NO THANKSwe saw the sign for happy hour and decided to give this place a try.HH drinks were available, but not food. (why?)we ordered from the menu and the food was decent.while there, there were people who did not want to pay their check. the police were called and we witnessed drama the entire time.the manager, Justin remained professional but there was tension a when one of the women's husband came back, he was shouting and we weren't sure what would happen next.I like my drama on TV...

The food and service at this establishment was exceptional.. The hostess named Casey was phenomenal. She was pleasant, funny, knowledgeable and attentive. She recommended the lobster and shrimp and it was a fantastic choice. The meal was served hot and was filling. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious seafood dinner with friendly service. If you decide to dine here, ask for Casey, you won't be disappointed!!!

Ive come here once before when in Staten Island and dined in with a great experience with my husband. We ordered to go last night and the food was horrible definitely a different cook. Ordered two chicken wing combo,not only did they put the seasons on the side but they forgot our fries on both orders. Also ordered the real catch, just tasted so Blain. Looking for a new seafood spot when in town..

Two stars only for the friendly service.Food itself is only 1 star though. If you have never been to a good Cajun seafood boil spot, maybe you would like it. We were visiting from Chicago, and everywhere we go in Chicago it’s always good so we thought it would be the same. We weren’t even planning on getting seafood, we were there for wingstop but saw the place and decided to give it a try.Wow what a disappointment. Seafood itself seemed fresh but there was barely any sauce. The manager/host guy said the special sauce was good and we got that with 3 lbs of crawfish and 2 clusters of snowcrab legs. Did a to go order and paid $80+. The sauce which they claimed was the best was no where near anything flavorful, just super salty. And again there was barely any on the actual food to begin with. We’re used to having our seafood slathered with flavorful Cajun sauce and still have left over sauce to dip bread in, if we want to.I reaaaally wanted to like the place because the service was good, but I was let down. Please try to improve your sauce and give more sauce.

Gotta say that Aaron provided my girl and I great service, the food was great, the desserts are great. Definitely gonna come here often and y’all should definitely consider giving Aaron a raise. Anyways this place is a 10 outta 10 ??

Absolutely LOVE this restaurant. The servers are amazing. The cooks are amazing. The food is always PHENOMENAL!!!!!

I was excited to go here because I love seafood boils. My overall experience was good. My only issue was they forgot my son’s order. I was told they would comp it due to the mistake but I was charged for his food anyway. Overall, the food was delicious. The atmosphere was nice.

Perfectly done scallops - they are very easy to over cook but mine were perfect. Very fast and attentive service. I ordered the seasoning as 'spicy' which was just enough bite but not a kick

We always order seafood here. but yesterday i ordered for my family. I also ordered extra sauce and paid $ 18 for the extra cajun sauce but they only sent seafood with butter sauce and I had to make my own sauce. Terrible service I never go back.

Very good food, they nailed the white clay chowder. Reasonable prices with high quality a good mix
