I was SO excited to get food from here, being a major seafood lover. I thought about splurging on the $50 lobster tail, crawfish, and snowcrab combo but I've been splurging a lot on seafood lately and decided it wasn't a good idea, especially at a new (to me) restaurant-THANK GOD I didn't. I went for a crawfish and black mussels combo instead. By the way, do NOT get the "mini" combo, get the "make your own combo" instead. I created the EXACT SAME combo on the make your own as I was going to get on the mini combo, I mean literally the exact same items and the exact same size too, and it was $7 less. What a rip off! Good thing I checked before just blindly ordering. But either way it was a total waste of money. Sadly, the food was inedible. It was seriously that bad. The seafood didn't taste fresh at all. The crawfish, instead of having a delicious sweetness as good crustaceans all have, it was fishy and almost metallic tasting. The mussels tasted pasty and mealy and also had that weird metallic off flavor, almost as if they were canned (they weren't, but that's how they tasted). This seafood MUST have been frozen to be so disgusting tasting and flavorless. I also got the house sauce, which is a combination of all the sauces, which you'd think would be flavorful, right? Wrong. I actually mulled over it for a while trying to decide between that, the garlic butter, and the Cajun sauce, worried that the house sauce would be TOO flavorful and overpower the delicate flavors of the seafood. Turned out that wasn't a problem at all as the sauce was bland as hell and did nothing to mask the awful taste. I usually will eat at least half of an order that I'm not totally satisfied with, this-I couldn't eat at all. I felt like Gordon Ramsay on kitchen nightmares. I'm sad to leave this review but it was THAT bad. I had to throw out $30 worth of seafood as I didn't even feel right to offer it to my roommates. It's one thing when seafood comes slightly under or over-cooked, or a bit under or over-seasoned, or maybe not off-the-boat fresh, but this was something else entirely. COMPLETELY inedible. I mean it was really so bad. I LOVE mussels and crawfish and I know what they should taste like, and the only way it could end up tasting like this is if it's been frozen for ages. Yuck. I really wasn't expecting this given the high rating this place has. Two other seafood restaurants that I order from regularly (Legal Seafoods and Davenport's) are both rated in the 3's and yet are MILES ahead of this place with fresh delicious seafood consistently, especially legal seafoods which shockingly has a 3.3 rating on here (is it the service? because the food is divine), so I was really expecting some delicious seafood from this place. I've included a picture, it LOOKS good, it even smelled good! So the taste when I bit into it was the last thing I was expecting. Again, frozen frozen frozen and BLAND! Thankfully ubereats refunded me. I don't know if it was a fluke night or what, but given that the seafood was very clearly frozen (for a while at that) I don't think that could possibly be the case. The only thing I can think of is either they ran out of fresh seafood (I did order late) or they have just gone seriously downhill lately, but if it's the former scenario, they shouldn't stock frozen seafood at all and should instead order better. If they end up having too much to sell in one day, seafood is still fine to use the next day if properly refrigerated. If they're ordering more than that, well, then they really just need to learn to order the proper volume for their business. There is NO excuse for frozen seafood, especially not in a place that specializes in seafood! I wouldn't mind paying a little more, or getting a little less, for food that I can actually eat and enjoy. If it's the latter scenario, well then that's just sad. I'm not sure I'd even give this place a second chance given how bad my first experience was. I guess I'll just have to find another place to get seafood boil from. This place has the unfortunate "achievement" of having served the worst restaurant food I've tasted in many, many years. Not even just out of seafood or Cajun restaurants, I'm talking in general. A seafood restaurant should never serve frozen seafood, period, but this stuff tasted like it was not only frozen but freezer burned and stored in the freezer for several months at minimum. Just horrid. I tend to like to give places a second chance but this was so awful that unless I find out that they're under new ownership or something, I do not see that happening. I work too hard for my money and there are too many excellent seafood restaurants around to bother. read more
