When we got there our schedule time out booth wasn’t ready and when they did seat us the seats were dirty still. This was our first time there. Now our waitress Jasmine was outstanding very attentive, I to her $20 on top of the 18% they charge automatically, the food was subpar to me this place is definitely a seafood restaurant. So I ordered the Alfredo pasta (spicy) I don’t eat sea food and added the broccoli for an extra $3.99 I received three pieces and added chicken for the same price of $3.99 I didn’t know that my chicken would be one tender fried. Yeah this place wasn’t for me.

The restaurant was nice, i was there on time for my reservation. The food was tasty, and the portion size ample. The only thing i didnt like was the automatic 18% gratuity. Some places act as though tips/gratuity are mandatory, when it is always optional.

Everything was pretty fantastic. The seafood was amazing – seriously top-notch! And Jasmine, our server, was a total sweetheart. She was pleasant and on the ball, it really made the whole experience that much better. The only tiny things I noticed were the wait time (understandable, I guess, since they’re so popular!), and the crab was just a tad overdone. But honestly, those were minor quibbles. The good far outweighed the slightly less-than-perfect.

The decor is not giving Cajun/Creole. It still looks like an Asian buffet. Maybe work at a more carnival theme. It will make the atmosphere more lively. The food is delicious. Greeters were dry but my waitress was pleasant & professional. Everything was clean. Just gotta work on the decor, atmosphere & vibe. It’s boring.

Server got my drink wrong and didn’t even give my girlfriend her drink, waited for 40 after ordering food and left. I think they were understaffed but they shouldn’t book reservations if they can’t properly serve the customers.

The food is always incredible, however the service was very poor. I understand it’s busy but we had to flag a server down just to come take our order. We asked for a drink menu several times never got it until the bill had come. This hidden gem is becoming very popular so I understand

First time dining, drove 40 minutes from Mokena to try this place. We were unaware of the hour wait time on food and 30 minute wait on appetizers until seated. Will have to come back during less busy hours.
