I literally just left this restaurant and I’m already thinking about going back! I’ll be there tomorrow! I wish I would’ve gotten my servers name. I sat at the bar and I couldn’t have asked for greater service. It only took 3 seconds for me to be seated and the parking is more than abundant. I highly recommend the Raw Oysters, the Fried Shrimp, the Coleslaw along with the New York Strip Steak. (A few Stella Artois’s with limes will be even better) you won’t be disappointed eating and drinking here!

While on vacation from Pennsylvania, my husband and our toddler ate dinner here. Maggie was our waitress and she was so kind to our daughter as well as us. I ordered the Seafood Sauté and my husband ordered the Lobster. Both dishes were phenomenal. When the lobster dish came out, a butter pan with warmer was part of the experience! Wow!! No hardened butter; a new bar has been set for our seafood dinning experiences!! All of the staff were so friendly and greeted the regulars by name, asking about goings on their lives too! If we ever come back this way again, we will most definitely stop by again!

The family decided to try out a new place and chose here because we kept seeing the commercials and we love seafood. Honestly, from the moment we stepped inside it was extremely underwhelming! It’s definitely not what we expected, but won’t judge just by the atmosphere. We were promptly greeted and seated. Upon viewing the very small menu we chose several different appetizers as well as entrees.

We had a good meal. We started with the Fried Green Tomatoes. Being a southern gal, I have eaten a lot of this in my life. They were really good. Any time I’ve ordered this dish at different restaurants they were always greasy. Not so this time. My husband ordered Frog Legs. I am not terribly adventurous with food, but I tried them. I was surprised. The texture and flavor were much more delicate than I was expecting. I ordered Crab Cakes, also good. I chose red skin potatoes as my side. They were just boiled (which the server told me when I ordered), so they just needed some butter, salt and pepper. Our server was really nice and tolerated me in a chatty mood :-). I also have no complaints with the atmosphere. All good.

1st time experience and very impressed with service and food (Traci behind the bar, great personality and very attentive). Clam chowder was excellent, walleye and seafood diablo perfect combination and spice. If you love seafood this restaurant needs to be on your list. Well done and will be back.

Great food and decent price. Stuffed lobster was excellent and the clam chowder is one of the best I have ever had.

We didn’t make reservations, so we sat at the bar. The service was excellent. I had the grouper picatta. It was very good. My wife had the stuffed shrimp. Very good also.

I was recently hired to photograph a few of O’Brien’s dishes. I also had an opportunity to enjoy the Michigan salmon salad, shrimp cocktail, blackened salmon alfredo, fried green tomatoes and seafood diablo. All the dishes were so delicious. What stood out for me was the blackened salmon alfredo. I have had a lot of different salmon dishes but this one just puts the comfort into food. Paired with a good white wine, I was in heaven!

First time experience. Excellent service. King crab legs outstanding. My only issue was the oysters. I ordered a dozen. They were all Bluepoint… the sizes were all over the place. But my main issue was how some of them were stacked on top of each other! I have never seen this before and I hope I never see it again. That is not an appropriate presentation for oysters on the half shell.
