The first Tim I had the red snapper it was excellent. I don’t the the same person was cooking yesterday because it was awful.

Horrible and rude waitress from the start. I ordered a ribeye medium rare and twin lister tail. Steak was cooked well done and I told our waitress it was wrong and she just mumbled something. I told her I would go ahead and keep it. I went for the lobster later and that's when I found out I only had one lobster tail. I told her and she said she would find out I asked her for some garlic butter and I'm still waiting for that.my vegetables were raw and we're supposed to be grilled. The only lobster that I did get was uneatable. It had so much garlic powder are something on it. I asked to see a manager and she said there wasn't one. I told her I wasn't happy with this and she just left altogether and left us twiddling our thumbs.i finally did see her and had to call her out to bring my ticket. She brought it and again wouldn't come and get it. Finally another woman who works there came walking buy and I demanded that she take the money so I could leave.a long long time went buy and then the lady that took our money came back and said they didn't have change for a hundred and they had to go get it somewhere. Now the original waitress finally shows back up with the change and hands it to me and just walks off. She's already at another table when I finish counting the money and see that it's short. I didn't leave a tip. So again I had to call her out in front of the only two other tables about being short changed. She didn't even know how much our ticket was I had to tell her and she came over and paid the difference. We all three stayed there for a while visiting. I think maybe 10 minutes may have gone buy when another woman bursted up to our table and starting telling me how I shouldn't be rude to there waitress.i don't have a clue who that was but I must honestly say I got very rude after that. You can't make this up.i asked that woman if she was out of her mind. I'm still In shock over what happened there. I had gave it good review till that happened. I will never go there again. When a restaurant is really good I'll leave 30 40 dollars. Shrimp boat owes me money.

We joined another couple for drinks & appetizers about 3pm. We had quesadillas, cheese sticks, chicken wings & chicken tenders. The food was delicious. The restaurant is well known for good sea food we eat there frequently when in Odessa.

Waited 55 minutes for our main order. Appetizers were great, waited 30 minutes for them. Ordered the sampler but got 3 full appetizers instead. Paid for it because that's what we got. Left paying over $100 and will not go back. Service was subpar and tea tasted old. Went right before noon on a Saturday.

Very good. Had the Ribeye and Shrimp. Waitress was awesome and the hot soup was great!

Everything tasted so delish.

Fantastic place good food clean and healthy atmosphere is great friendly employee's clean bathrooms with the restaurant very healthy and comfortable clean this is a two thousand mile road trip what a Dimond in the west Texas ruff. Very knowledgeable and consistent in food preparation and good quality healthy food served by a fantastic head chef every time is always good with person with food allergies the chef is extremely sensitive to dietary needs. Think about a hamburger and fresh with drink that is $15-$20 when you can eat better for the same good eats More to come

The food is so good? and our Server was the best made our dinner top notch? Blackened Mahi was excellent and my Husbands spicy Snapper was cooked to perfection.

First timer! It was my Bday so we were a large party. The food was great! Our server was very nice and attentive. I really enjoyed myself. Thank you! Will definitely be returning!

I had a 10-ounce sirloin special. Tasted pretty good and came with a salad bar, mixed grilled veggies, and a potato choice.The server was great and the drinks were perfect.The steak was a little overcooked but tasted good.Wish the fries were not frozen.
