Sort of predictable menu, pleasant service (Katelyn) but the restaurant was nothing to write home about.And, how about those $14 Margaritas? Come on, guys.Four people, two shrimp baskets, two sandwiches, 1 beer and 1 margarita for a total (before tip) of $93.Probably benefits as the only game in town, but I cannot see us returning anytime soon.

Neighborhood beach bar with fresh cocktails and tasty food. Nightly specials as well as Happy Hour!

So glad this place opened! Definitely one of our regular go to restaurants. We've been about a dozen times. Some of my favorite mixed drinks ever. Food is always very good and very fresh. We love the open air concept. The set up is a bit weird about ordering food if you aren't sitting at the bar, but the rest is great. Staff has always been great. We love going for an evening boat ride, then walking to Lowlife for drinks and food after.

Stopped by for lunch on my way to Seabrook Island. Lunch special with she crab soup and fried shrimp. Soup was good but unusual, not the customary fare. Fried shrimp were excellent. Incredible service.

We dined here twice during our vacation in Kiawah. Our dinner salads were excellent - loved the caesar dressing. Our seafood reuben, fried shrimp,turkey reuben, and onion rings were all delicious. It is not a fancy place but we have found the food and service to be consistently excellent. In our last visit, the server was absolutely fantastic - so friendly with our young niece while still handling our order and her other customers.

Such a great spot right on the water -- that's our positive spin. Our food looked good but was not as fabulous as we hoped. My husband had the fried oyster salad which also had fried onion rings and he was sad because both were barely warm -- as if they had been pre-fried and were just waiting to "don" a salad. I had the wedge with shrimp as an addition -- it was okay. I think our biggest disappointment was service was very, very slow. We heard the waitress telling another table she was the only one working and she was sorry -- but that just isn't a good excuse for a restaurant. It took us forever to get drink refills and we ended up going inside to pay, because the waitress didn't come back in a timely manner after dropping off the bill. The menu looks yummy -- they really need to work on the service side.

We had a large group, and reserved for 7pm. Wasn't very busy. Our waiter was very vocal to the fact that if you had a certain dish, you would come back next week because it was going to be that good. He also made us well aware that this restaurant did the majority of business on the whole island. Bottom line was most of us were believing that this place was great. The bar was set high. So it took a while for the food to come, the group went through a few bottles of wine waiting. The food comes, and there were quite a few complaints. Potatoes were too salty, one dish was cold, while another guy ordered the most expensive item, and he was not pleased. The bill was really close to 2k, you would expect better than average. Set the bar low and exceed. But the the view from the porch is nice.

Casual French bistro where you will experience the same gracious hospitality as the coastal gentry of Kiawah and Seabrook Island.
Reviewed By ritadugan
We had reservations for 7 and we were accommodated very nicely. A nice big table, very roomy and not crowded together. Our waiter AJ was absolutely fabulous. The food was over the top. The steak, seafood selections, and vegetables were prepared wonderfully. Be sure to get the cheesecake for dessert, it is to die for.
