    Ocean Platinum

    No wait and was sat in cold area but they were very willing to accommodate. Ordered half price appetizer of breaded shrimp which was very yummy and came with a tasty sauce. We ordered the Platinum Boil which was cooked perfectly. The corn was not mushy like at other places. We had a garlic butter and seasoning. Ordered mild and it was so yummy. It was busy and understaffed. When they brought the food ... we had to ask for silverware and plates, but they quickly provided. Waiter came to the table twice... but we really didn't need anything. In short... FOOD was excellent and nice portions. Service was polite, kind and willing... just understaffed for the night. It is New Year's Day too. We will definitely come back.

    I have been to this restaurant so many times in the past year. It's an hour and a half drive from where I live but the food and fast service is sooo worth it. They have the BEST seafood boils I've ever had and I travel a lot and tried so many boils so this is a big thing for me to say. I love the low country boil and they give you so much food for a great price! You can even ask for a side of the ocean juicy sauce to dip everything in. You must try this place!!

    This place may not look appealing on the outside but it was a nice surprise walking in! The decoration was nice and the service was friendly and great. We ordered calamari, seafood udon, ocean trifecta basket, shrimp basket, catfish po boy, philadelphia roll, and kani and cream cheese roll. I've had better calamari since I thought it was chewy but still edible. Everything else tasted freshly made! The sushi was a bit heavy on the cream cheese, but we enjoyed it. Definitely recommend dropping by for an affordable and delicious meal!

    The oysters weren't good at all. I would not recommend getting them. Usually we finish them all but I was afraid of them not being good for my stomach, they had a strange taste that wasn't good. The rest of the food was great. I had the sushi roll which was huge and delicious. I got 1 lobster tail and the snow crab. Which were both delicious. The miso soup wasn't great but it was on the house for us to try so that was nice of the waitress. I ordered the strawberry milk with boba and it was delicious. The potatoes and corn were great and I got the sauce that was all mixed together I was not disappointed. From the outside be warned it looks a little rough. But the inside is so gorgeous! I loved the ambiance to be honest! My friend got the gumbo and he enjoyed the meal. I'll definitely give this place another shot.

    Great place!!! We are traveling and chose this spot for dinner. It was five-ish (early) plenty of seating available. We were greeted immediately when we walked in and showing to a booth. Our waitress was super helpful and asked if it was our first time there, which we said yes, so she proceeded to review the menu in great detail. One side is all of their boils, which is basically different pieces of seafood in a bag along with Corn on the cob and potatoes. And then you pick your type of sauce which we chose garlic butter, and then you pick your spiciness level. There were plenty of options to choose from and she was very careful to point out that using the combinations or specials down the side of the menu really helped save money based on what you wanted to eat. The flipside of the menu is mostly sushi and appetizers. So we opted to go with a couple of sushi rolls, easy ones, California rolls and shrimp tempura roll and we chose the boil bag for $29 that had crab, muscles, shrimp, two corn cobs and two potatoes. It was more than enough food for both of us and we enjoyed it immensely. We did the simple garlic butter sauce with a medium spice level and it was perfect. We had a bib as things can get messy when you are pulling the crab out, what wipes to clean up and it was a perfect meal. The only disappointment is she explained that their liquor license had expired, so we had to settle for ice tea. Apparently they are getting that fixed! They have quite an ice bar so I imagine this is a bit painful for them. If we lived in the area we would be here quite often I can imagine! Prices were very reasonable, for all of the above we paid approximately $45

    This place is ridiculously good. We've eaten here several times, including twice with the new ownership. It's great quality and great value. Their seafood boils are to die for. The servers are helpful. And, it has a fun atmosphere. I like how they're prepared for me to be a messy slob.

    We drove an hour one-way in the rain just to fulfill our seafood cravings. It was so worth it. We ordered the number one ocean with an extra pound of headless shrimp an extra half a pound of black mussels with the ocean, juicy flavor, medium spicy, low sodium and some pasta, the service was excellent and very engaging our waitress, a lot of energy and was pretty funny. The ambience was bright, cherry and clean. It was overall good experience love coming to this place and will be back again soon.

    Great crab feast and was nice hot and juicy coming out. The environment was great but a few kids didn't seem to know how to behave. Not the restaurant fault. Soft shell crab was also really good

    Really hit the spot. I love crab boils but the wife always ends up just watching me eat while she nibbles on an order of fries or something. Well, she loves sushi so this place was a must try. Our waitress was Tracy and she was superb. I got a boil with Cajun seasoning and she suggested I combo it with the garlic butter and she was not wrong! Wife got sashimi and a roll and was very impressed... and she's pretty picky when it comes to her sushi. Tracy even tried to teach me the best way to eat crawfish (I failed) and suggested the best way to pick up my wife's sushi roll (slightly more success). We're definitely going back to try the specials and ask for the chef (Bob?) to make us something unique from up his sushi sleeve.

    Dinner with the family... no alcohol being served :(

The fries were too spicy to eat and sitting in deep oil (not chili sauce). Wanted ranch but nobody was around to serve us. Service: The waiter took our order then disappeared for the remainder of our time there. The bartender served our food, the disappeared. We had to flag someone down for condiments, napkins and silverware, a refill (not free, but didn't say as much), and our bill. The bill we received and the price they charged was at least $6 because they totally changed it when they scanned my credit card. Ambiance was ok. They had a band arriving. But no staff. An odd experience, probably won't go back given the extra charges on my credit card and lack of service.

