Shrimp and avocado salad was delicious and really hit the spot, so light and fresh. Wait staff is friendly but no one checked on me after I got my food or refilled my drink.

This was my first time eating here. The waitress was attentive and the food was delicious! I had one of the daily specials, Grilled Salmon and my niece had the Grilled Chicken. We both started off with their specialty, Cream of Shrimp Soup with cornbread!

Looking for something different? Want a tasty delicious meal? The Cotrage is the place. Famous for their cream of shrimp soup and their yummy salads with house made dressings, the people are friendly and efficient. Linger if you can for dessert.
