The menu changes from time to time, I've seen and tasted great appetizers like blistered shishito peppers, butter bean hummus, grilled octopus and beyond. For dinner and for me, sorry folks, it's Oysters. They always have an amazing, fresh selection of wonderful oysters from east and west. The service staff is always great and full of southern hospitality. 9/10 of the time I sit outside in the back, it's covered, and heated when cool or fanned when hot.

Nestled inside of King Canary Brewing (Davidson location), Marlee Jeans is a fresh casual fare…read moreseafood restaurant with options for those allergic to seafood. Chef Erick + team take every measure to prevent cross contamination for those with allergies - whether seafood or gluten. I also love the way their set up is: order your drinks from king canary, order your food from the Marlee Jeans side. It's perfect for gathering with a group as they give you a number tent and the server/food runner brings you the food as soon as it is prepared. In my opinion, this prevents food from sitting in the windows and getting cold cause "it's not my table." The concept of gathering your own utensils (not plastic) is spot on as it allows those who only want to drink and sit and socialize not feel pressured to order a full sit down meal, thus washing cutlery that's never been used. For this most recent visit, I took advantage of their snow-weather special: $30 for 1 dozen raw oysters as well as their lobster Mac and cheese. Coming out hot and bubbly with a cheese crust, I had to wait for the Mac and cheese to cool off to eat. I sat at the raw bar and watched Chef Erick personally shuck my oysters. My short rib quesadilla was just as flavorful though I think I prefer the short rib panini instead.

Unfortunately this is my second time trying Marlee Jean's, and my second disappointing experience…read more This time I got the Lobster Roll and the Chicken Wings. I am a Lobster Roll enthusiast, I have eaten Lobster Rolls from every north east coastal state and everywhere else I go - if there's a Lobster Roll on the menu there's a good chance that's what I'm getting. Unfortunately this one was one of my least favorites. There was no hint of sweetness, it was bitter and overly seasoned. The lobster meat itself was fine although I had to pick shell out of my mouth 3 different bites, and the flavors were just off to me. The roll was good, but we all know the star of the show is the lobster and it was just not doing it for me. The wings were dry. That's basically a deal breaker right off the bat, if the chicken isn't tender and juicy it's hard to enjoy them. I also had multiple flats with broken bones. I got the Cajun dry rub which was pretty good, but on a overly cooked dry wing it ends up overwhelming. You need a juicy wing to complement a strong seasoning. My first experience was right after they opened maybe a year ago or so, so I wanted to give them another try. Maybe they do good stuff with other dishes based on the reviews, but my experiences have been underwhelming.

Fantastic! Probably…read moreone of my favorite meals I've had in NC! Service was amazing from the host to the server. Everyone was amazing! Having never been there we relied on the server and he came through! He said he got us and surprised us with all amazing dishes from the apps to the main. Had the oysters - both steamed and Rockefeller and both were delicious! Awesome choice! For the entree my buddy had the stuffed cod and he said it was good! He also had the lobster risotto and the lobster loaded mashed potatoes. He said everything was amazing! I had the fried lobster and shrimp with the lobster bisque. The bisque was good with slightly too much sherry but after awhile you didn't even notice. Good sized chunks of lobster throughout an silky smoothie! Fantastic! The fried liver and shrimp were breaded and cooked perfectly! Nothing dry and everything perfectly moist. This place is a must try! If you're in the area and hesitant, don't be. It's fantastic! Great food and great vibes!

You can get flounder, shrimp, catfish, oysters... it's the normal seafood restaurant. It's a big space and we've actually had parties up to 16. Service is always great, even with a large party.

I visited here over the holiday and was immediately excited, as the entrance provides a view into the kitchen, so you're able to see how precise every cook is about the food that's being served. We were seated towards the back which provided a more intimate vibe - much appreciated. Our server was pleasant and well-informed on both the history of the place and the food menu. As other reviews have pointed out, it's a seafood spot but you have options if your tastebuds call for something else. From the oysters to the main dish - EVERYTHING was great! I've put this place on my list of spots to keep in rotation, because it sincerely is that good! Make a reservation and go check them out!
