    The main entrée for 2 crab cakes and fries, shrimp and fries and 2 sushi rolls took over 30 minutes to come out and waitress never advised was checking on order prior to order coming out. Blueberry lemon drop made incorrectly and return as you cannot call a regular lemon drop which was also mixed horribly blueberry just because you added one blueberry. Rice on dragon sushi roll hard. With such poor service and quality of food the waiter had the audacity to automatically add a 18% gratuity on a $228 bill for a 3 party table when the company is already getting a labor of love fee. Service must be of the same standard as you are expecting of tip vs bare minimum of just taking an order. Will not return nor recommend.

    First time at this wonderful seafood restaurant. Our order got a little mixed up but all choices were great once we got the right items. Several bars and spaces to choose. During evening and busy times definitely make a reservation.

    The menu offers fried shrimp and fried oysters as platters or appetizers separately. The restaurant used to offer what they called ‘seafood popcorn,’ which was fried shrimp, oysters and clams as an appetizer. Now, the manager says they can’t offer that anymore!!! WHY!!! Also, they now charge 18% gratuity automatically, regardless of the size of your group! There were so many things that I asked for from memories of eating here so many times in the past. I was told no. I think this restaurant will suffer as long as they find ways to deny customers instead of service and satisfy us!! Previous managers always told me if I wanted something that’s not on the menu to just ask a manager. We’ll, did that. Nothing changed. There used to be an older guy working there who found ways to satisfy customers. I believe he retired, and now the manager seems to care more about the restaurant than the customers who actually make the restaurant successful. I probably won’t be back. I hate to say that. But they left me no choice.

    Had a reservation and still had to wait over an hour to be seated, then we was treated like we were invisible sitting in at a table in the corner for another 25mins before the waiter ran over to say he didn't know we were wait to be served.. another waiter came over to say I will find out who will be serving our table. Service very poor, was not accommodated for the long wait. Many people was seated, ate there food before we got a menu. So disappointing, and the food was ok. I order there famous crab cake egg rolls and half of the appetizer was burned. I was celebrating my birthday and do you think I got a happy birthday when we got desert which should have been on the house. The manager didn't even come to apologize for the long wait or bad serves. But we noticed the manager going to other table that has been seated after us. Of all the times I have visited this restaurant it has been the worst and I don’t recommend anyone to go on the weekend.

    Reservations are a must! Indoor and outdoor seating options were offered. Opted for outdoors. Everything ordered was amazing, drinks, food, you name it! What'd I have you're asking? Well a Green Tea Jamison shot (x2), the white sangria (x2), a crab cake eggroll, Jimmy's take on mozzarella sticks and a cup of cream of crab. The options of those that I was with were amazing also. First time trying mussels and I was pleasantly surprised.

    It was a very nice restaurant, the ambience was warm and quiet. I could not hear anything the people around us were saying. Our waiter was very good and attentive!! The only thing I wasn’t a fan was how they added a 20% gratituty. But I definitely understood it!!

    I was very disappointed in the size of the scallops. They were very small and it only came with 6 total and a side of green beans for $40!! If they were jumbo scallops 100% would not say anything with that price. These were tiny. But they were absolutely delicious!!!

    The food was very bland. I hadn’t been here in about 2 years and was very disappointed in everything we ordered. The dressing on the caesar salad was watery, the crab cake and Mac and cheese were bland. The only good thing about our experience was the waitress. She was very pleasant and attentive. I won’t be returning.
