Service: Very good. Not the fastest place in the world, but our waitress was relatively knowledgeable and helped us choose our entrees. She was also able to supply chocolate milk for our 5 year old, which was appreciated. No issues with substituting broccoli for fries (I have the one 5 year old in the world that hates french fries)
Atmosphere: Very laid back and casual. No peanut shells on the floor, but butcher paper for tablecloths and picnic table seating. A few beer signs, mounted fish and big plate windows.
Food: My wife ordered grilled snapper (special), I ordered blackened Mahi. My wife wasn't a fan of the blackening (and to be honest, I've had more flavorful coatings, this was mainly char) but she liked the snapper. I thought the Mahi was very good. Both fish entrees were very fresh. The catfish appetizer was also fresh and well prepared. Our side dishes though were pretty awful. Leading the pack was the insipid, flavorless and extremely overcooked white rice. ""Gross"" is the only way to describe it. Next; the sugar snap peas. Also overcooked, but not as bad as the rice. They just tasted bland. They aren't in season, so maybe they're frozen, but if I were running the place I would completely rethink the sides. Lastly the slaw - little heavy on the relish for me.
Parking: Extremely easy in the Brightleaf lot; they do validate the parking ticket even though it isn't in the Brightleaf building, which is very nice.
Pros: Both fish entrees were very fresh
Cons: Rice that came with the meal was gross
