

Stopped by for lunch but there were closed seating for lunch and setting up for dinner. The bar was open. Had a drink to pass the time. We were hungry so we left to eat somewhere else. Will definitely stop by here for lunch or dinner. It looked good and heard great things. Bartender was so friendly.

i thought the atmosphere here was cozy and warm, with soft lighting and lovely landscape paintings on the walls. regarding appetizers: the fried tomatoes, although very crispy, had too much breading (loved the goat cheese on top of those). the crab cake was spectacular and made with fresh blue crab meat. the in terms of the main course, my scallops were so buttery and perfectly cooked. however, the mashed potatoes could have been a bit more flavorful and salty. didn't love the cheesecake. the servers were great; no complaints there.
