On a recent weekend the restaurant was host to two visitors from Switzerland and to a group of people who'd driven over from Eglin Air Force Base to visit relatives in the area. We got an invitation from him to come up for a state dinner in Washington. Besides the oysters, it's the casual atmosphere that keeps customers coming back, McNeill says. We just want to make it so people can enjoy it when they come down. If we didn't enjoy it, we wouldn't do it.
People can come in here in short pants, and flip flops, and T-shirts, get their drinks and relax.
It's just like a hometown thing. People enjoy coming, and they don't mind bringing their kids.
