★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Luis Echeverri · Nov 2025

The place it's located at the very good spot. The staff don't know very well about liquors on inventory. The food it was oversalty. The salad base on the appetizer it was dried and non fresh. The waitress it was absent for long moments from the scene and nobody was in attention to the needs of the patrons. I went because the good reviews on Google and even a mention in a book at the hotel but the perception of the attention. And the overall food it was a bad experience.

Shrimp salad sandwich was primarily bread and lettuce and had no flavor. Side of succotash also very little flavor. Shrimp tacos good but not great. Staff friendly and atmosphere clean and quaint.

Outstanding! What more could you want on a beautiful Mid 70° Sunday. So glad that they reopened newly printed menus great food as usual, and excellent drinks For reasonable prices (Which is hard to find these days). I read in past reviews. Glad to try it myself and make my own decision. Happy to be here and happy to be back at Desposito’s. Will make a return visit! Bring on the Hush Puppies!!!!

I would give this restaurant a solid 9 out of 10. The overall experience was very enjoyable — the service, in particular, was attentive, thoughtful, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. The only small critique I have is that the seasoning on the crab was a bit overpowering. I would have loved to taste more of the natural crab meat flavor, but the spices were a little too heavy-handed. Still, everything else was excellent, and we would gladly return whenever we have the chance.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 John Ortiz · Jul 2025

Stopped by for lunch. Started with their old bay chips, chips were good and crunchy, spice was overpowering. I ordered the fried oyster plate with Mac and cheese. Everything was really good got more oysters than advertised on the menu. Oysters were fried nicely and still juicy on the inside. The Mac and cheese side was awesome . The wife ordered the fried fish basket and the fillet was really big and cooked perfectly. She also got the Mac and cheese. The only issues we had was with our server. This guy needs to find a job soon else. We got a couple of beers which came in cans. The can lids were dirty. He didn’t ask if we wanted a glass, so I had to find another way employee to get glasses. The glasses were filthy. So after they cleaned them I went to have a drink. After we finished our me
