   We are big fans of The Optimist, but this visit missed the mark. The service was not up to par with our previous visits whatsoever; at one point I waited 20+ minutes for a water refill. Took 30 minutes for appetizer rolls to come out. I felt that the value for the cost of the lobster rolls was absolutely over the top, and disappointed that the waiter didn’t bring ketchup for the fries (& was nowhere to be found for 20 minutes after our food was delivered). We also ordered a shot of espresso to be enjoyed with dessert, but the espresso showed up 5 minutes after we finished dessert. Drink servings were very small. Oysters were also very small (could be time of year). Overall would expect much better service and value (quantity of food) for this type of restaurant; if you can’t staff the restaurant adequately, don’t fill all of the tables. The Optimist is still one of our favorite spots in town, but this visit just left us feeling disappointed!

   Absolutely fantastic. Our server Brian was one of the best servers we’ve ever had. The food was phenomenal. Got The Refuge seafood platter with hush puppies and heirloom tomato salad. Amazing combination. Drinks were fabulous. Everything was beautiful and we will be going back as soon as possible!

    Wonderful vibe in a hip setting. The food was exceptional with the halibut and scallop entrees being our favorite. Service was also great, but on the downside the place was a bit noisy (even the waitress asked the front to turn down the music so she could hear our orders)!

    The food was wonderful as we celebrated my sons birthday. Each course had its own flavor and done beautifully. Appetizers are large enough to share with four. The atmosphere was cool vibe with brick walls, dark wood and copper table. The waitress was helpful with food selections and very friendly.

    Super delicious!! I Recommend the plateaux and brown butter pecan flounder. Our wonderful waiter,James made our dinner fabulous with recommendations. Finish with coconut pie. My mom makes a highly requested pie so I was reluctant but it’s Completely different than a typical cream pie. So so good. Order it! If you don’t like it, Mail it to me .. I’ll pay shipping-it’s that yummy.

    Quick seating and attentive staff. We had oysters and the hot peel and eat shrimp for starters, very delectable and fresh! The flounder and mahi mahi followed. Most impressed when the wait staff filleted the flounder for my fiancé. The fish was cooked perfectly, and tasted great. Sides were plentiful to share as well. Great food and experience!

    The service was fabulous. Our server, Paul, was extremely knowledgeable. The food was very flavorful. The rolls are quite tasty. The menu is quite diversified. I especially enjoyed the octopus. My flounder was really good and the portion was huge. I did not like my bourbon and ginger ale. I think the ginger ale should be different. The atmosphere was fine --- very industrial, but quite noisy. I would consider having a sound engineer see what could be done to minimize the noise. The prices were quite high. Our bill was $375 for four people before tip and $450 with tip. We only had four alcoholic drinks and so that bill seems quite high considering the small amount of alcohol.

    Smoked fish chowder was amazing. Smoked fish dip for 7 dollars was a steal. Oh, the peach sorbet was great and a real value at 4 dollars. Coconut pie is amazing. Not your normal coconut pie

    The food was seasonal and fresh! The oysters were possibly the best in town and the descriptions when ordering were very detailed and accurate from the size to taste to texture. Wine selection wasn’t amazing but found a good wine to go with seafood. Service was very good. Our server was a little chatty but so nice it was hard to shy away from conversation. I highly recommend this place!

    Our server, Ernest, was very slow in waiting on us. I was seated at least five minutes before he introduced himself. Then it was another seven minutes before he came to take the drink order. We had to get his attention in order to place our entrees order. He seemed very attentive to the tables around us. I felt that he decided it wasn’t going to be a big ticket table so he didn’t bother to offer good service. The Lobster rolls and Redfish were excellent, Too bad the service wasn’t.

    The server was great but the actual service was very slow. Also they didn’t really bus the table after each course. They waited til the next course was ready so we sat with dirty plates for 30 min between our courses. The food took forever and they ran out of a lot of stuff we wanted. We weren’t there very late so I was surprised they ran out of so many things. We felt bad for the server.

    Unfortunately we were extremely underwhelmed by our experience here. We ordered Oysters, the tuna crudo appetizer to start then had the scallops and lobster rolls for our entrees. Food: the tuna crudo was three small pieces of tuna with tiny garnish of picked peach and tomato seed on top. It was just ok and extremely overpriced at $20. The scallops entree cost $39 and had four small scallops despite our server telling us the dish had 5-6 large scallops in it. The scallops were fishy and overcooked/rubbery. The lobster rolls were fine but mayonnaise-y, which I don’t enjoy. The accompanying fries were extremely underwhelming. Overall the food felt more on par with a restaurant such as Bonefish and certainly not worth the price. Service: Our server was nice but our drinks came out after we had already eaten our oysters (30 minutes after ordering?). Vibe: honestly there isn’t much of one. Just an overall disappointing experience and we were really looking forward to dining here. Given the hype I expected much more. Would not recommend and don’t plan on returning.

    I couldn't wait to try this restaurant and am so disappointed. The inside and upstairs of the restaurant had a great ambiance. Unfortunately, we sat outside which had an essence of garbage and dryer sheets from the condominium next door. The drinks were creative and delicious. Our waitress was nice and helpful with suggestions, but forgetful and extremely slow. The food was all fresh but fell short on portions compared to price. It seems like they put more effort into presentation than flavor as my cold shrimp were overcooked. After a $480 bill, I would consider only going to the bar for an appetizer and drinks, then onto somewhere else for dinner.
