    The food was amazing. Our waitress was wonderful. Extremely attentive and couldn't do more for us. We celebrated 2 birthdays and got 2 fabulous pieces of cheesecake for dessert.

    The fish and shrimp were fresh and were nicely fried. I would assume with panko batter. A place for family to come with children. Would probably work best on the noise levels if the patio is available.

    Best fried shrimp in town. Ceviche, crab pops, and boiled shrimp are fantastic.

    The food was ok, nothing to write home about. The service was as good as the food. Everyone was nice enough when we were able to get their attention but it seemed a lot like a self-service type of food establishment. We had reservations but were sat outside on the bar patio where no one waited on us. There was an outside band playing which was nice. We had to place out order at the bar and had no server to check on us, so if we needed anything during our meal we had to go up to the bar wait in line, and ask, same to pay.

    Incredibly happy with the service and food. Party of 2 & we started with bloody Marias & boudin balls which were sooo good! We both ordered crab legs that were DELICIOUS! Will definitely be back for more.
