Excellent. Five stars in my opinion. B.Strong Approved. My only comment is if you don’t like music during your meal you may consider takeout. For us it was excellent.

Great experience. Great food. The menu can be tricky so take your time reading it and understanding what you want and how it is offered on the menu. Ask for help from your server if you have doubts to avoid surprises on your bill. We've been a few times and have plenty of experience with the menu. The place is always clean and the food comes out hot and fresh.

The food was great... but our server, Gorgeous (that's her real name), went above and beyond. She made sure to check on us often, but we never needed anything because she had already done it. Thank you for a great dinner :)

Very first time eating here. I would like a "just butter " open on the bag boil. And the mild sauce/ garlic butter i for in the side we a lot. But they did bring me just bet. But the food and service was good.

Really pretty good! Fried seafood and French fries are amazing! Boiled seafood could use a touch more salt and hot isn't really hot here. Even highest level of heat wasn't really hot at all. Overall very happy everyone cleaned plates! Friendly attentive service !

If you're a seafood lover, you're gonna love this place! It's clean & cozy, the services was good and the food was very flavorful. Our time here was well spent once we got to our table as the host took quite some time to seat us, which is usually understandable if the place is busy/packed but they we not. Our Rating Scale 1-10: Customer Service: 7 Wait Time: 6 Appetizer: 10 Drinks/Bar: 9 Entree: 10 Restrooms: 8 Atmosphere: 9 This is a nice place for friends, family and a casual or first date as you will be paying a rate equivalent to an upscale restaurant. If you're not a seafood eater they do offer wings and tenders. If you can't have shell fish, fish is available in baskets. Come here for great seafood options, good services and a nice time!

Yum yum! This was my first visit and I must say that it was really good. The food was seasoned just right to my request. The service was good. I love the sink against the back wall to wash your hands since I'm not a fan of going in the bathroom unless needed. The restuarant was really clean the decor was nice. I would definitely visit again when I am in town. As you leave the hostess opened the door for every customer. Thanks again
