“ The steamed bun was absolutely delicious! The 5 spice glaze was what made it. Cali roll was amazing too. The best part was the corn cheesecake! It was not too sweet and the preserved lemon in it just sent it over the top. Our server, Moth, was so gracious and answered all our many questions. Great food and excellent service ”
“ Wow - some of the best food I’ve had recently! I stopped in while driving between Savannah & Charleston and was blown away. I had the lobster roll with fresh melted butter and the most fantastic Old Bay fries I’ve ever had. They brought me out a white asparagus cold soup to try and it was so delicious I couldn’t talk for a minute. Highly recommend! ”

“ We stopped by for a late lunch for my husband's birthday. We were on the hunt for fresh oysters and great cocktails. We happened upon this hidden gem of a restaurant in Beaufort. The owners were delightful and let us sample some of their more popular dishes. We were really impressed with the food and service that we decided to return for dinner and cancel reservations we had made elsewhere. Dinner was amazing. To start, we had oysters, the steam bun, gazpacho and brussel sprouts. All very unique and unforgettable. The special for the evening was Tilefish. It was perfectly prepared and delicious. Locals Raw Bar is now one of our faves when visiting Beaufort. It was such a treat!! We will be returning. ”