We arrived right after the brunch rush which seemed like a more laid back time. The decor is fun and hosting large gatherings would be easy to do here, perhaps not for sports though as the TV situation would leave one disappointed. The drinks were good and our waitress seemed knowledgeable about the different brews. The food was edible but nothing special. The jerk flavor was no where to be found, the Tex-mex nachos looked promising but they too were lacking in flavor. The fries, could be cooked a bit longer. I would, however, recommend the chicken bowl.

Here are all the things that went right: - we were immediately greeted by the bartender Jackson and presented menus and water and told about the featured cocktails -as we were deciding what to drink, I noticed a pretty impressive coctktail list and a list of some very good, rich red wines -the Angel's Envy Bourbon Berry Smash was delicious..spoken by someone who normally doesn't like bourbon but wanted to try an Angels Envy bourbon drink that was not too sweet. I chose the raspberry rosemary syrup as the berry of choice. My boyfriend had a well made gin and soda. -nice to see there were appetizer and entree specials. Makes you want to come back to see what will be on the specials list each week in addition to a nice well-rounded menu -Jackson helped us select among multiple good sounding entrees. As a pescatarian I wanted a seafood dish and decided on the suggested seafood risotto. My date was between a couple of fish dishes but after a discussion with the bartender and a further description he decided on the Maui Mahi with coconut risotto. We chose to split a salad rather than have an appetizer. -the meal--the salad came out on two plates so we did not need to divide the spring mixed berry and goat cheese salad. It was delicious and fresh and definitely enough for two side salads. We were also provided some warm crusty bread with olive oil and balsamic. Our entrees were of good portion size, visually appealing and HOT---not just warm---which I greatly appreciated and talked about after we left. The risotto was prepared perfectly by someone who clearly knows how to make a proper risotto--it was not gluey and set-up, but perfectly tender and creamy. The seafood was delicious. The scallops were seared nicely and not overly salty (something many restaurants don't understand is that you typically don't have to salt shellfish as it is salty/briny on its own). My boyfriend's mahi was sizable portion on top of an ever so slightly sweet and spicy coconut risotto. His was fantastic as well. We also enjoyed the sautéed zucchini that came with both..also nice and hot! -we had a delicious bottle of wine with dinner. After we paid for dinner and left with our remaining wine, we promptly came back in because of the heavy downpour of rain. We sat back down and finished our wine. The things that could be ever so slightly improved: -the lighting in the dining area is fitting of the decor and vibe of a nicer restaurant but the lighting at the bar is just too bright. Could maybe benefit from dimming them and possibly adding a few candals oe the small table/rechargeable lamps along the bar as it seemed wide enough. -the shrimp on the risotto should be two larger shrimp (8-10 size ) rather than the very small shrimp that don't seem to fit the vibe of the dish -there were only two options for dessert...maybe another one or two would be great -a little birdie told us that the restaurant will be having a happy hour menu soon (and a second location). We would LOVE for you to add some truffle fries with some sort of aioli...we can envision ourselves stopping in for those and some wine...often! Great addition to the limited higher end restaurants in the area. We look forward to many more meals there.

My brother arranged their private room for our group of 13 and it was a great experience. It took a bit for them to make sure the room was ready, but it was so cozy and pretty. The "happy birthday" menus are a nice touch. We were also able to bring in our own cake/cupcakes. We ordered some appetizers for the table - calamari and spinach artichoke dip. They were both good but the spinach artichoke dip was my favorite. The calamari was cooked nicely but a little bland. The dipping sauces were nice and a good variety. For my entree, I went with the Market Catch - king ora salmon. You can choose from several different options and select your preferred cooking method. I went with broiled and asked for it medium rare. Our main meals all came out at staggered times, but it wasn't too bad. I really liked the mashed potatoes that came with my plate. The fish was a little under seasoned, but cooked pretty close to medium rare. The portion size was great for me. Others had the fish and chips, shrimp and crab tortellini, seared scallops and risotto, etc. The shrimp and crab tortellini looked especially delicious! I didn't hear any complaints about the meals. I did have a bite of the clam chowder and found the clam I had to be pretty chewy and tough.

Kid server recommended the Blue Punch and I ordered another Margarita Lime since it was Happy Hour on a Monday. I started off with a Philly Eggrolls...pretty mid...exactly what you'd expect out of a Sysco Catalog because c'Mon who in their right mind will hand roll a Philly Egg Roll...let alone trays upon trays everyday in the back kitchen. It was salty, and over powdered by wannabephillycheescakeness. Next the Raw Oysters...these were the highlight of the night...I know they may have been frozen..but in all honesty it's been 3 hours since I swallowed 6 oysters and I'm still alive. Probably the cocktails aided in killing any excess bacteria.. And onto the main entree, I went with their signature boil and just want to go on the record. The shrimps will taste better with head on. The crab legs were good. The thing I didn't feel was up to my expectations was their house sauce that they boil everything together in. It lacked a punch, it lacked flavor. There was an overall lack of Garlic, Lemon Zest, Lemon Pepper, White Pepper and Brown Pepper, and there was a lack of MSG, and also lack of cayenne peppers and ghost pepper powders. And because of this, I'm giving the Boil a grade of C. Service was A+ Cocktails were B+ Oysters were A Appetizers were C Boil was C So the average was 3.5 to 4 stars out of 5.
