Their Clam Chowder is to die for. The bread they serve with it is perfect. Everytime we go to Vegas we always go there.

We were a bit worried since the reviews online weren’t that great. The food is different than it used to be, but still tastes pretty good. Our only disappointment was that they used to make fresh mojitos, now it comes in a can.

Hate to write this….we are local, and this is a treat for us. We ordered the large ‘Seafood Jackpot’ for $65 as an appetizer. It included King Crab….they brought a ‘lower cost version’ to our table that had Snow Crab and not King Crab….bringing this to their attention…they would not change the price, or fix it. So, I sent it back….I really wanted to eat that. We went without…we ate our gumbo and jambalaya-both awesome. Terrible service on behalf of the kitchen manager (came out to frown at us…) and the manager who just walked by gleefully when he knew he owed us an apology or explanation….MAJOR DISAPPOINTED

We had read some less than stellar reviews but decided to try it anyway and were very impressed! The food (lobster Mac & cheese, fresh oysters and crab stuffed shrimp) was exceptional. Flavours were perfect, serving size was just right and the price was very reasonable. Our server, Tiebe, was great and we felt very welcomed. Next Vegas trip, we’ll be back!
