    This was our first time to eat here. We chose to try this place for our anniversary dinner. Our initial feeling wasn't great. It took awhile to even be acknowledged while others around us were getting their drinks and such. I assume that was just bad luck. This is a little nit picky, but we did add on Open Table that this was our anniversary. Normally, in nicer restaurants that take reservations, they mention something and they put you in a better table than just in the middle of the restaurant. Overall, the food is extremely overpriced for what it was. We ordered the chargrilled oysters to start. Great flavor with the parmesan cheese, but normally, the chargrilled flavor comes through with oysters. We didn't taste it at all. For our entrees, my wife ordered the Redfish Pontchartrain and I ordered the Shrimp and Scallop Baton Rouge. My wife's entree was barely fit to eat. The fish was over-cooked and she had to remove the sauce to eat it. It's not what I would expect from a madeira sauce. The shrimp and scallops were fine. Would've expected more of a sear on the scallops, but they were decent. The broccoli (noted as seared) was not seared and barely cooked at all. The prices that come with these meals made us think it would be higher end seafood. Pretty disappointed. There are better options that are cheaper in New Braunfels and San Antonio overall.

    Great experience!!!! We were seated within 3 minutes of arriving. We always order a postmaster and the Mahi Mahi Bouderaux which is outstanding!!!! The server, Victoria, and the bar manager went over and beyond to make sure everything was satisfactory.

    Food was delicious. One of us had the Mahi Mahi Beaudroux and the other had the Redfish Ponchartrain. We both finished our entire plate and then had the key lime pie for dessert. Can't wait to go back again soon!

    The seafood here is without question the best in the area. McAdoo's is where we go for special occasions. The elements that make the architecture fascinating lead to a very high noise level, so while a table for two allows conversation, larger parties will have trouble hearing each other. Nevertheless, the menu and the quality of the food trump the noise.
