Stillwater

Stillwater is an institution. However, for some odd reason, ornery is sometimes served cold on the menu. That said, I have not ordered it, as I generally stick to the specials!

What I do like, and you'll like too, about Stillwater is the location - sitting on the water is amazing - with sailboats anchored nearby, a boat builder next door, wild horses grazing in the distance, and of course the "characters" of Beaufort engaging in conversation all together help make Stillwater a favorite.

The wine list is a nice selection of very tasty choices. Meanwhile the chef uses the freshest ingredients (think fish) to craft incredible dishes every time I visit, and my visits are becoming numerous. If the grouper is on special catch it!

Finally, I can't overlook the amazing bar, fitted with two highly talented bartenders. Try the Mojito and Painkiller (local favorite) to get you started.

Enjoy.

Seated us and ignored us.  We waited 10 minutes for service and decided to leave.  Didn't offer us so much as a glass of water.

treated us like we didnt belong there.  so close to getting up and leaving.  such a terrible attitude to have. will not go back no matter how good the food.
