   We celebrated our 10th anniversary here and received the best treatment! We were able to choose our table and have the most excellent wait staff. The crab cake was the size of my head and the wine was delicious. We shared the brownies for dessert and I think it's the best dessert I've ever had - I'll be dreaming of that chocolate for years to come!

   Our server was over the top attentive & professional. Cocktails and food were exquisite - among the best at the beach.,The oyster stew is a must try, especially on a cold, winterous night.

   A Fabulous Evening to Remember Last night was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The warm lighting, attentive staff, and an energetic yet relaxed atmosphere promised a great evening—and it absolutely delivered. We began with the tuna appetizer, a masterpiece of balance and flavor. The tuna was impossibly fresh, delicately seasoned, and paired with a zesty, vibrant sauce that elevated every bite. It was light yet indulgent—an ideal way to start the meal. Then came the spontaneous cocktails from the bar. Each drink felt like a creative surprise. The bartender clearly knows their craft, delivering concoctions that were as visually stunning as they were delicious. From a perfectly balanced citrus-forward refresher to a bold, smoky whiskey creation, every drink added its own layer of joy to the evening. For the main course, the steak was nothing short of perfection. Cooked to a flawless medium-rare, it arrived tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Paired with a decadent sauce and sides that complemented the dish without overshadowing it, this steak reminded me why classic dishes, when done right, remain unbeatable. The service was impeccable throughout the night—attentive without being overbearing. Our server anticipated our needs before we even voiced them, and the pacing of the meal was spot-on. This wasn’t just dinner; it was an experience. A perfect balance of spontaneity, craftsmanship, and indulgence, all coming together in one remarkable evening. I can’t wait to return. Bravo to the entire team!

   We always have a great experience at Eat! We had the Oyster Stew last night, and it was amazing! We had a very attentive and friendly server, and the hostess was great too. Eat is our “go to” place when we want to guarantee an amazing meal.

   The drinks were good. A pretty nice selection of bourbons. The food was tasty, but not a lot of it. $40 for 3 scallops didn’t really work for me. The crème brûlée was very flavorful; however, the chocolate decadence with coffee didn’t really hit the spot. Delaney our server took excellent care of us and gave some good recommendations.
