We decided to go here to try a new seafood spot. The atmosphere was nice. The music they were playing was a vibe too. It just so happened to be Karaoke Monday, so they were setting up. Waitress was quick to wait on us. I ordered sausage and headless shrimp. The shrimp was very chewy, which means it was overcooked. The other food was pretty good. I’d go back to try there drinks and actually experience Karaoke night.

Did the snowcrab legs and headless shrimp with the mild garlic butter sauce! Food came out quickly and seasoned well. Delicious! Enjoyed a mixed strawberry mango margarita. Completed the evening with a delicate piece of cheesecake. Would definitely come back next time I’m in the area.

My 17 year old daughter and her 2 friends came into this restaurant. Upon being seated they were asked their age. Not for the purpose of rather or not they could purchase alcohol but for the purpose of if they are not 18 and up gratuity would be automatically added to their bill. That is DISCRIMINATION.

There was only a single waitress for the entire restaurant, so Ms. Vivian – kudos to you. The bartender was helping when he could, and I know this isn’t regular (2 waitresses called out), so needless to say there was a long wait and barely any service. I mean I gave a 30% tip because she got us everything we asked for and was doing her best.

Walked in, and the host asked how many then directed us to a booth without even asking if we wanted a booth a table or sit outside and didn’t speak. Our waitress was nice and friendly, but never came back to ask about our food or see if we needed anything else or try to upsell us on desserts, coffee or more beers. The crabcakes would’ve been very good if they would not have been deep fried versus grilled on a flat top like the picture on the menu showed. I would never eat here again.

The steam pots here were so good! I had the Cajun seasoning medium and the flavor had just the right amount of heat. My sharkbite was delicious and refreshing with gummy sharks in it. Decor melted my mermaid heart.

I have been coming to both locations for a long time. I have never received service like I did last night. Vivan was my waiter and appeared to be the only person taking orders. The service was incomparable. The food was right and correct. I was really impressed by her stamina and the order she kept not only with customers but staff as well. Definitely a 10/10 5 star experience. We will be back
