Came for a 70th birthday celebration, and also my first time dining here. Marquise was patient and very accommodating for our very large party of 13. I'd absolutely dine here again. Food was very good and service was top notch!

First time visiting. Surprised how few people were around for dinner. Had a few entrees. Lobster bisque was hot and creamy. Lots of flavor. Flounder basket was very good. Tender filets lightly fried and moist. Cajun fries were nicely crispy. Best meal was the Shell Shocker boil. Mix of snow crabs, shrimp, corn and potatoes. Very tasty in the lemon pepper sauce. Great friendly and attentive service. Would recommend anyone interested in seafood.

It's so aesthetically pleasing I love the decor. I enjoyed the service. It was very fast. The waitress was very kind and attentive. The food was over the top flavorful and delicious. I’m not a crab eater, but I did enjoy the flounder and french fries and the corn with the Cajun butter and seasoning. It was a decent portion. I was able to share with my son. The food was so good. I nearly fell asleep at the table. I didn’t try the drinks, but the menu looks very interesting. I’m hoping to try one of their drinks. Next time I go.

The music they were playing was so good ! I came at 4 o clock and the bar was closed and not available to sit at. I came alone and didn’t want a table solo. But anyway I was still able to be serve an alcoholic beverage. My rum punch was good only 6. Nakia was so good at providing great service . I’ll be back and will be asking for her. The seafood boil was good but I didn’t like the creamy butter base that much but the flavor was perfect. I’m more a fan of the buttery oily base but either way I’ll return
