It was a epic failure. We traveled from West Philly. The Waitress knew nothing about the menu. Nobody's food came out together and lastly are appetizers came out after the meal. At normal seafood Establishment your drinks are normally refillable. They charge $3 for every soda we drunk. And the food was just ordinary. Nothing spectacular about it. I could have stayed in West Philly and went to the corner store and got the same thing. Oh I'm a tipper. I would have tipped her 15% but they automatically took out 20% .

Food was horrible, portion size was horrible, and the service was even worst. I took my mother for Mother's day and was so embarrassed I even picked there to go. I drove almost 2 hours from philly. Just an example our apperziter came out after we were finished eating main dish. We had forgot we even order the fisherman... and it came cold!! Trust me don't go

Great place for date night or family dinner.

I enjoyed everything except for their crawfish. I told them at the end that it tasted very sandy, but I ended up paying for it anyway. Unfortunately I ended up with a tract infection which lasted a bit over a week. Wish that didn't happen, I liked the flavor of everything else, but won't be going back.

The BEST lobster rolls Ive ever had! Definitely my new favorite restaurant.

Just got pick up order & it was great. Ordered Fried Lobster Tail sandwiches & they were great.Can't wait to try other things on menu. Wish the owners good luck.

Went with my wife on Saturday after 4:30p and was sat down immediately. Very spacious with well stocked bar. Drinks are great with happy hour specials. Seafood was fresh and awesome tasting. Really excellent service and attentiveness. Parking in the rear and you won’t be disappointed when looking for your seafood fix.

Love the seafood. Taste so good. I love spicy garlic flavor

Loved my Vietnamese owner, server, bartender? My friend and I arrived at 6:15 and didn't leave till 3 hours later! ??? ??? ??? ???The mini boil was great + the cajun fries are a must....perfectly crispy!!!The best part was the bib and gloves!! Really had a great time catching up and since we are all in a scare with Omicron we almost canceled but give it a try. When we went there were about 12 people, all in pairs and perfectly separated for acceptable social distancing. And if that doesn't work for you ☎️??? for takeout!!!

Quick service. Food was good. Atmosphere is more like a pub than a nice seafood restaurant.
