Reviews
Drinks were presented well, and they had a local draft beer for me to try. We asked the server to set us up with all the locally caught types of oysters that they had on their menu that evening, and she took care of us. All were really mild and very tasy. The shrimp corndogs were a good novelty, and the tuna Tartare was great! My blackened swordfish was presented in a sauce that enhanced the flavor of the fish. The fresh catch was presented similarly, but over a bed that included vegetables. The seafood platter was a lot of food, plenty left over to take home. Dessert was exceptional. Key Lime was creamy and tart, and the chocolate torte was sticky and chocolate in all the right ways.
The crab cakes with mash potatoes were bigger than I expected. The mash was a touch too salty for me, on top of the already savory crab cakes and sauce so it was a little over powering although the flavors were good. My favorite dish was the risotto with seared scallops. They had the perfect sear and texture along with the creamy risotto. Our server checked on us from time to time but we didn’t converse with her much. We didn’t get offered anything for her bday and it wasn’t a super special experience but the service was still good in terms of how everything was paced and our waters stayed refilled.
The staff are friendly but seemed confused a little, perhaps because they had just opened up, not sure.
The seafood tower was good but not great. Some of the shrimp were mushy and over cooked. The fish sandwich (not shown), was good, however it seemed to take a time to bring to the table, that was ok, but then the French fries came separately and 10 minutes later, so I guess the kitchen messed up.
The shrimp corn dogs were good and worth ordering. They have a nice oyster bar and the oysters on the tower seemed fresh and good flavor.
