Had my son's 30th birthday there and the staff along with the owner were very kind and making sure we had all we needed to include shots of tequila to help celebrate. Food is authentic and excellent, and we had Cajun seafood bag and wings all very good. Highly recommend!

My partner and I love seafood and have always been curious about this place. We had hesitations at first because it’s something that’s in a more hidden, quiet part off Man-O-War and we hadn’t heard of it but the minute we bit into our food all those doubts disappeared! Hands down the best seafood place in Lexington! My partner scarfed down his crawfish. The food came out so quickly but was hot and fresh. We did the “create your own” boil and it was the perfect amount for the two of us. You have to try their Shaking Seasoning! Truly an amazing seasoning. No idea why it’s not sold in stores yet!! We added mushrooms to our boil and they were delicious and soaked up the seasoning perfect. We also loved the setup of the table with a trash bin in the middle. Also, not related to food, their bathrooms were SO clean and smelled so nice. The meal was also affordable (only $30 for egg rolls, boil, and drinks). I have never given a place 5 stars so fast! When we left, I was already thinking I can’t wait to go back again!Note: we went on a Sunday, two hours before close. It was a pretty quiet day but your experience might be affected if you go on a busier day!

My husband and I were in town to celebrate our anniversary for a couple of days and stumbled upon this place! We have experienced many oceanfront seafood restaurants and considering Kentucky is a land locked state this seafood restaurant was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere and staff were spectacular! We definitely recommend giving them a try!

A nice clean place. Service was great. It's got a beach vibe, and does a take on a low country boil that is good. More seasoning is needed in fried shrimp to bring it to fantastic from good.

Great staff, excellent food! It was priced fairly, and they were very attentive. I felt very welcome there this evening!

Seafood boil was good. Service was good too.

Amazing service and great environment!! Me and a few friends had a birthday there and had the most excellent time!! Even the owner came out to give us a pleasant hello and a happy birthday!! Food was great and felt so very welcome!! Is definitely in my top 5 places to go in Lexington!

Don’t get the catfish, it’s hot garbage. Not worth the money. Great service tho

Terrible owner, very rude. Food not so great for the price.

This place is awesome. I wanted fried shrimp so bad but not allowed to have it since I had heart surgery. So I got the broiled shrimp . OH MY GOSH IT WAS AMAZING
