A great local bar and low country restaurant. We ate there on St. Patrick's day because pregnant mama had a shrimp po-boy craving. It was our first dining experience there with a toddler. The staff was very friendly but the number of tables that could seat a high chair are limited. We were about the be seated in a booth when the hostess realized we needed a high chair. A very nice couple offered to switch tables with us so we could have a table (and use the high chair) as they had just been seated. There is no kids menu but some perennial children's favorites like mac-n-cheese (was really good) and quesadillas are on the menu. I think our son would have also enjoyed the cheese grits. The main dining room was a bit smoky as it is off of the bar but that could have been because there was a large crowd gathered to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. The dining room was quite loud so a small child will not bother anyone's dining experience.
