    There was nothing particularly bad about this place. They are friendly and attentive. Atmosphere is casual. The negatives for me were: plastic utensils and scarcely provided, only on request; lack of healthier menu options; foods were heavily fried or cooked; no childrens menu. There was simply not enough really "good" to make this worth recommending.

    Lunch for two. No waiting. The shrimps with mixed spices was good, tender and flavorful. The mussels was okay. Didn't tried anything else. This might be a fun place for a group gathering. But for me, I might be back only if I really crave for this type of food.

    We had a good time. Food was good, service was good. And especially those special glazed wings were off the chain. Thanks to the chef! Thank you

    Friendly staff, nice enjoyable tasty food. However, food is a bit messy to eat due to all the spices and ingredients, so be sure not to wear anything you are afraid to get dirty. (They do provide you with an apron.)

    The seasoning on the peel and eat shrimp (I chose the mix) was delicious, but too thick, and not as spicy as I thought. Shrimp was cooked perfectly. Other places shrimp is way over cooked that it is mushy. But I enjoy the seasonings better at the other place. All in all it’s ok, could be way better.

    It was our first time trying the restaurant, And we were overall very pleased. We ordered a margarita and mojito (which was great) and a bunch of appetizers, we really wanted to try most of their food. Everything was great however a bit small in portions size. We were also somewhat surprised that they did not have enough utensils but wasn’t too big of a deal for us. The oysters/shrimp and lobster were also great!

    The shrimp and crab were really delicious. We had been a bit disappointed in the quality of the seafood the last time we were there. Friendly service, surprisingly tasty Pinot Gris and they accommodated our wish for them to serve the food in a tray instead of a bag. We will definitely go back to eat the delicious seafood again.

    We wanted to pick crabs and every other place had a line out the door. This place took us right in and we ate delicious seafood!
