This restaurant offers an excellent seafood experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the service is attentive without being intrusive.
The highlight of the visit was definitely the **lobster**. Perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor, it was clear that the ingredients are fresh and handled with great care. The seasoning enhanced the natural sweetness of the lobster without overpowering it, making it one of the best lobster dishes I’ve had in a long time.
The rest of the seafood was equally impressive, well-presented and rich in flavor. Portions were generous and the quality fully justified the price.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for **high-quality seafood**, especially if you’re a lobster lover. I will definitely be coming back.
Our server, Emilio, was excellent! He was friendly and went above and beyond to make our dining experience a treat. This has been one of our more enjoyable dining experiences this year.
What really stood out was how well he knew the menu, he gave awesome recommendations that we ended up loving. You can tell he actually cares about giving people a good experience, not just going through the motions.
However, the initial service was poor. We were seated and then completely ignored.
Thankfully, a kind waitress passing by another table noticed us and took our order with great professionalism.
Another downside was the strong smell of humidity in the restaurant, and the A/C was too low, making it uncomfortably warm.
The interior felt old and didn’t match the vibe you expect based on the restaurant’s name.
Overall, great food but the atmosphere and service need improvement.
My partner and I had an exceptional dining experience thanks to our waitress, Sara R. From the moment we were seated, Sara made us feel genuinely welcomed and well cared for. She struck the perfect balance between warm friendliness and professional attentiveness.
Sara took the time to walk us through the menu, offered great recommendations, and checked on us consistently without ever feeling intrusive. Every request was handled quickly and with a smile. She made sure our drinks were always full, our food arrived exactly as ordered, and that we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal.
What really stood out was how personally she treated us—she made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table. It’s rare to find someone who brings that level of genuine care and positive energy to their work, and it truly elevated our evening.
Thank you, Sara R., for making our visit so memorable. We’ll definitely be returning—and hoping to be seated in your section again!
