    This place opened later than the other restaurants around, so we went. The food was great, well-seasoned, and tasted really fresh. The decor was really nice, too.

    This is another great dining place with great food! It's been a while, but I decided to visit again. I normally dine in , but I called in my order ahead of time. I ordered the daily special 1/2 lb of blue crabs 1/2 lb headless shrimp came with corn and potatoes with cilantro lime sauce with lemon pepper on the side. When I arrived I expected to wait, being I literally ordered 15 mins ago and it takes 10 mins from my house to get there. My order was the customer service was excellent. Each staff member was friendly as if I was the only person there. My order was ready I also requested a special drink which was a wine margarita. Instead of the adding tequila I requested wine. I thought I would be denied, but the bartender was excited to hear and try my drink choice. She made it fresh right in front of me and it was delicious!! The atmosphere was great and the facility was clean as always! Thank you for making my money worth spending here!

    Absolutely loved this spot! The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned — every bite was a win. But what really made the experience unforgettable was our waitress Tee. She was awesome! Her vibe was so positive, fun, and welcoming — she made us feel right at home. We’ll definitely be back!

    I visited 7/25/25 had a waitress that did not acknowledge us for the first 10-15 mins. Mrs MONICA (waitress) was not our server but stepped up. Got us our drinks and food within no time. Acknowledge our table and asked if we needed anything EVERY time she passed our table. She not only acknowledged and gave my table 100% great service ( although my table was NOT assigned to her) she also provided great service to her tables and others tables as well. The way she provided service on this busy Friday night did not go unnoticed. She is a waitress/server that EVERY restaurant needs. Great customer service with a smile. This review is for your amazing, attentive waitress/server Mrs Monica….She deserves this and more. Thank you Mrs Monica!!!! Made my experience 100% better. GREAT WAITRESS!!!!
