Started with the yellowfin dip which was pretty good. I do wish they served it with something other than crackers in plastic packages (bread, cut veggies, anything) but I guess there is something classic about the fish house feel to it. Oysters Rockefeller were also good. Well seasoned, well grilled, and we had a dozen. Too much spinach and not enough cheese and shallots for my taste, but still a nice light meal for two. Service was, as in the first visit, fine but not super attentive. I received a refill on my water but wasn't really asked if I wanted to order more food until well into the meal. I'll chock that up to being left alone (which I like), but I still think this place is a little expensive for how little attention you get from servers. Overall, a pleasant early supper. Will most likely come back again and try some of the other grilled oyster dishes.

I had a spider roll and some salmon nigiri. Both were excellent and a couple local beers and I was on my way. It would be a great place to eat with family if they were in town for a college visit.

We decided to celebrate my birthday a little differently this year and skip the downtown crowds,…read moreopting instead for Milano's Italian Grill, and that turned out to be a great call. With a 20 mile hike ahead of me tomorrow, I figured loading up on carbs was not just justified, it was necessary. We have been here several times, and it truly never disappoints. Tonight was no exception. I did what I tend to do and over ordered. I went with a kids portion of spaghetti and meatballs along with my usual grilled salmon, and both were excellent. The portions were generous enough that I ended up taking about two thirds of the salmon home, which will make for a perfect Sunday lunch. My wife ordered the lasagna. While it was a bit on the soupy side, the flavor more than made up for it. It was still very enjoyable overall. The complimentary bread remains a highlight as always and is perfect for soaking up every last bit on the plate. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient, and the total bill came in under 50 dollars. In today's world, with gas pushing 4 dollars a gallon, that is hard to beat. We are leaving once again completely satisfied. Great food, a relaxed and quiet atmosphere, and none of the chaos from downtown. It makes you wonder if the crowds have figured out how good this place is yet or if they are all still on the other side of the river.

Me and C obliged, but should have turned around immediately. That shit doesn't work out well for me, so I just go with it now. Bright lights, hard floors, cheap everything, including the food. Stiff no on all. Busted ass kitchen you can see spilling into the hallway and dining room. We got food at the hotel bar later. I think a lot of people are being too nice or have no idea what good food should taste like, the appropriate texture certain dishes should be, and what decent food tastes like. Tuscaloosa is a good food dessert! Please step up and recommend a place to prove me wrong, because this place sucks for restaurants. The calamari was the worst I've had. Kiddo is used to it being at least ok. Bad. All of the entrees sucked as well. All of them. No real reason to keep bashing. Look at my pictures. Have a good day. ' 25 - excess

Joe is a local guy who has been selling fresh seafood this way for lots of years. I found him to be helpful and honest about what he is selling. I bought a 2 Lb. bag of large shrimp to cook on the grill and they were GREAT!! Next weekend I might go for Grouper and/or Trigger Fish!

It's highly recommended for people who hate making decisions. There's only 5 staple appetizers & 5 dinner choices. They have a special everyday so you actually have 6 choices but keep that a secret. It's a great surprise. We had the Saturday special was grilled Snapper with rice/or substitute & spinach/ or substitute & salad.
