Reviews
It’s been many years since our last visit and we were so glad to find them still in business as a premier seafood eatery. We had tickets for a show at Van Wezel and Kacey’s is just 15 minutes away making it a perfect spot for dinner before the show. We got there on a Monday evening at about 5:00 and it was packed with a waiting list, but they just happened to have one open table for two and we were seated immediately. Some years back, they were one of the few places that offered whole belly clams, but they now only serve clam strips. Knowing that this is a class operation, I ordered them from the Starter Menu ($15.00). Perfect. A basket loaded with tender, thick strips of clam with a very light coating and deep fried expertly. Golden brown and delicious with a nice clammy flavor, moist and not even a little chewy. Served with a lemon wedge and a homemade tarter sauce. We loved them. My wife ordered the Crab Cakes from the Starter Menu ($15.00). She is a crab cake fiend and has tried many and these were top notch. Just enough fillers to hold an abundant amount of crab together as a cake, then seared on a flat top. Served artistically on a platter with Cajun remoulade that added just the right amount of extra flavor to the cakes. 2 cakes and all I got was one little taste. My wife really enjoyed them. She had a small House Side Salad ($6.00) with her cakes and it too was very good. The salad had a mix of greens, dried cranberries, shredded cheddar cheese and tomato and she added a flavorful raspberry vinaigrette dressing. I had the Steamed Mussels off the Starter Menu ($14.00). I suspect this was a pound of plump, moist mussels, swimming in a lemon-garlic wine sauce, joined with a couple pieces of garlic bread. The sauce was a nice change from the usual butter wine sauce that is often served with mussels. I left no mussel in it’s shell. This is a very popular restaurant as the patron flow was non-stop during our visit. I look forward to returning in the future.
As far as the food, it was fine, perfectly fine, but nothing to write home about. It all came off just a little plain and lacking in that hit of something that makes your eyes go wide at the first bite.
It’s okay, but not a place I’d really return to.
Server, Kinga, was excellent. Attentive and nice. Front-end manager did the business no favors. I was scolded for walking inside to ask for a table. When we let him know our confusion over the garlic in the Francaise he said he is not responsible for the kitchen- only the front end.
A mixed bag overall.
This is a seafood restaurant with a diverse, well‑rounded menu with plenty of options to satisfy many different tastes while still keeping the focus on quality ingredients and careful preparation with affordable pricing.
