    They always have fresh ingredients. Best dumplings in the area. We love China Express. One of our favorites for 10+ years.

    Fried rice was not bad, just a little bland for me. I'm sure if I had not eaten anything for days, it would've tasted amazing.

    $7.63 buys you a lot of bad food. I should have taken the hint when I walked in and not a soul was in sight, not even the employees.

The drinks were excellent but sad to say the female bartender was nasty. I can't believe how a person in her position could be so rude. You can't sit at the bar, you can't speak to the bartender, can't ask a question, you'll be ignored and lots of dirty looks. So bizarre. Not sure what the issue is there. On a good note, they were able to seat a big group, food and drinks satisfactory, and our waiter was wonderful!

The place was busy but soon started clear of the lunch crowd. Turns out It was actually a nice time to go. Our server was Riley and she took good care of us. The menu is extensive so be prepared to be indecisive. Everything looked really good though. Some items we got were better than other unfortunately. Fish and chips- the fish was plentifully but the batter was hard and not seasoned well and the tartar sauce was not tartar sauce. Burger and fries- missing seasoning Seafood platter- seasoning was a miss Hush puppies- more flour than cornflour so a soft puppy and again seasoning was off. Zuppe di Pesci- excellent pasta, sauce was salty and seafood was cooked great. Kids tenders- good Overall, the experience was good. Would return and try different things. Wish the seasonings were on point but perhaps it was the time of day but we can try again.

    I have been so delightfully surprised by the food, service and ambiance at Seaboy. I have looked at…read moretheir menu multiple times debating whether I would enjoy the food. Finally Seaboy was chosen for a girls night and I went open minded. - The grill oysters, 5/5: just amazing, with my favorite being the creole flavored. I could eat 10 as a snack. I've been dreaming about the oysters. - Fried fish Cheek, 5/5: tender, flaky, great crunchy breading and not heavy. - Tuna Crudo, 4/5: as someone who is usually not a fan of raw fish, the flavor on this one makes me bypass the raw texture. Great hint of spice and nice freshness with the oranges. - Lamb Ragu, 4/5: homemade pasta and tender lamb. - Croquettes, 5/5: just tasty - Scallop Toast, 2/5: hard to taste any scallops and felt very oily. - Octopus, 2/5: our plate had 3 nice sized pieces, was cooked nicely but not much flavor. - Banana Bread dessert, 5/5: great texture and just delicious - Key Lime dessert, 5/5: deconstructed and just fresh and different. The service is top notch, attentive and friendly. I've been here 2 times in a month and it is packed every day of the week. There was a slight mix up with our oyster order which we didn't care about because we were in a deep yap session but they ended up comping our least favorite item ordered because they said we were chill overall which surprised us because all we said was it wasn't our favorite. Very excited that this place is close by and that the food lives up to the hype!

We started with the oyster shooters and they were great. The brussel Sprouts were on point. Not sure what it's called but we had a salmon and clams small dish that was awesome. The Lamb Ragu was amazing, and even my friend who usually doesn't like the smell of some lamb cooking liked it. For the large plate we got the scallops on risotto and loved every bite. Finally we got the key lime pie dessert and loved it. Everything is awesome here from the ambiance, vibe, food, and service. Perfect!

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!

    I made the mistake of giving this place a THIRD try but it was not a charm. Based on the reviews I…read morewas sure I just had it wrong but this place is terrible. The food cannot be fresh. It looks like something direct from US Foods and thrown in a fryer. The service and the restaurant policies are so opposite of customer focused. They do not have outdoor service even though they have about 15 tables out. Apparently those are for "waiting" for an inside table. We brought our dog so planned to sit outside as we had done before. No longer an option but you can order to go. I was exhausted so and just wanted a nice dinner I didn't have to cook so I ordered to go. However, you cannot eat your food at their "waiting" tables. After we received our to go order I was told I had to move to a different area to eat the food: All of though the tables outside were open. The hostess should get an award for smiling while being so rude. Oh and someone came in with a service dog that was questionable at best; however, the person showed the service dog card at which point the hostess asked what service the dog performed (has she heard of HIPPA?). Find another place if you want good food or service.

Located right on Lake…read moreNorman, the scenery is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here--it's the kind of place where the sunset almost makes you forget you're reading a menu the size of a phone book. The inside was decorated in a fun lake theme! Red flag alert: the menu is massive. I'm a firm believer that no kitchen can master everything from A to Z, and Toucan's kind of proves the point. It was "just okay," maybe as much as good but not quite GREAT but the Shrimp Platter actually held its own! The shrimp were huge, well-seasoned, and the rice and beans were a surprising highlight. The real MVP of the night, though, was our waitress. Managing a party of 15 is usually a recipe for disaster, but she was a total pro. Every order was correct, the food arrived hot, and our drinks never hit empty. Go for the lake vibes and the stellar service, stay for the shrimp, but maybe keep your expectations for the rest of that giant menu in check. A solid choice for a big group outing!

The cocktails looked refreshing, but overall were just okay taste-wise. Food was decent, nothing bad but nothing that really stood out either. Service was unfortunately the biggest downside. We waited quite a while for someone to greet us outside, even though there were only a couple other tables. I finally went inside to find a server and noticed the staff all gathered together while there weren't any tables inside. Overall, I'd come back for the view and atmosphere, but not necessarily for the food, drinks, or service.

They do take reservations, but there is also bar area seating that is open to first come first served. We did have reservations and they were quick to seat us.

Not certain which part front or back nine it sits on but the back of the establishment has a spectacular view of golfers out there doing their thing.
