Update after 3 years ago, front of house UNACCEPTABLE!!! 2 men, no greeting, no smile, acted like they didnt want to be bothered. Had reservations, ignored us, let others get seated who came after us. Gave no updates while we waited and then gave away the table that was promised to us. Almost turned around and left thinking possible discrimination. Stayed only because of female front of house who seated us and was apologetic and accommodating. Rest of night, though food came out slow was excellent only because of the waiter. He made the night right with sincere care and attention, so the bitter taste from front of house didnt last. If it wasnt for him and the lady who seated us, we would never be back, especially when food was inconsistent; some loved their dish, others not at all.
3 years ago. great clams, good ceasar salad. all entrees good except one fish entree that was unfortunately overcooked. vast selection of wines and cocktails. amazing professional service!

Update: Came back here after a while for a Saturday night dinner. Was lucky to find a reservation for 2 within half an hour from our dinner time. The restaurant was kind enough to accommodate one extra guest with us, our uninvited 3 y/o :p
The restaurant was as usual very clean, it looked much nicer than what I remember. Our server was a pro and assisted us for a wonderful dinner.
We started with our fav grilled octopus. It was cooked really good, not burned or over grilled. The sauce and vegetables were complementary to the dish. I got the Bronzino for entree. It was so delicious, baked/grilled to perfection. I ate the whole thing within minutes. The vegetables and mash potatoes were delicious sides.
We got a side of shrimp fried rice, it looked really nice but taste was underwhelming. Maybe a better quality rice would enhance it.
I got couple of mocktails, guava and strawberry. Both were really good. Guava was more sweeter than strawberry.
Overall I had a wonderful dinner. The food was served so quick, I was amazed. I always had good experience this place.
Original (2019): Changed my rating to 5. In my next visit, the lamb chops and Shrimp grits melt my heart.
It’s a very good seafood place but I didn’t like their steak. We tried their Seafood dish of the day that came with 6 oz lobster tail, shrimp, and scallops, all of that tested great. But my 10 oz filet mignon was kinda dry. I saw another customer sending back half of her steak too. They have a really cool dessert item named ‘Alaska’ something. They pretty put a cake on fire with Rum. Awesome! The service is good and the restaurant looks very nice. Totally recommend except their steak.

Carla our server was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable of the entire menu past, present and future. She knew every drink…so kind and warm she made me feel like I was right at home.
The food was delicious. The shrimp n grits were good but the crab cake was the star for me. Plan on going back for my anniversary.

I don’t even know where to start the service is absolutely amazing. The staff is attentive to the needs of the customer as soon as you walk through the door. The food and drinks were absolutely to die for. But let’s get into this key lime pie God bless whoever made it. This is by far the best key lime pie I had in my life. The slice was enough to enjoy at the restaurant and still have some to enjoy at home.
I want to express gratitude to the staff that exudes true customer service that made my experience in Atlanta amazing

Hubby made reservations about 2 weeks before Valentine’s Day. The day before, he got a call about putting down a credit card to hold the reservation since it’s a holiday… We’ve never heard of this, and we’ve been to many high-end restaurants, especially during the holidays. He said what they would do with the credit card #. She said they would charge $50/person if we didn’t show up… again, we’ve never heard of this… he said no, he will not leave a card# expecting her to cancel, but she said it’s ok, I will confirm your reservation…… So if you were going to confirm the reservation anyways then why bother asking for a credit card? And who would actually leave their credit card then??? I’m so confused about this whole situation …
Anyways I was half expecting them to turn us away when we showed up for our reservation. LOL. But we were shown to a table. Our waiter was polite. We got bottled water and the bread and veggie platter (this was not complementary). Hubby got Guava Daiquiri, and I got a Ginger Ale. We ordered the Grilled Octopus to start, and Hubby saw Surf and Turf and didn’t read any further. LOL. Chicken Fried Lobster caught my eye. This was an unusual find. hehehe. But I had a few questions that our waiter patiently answered. Got a side of Lobster Mac.
Guava Daiquiri – was tasty, and I don’t drink 😀
Bread and Veggie Platter – Hubby liked the bread, but it was too hard for me… the veggies were a waste of money… 🙁 Iced cold and raw with nothing to dip or any dressing. Hubby did enjoy the olives and I the banana peppers. Was expecting a plate of Giardiniera, though 🙁
Grilled Octopus – flavor was good, but it was so chewy… I know octopus is chewy, but I’ve ordered it at many restaurants and some that were not “seafood restaurant,” and they somehow made the Octopus not only flavorful but butter soft.
Surf and Turf – the steak was Wagyu, so it was butter soft, and the Lobster was ok, very plain.
Lobster Mac – you can even see it in the pic that there was not enough cheese to make it creamy delicious… it was like pasta with some cheese on top and very little lobster…
Chicken Fried Lobster – I’ve never seen this anywhere, so it was interesting… I don’t hate it, but I also didn’t love it. The crust was crispy, but the lobster felt mushy… I don’t know if maybe the lobster was not fresh, or that’s just what happens to lobster when deep fried?
For the price we paid, I really expected to be wowed, but alas, it was mediocre at best… Plenty of other great restaurants out there. I don’t see a reason to come back…

My sister goes here every week because they send her coupons, she took me here because I came in for a visit and the food was good. The service was good. The dessert was good. My brother in law parked on the upper level, and we walked through the mall, because in front on the restaurant was always very busy. Though the restaurant wasn’t busy. I was given a large piece of salmon with sauce on the side. We had to get side dishes because that’s all the entree had on it, as you can see in my photo.
I would go back.

We were pleased to discover this location on our recent NY/NJ trip. It is the fourth location we have dined at. They were having a special 4th of July $70 Fix Prix for two, including a house wine. Well, I was prepared to spend a lot more but the choices offered for the three courses appealed to us. So we ordered it and it was superb! And the service was too!

Most delicious food I have ever had. oysters were excellent so fresh and you could taste the ocean. Also the crab cakes was so juicy. lobster pasta is something you should have. It was on the sides section but is a huge portion. Steak and shrimp also delicious. Our server was Shane, very attentive and he explained and helped to recommend food. Highly recommend this place if you want to spend evening with you loved ones and have excellent food. Every cent was worst to spend there. I would go back whenever I have a chance.

Terrible service the waitress took our order and disappeared we had a hard time having our cocktail order placed the food was so so we were all shocked the manager never came around we just saw him chatting with the young girls. I actually have a Landry card and was never asked to apply it for points after spending over $638.00 on four of us you think they would ask I mean I totally did not know this restaurant was involved in the group anyway the dessert is my favorite look @ my pic of the Baked Alaskan .

Lost a star because we felt they were a little short staffed that night. When we did have service, there server was polite and professional. Had a couple of fun drinks. Surprise tasty dish was the chicken fried lobster. As bonus it came with truffle mashed potatoes. Saw someone order the baked Alaska so we had to try ourselves. Others saw our order and then they ordered also.
