What a fun night. The Optimist is a wonderful place to celebrate an event. The staff helped surprise the award winner with champagne and a congratulations sign on the table, and continued making his night throughout dinner. Started with raw oysters and octopus. Loved the spicy honey on the octopus. Shared the apple and blue cheese salad with a friend and another had the she-crab soup. Then entrees, a lobster roll, mahi-mahi and halibut. Sides were cauliflower and hush puppies....read full review

Excellent!!! This place is fantastic! Great atmosphere.....very different. The food was incredible and our server was just as nice as can be. I can't recommend this place enough. The swordfish was amazing....if you don't like seafood, my friend had the burger and he said that even that was delicious. The fries are hand cut!!! Yum!
