    Nauti Cajun crab is hands down one of the best seafood spots around! The renovation looks amazing, bright, clean and coastal. The seafood is super fresh, and the sauces are packed with bold Cajun flavor. I highly recommend the ultimate feast bucket-it’s loaded and delicious. Great service, BYOB and a fun vibe. Definitely worth the visit!

    My girlfriend and I dined at Fiorino’s on 5/13/25 and had an amazing experience. The service is attentive without being intrusive. For appetizers we had the blood orange salad and the grilled octopus and both were delicious. The octopus had a nice seasoning, was tender and grilled to perfection. Our entrees consisted of broiled veal and double pork chops. Both were moist and generous and served with vegetables. The dessert was the blueberry crisp with vanilla gelato and it was on point. Coffee was brewed to perfection as well.I can wait to come back again and try some of the fish selections.
