Started with the peel & eat shrimp, they were deveined, jumbo shrimp lightly seasoned with Old Bay and served with melted butter, not overcooked at all. The lobster and shrimp risotto was creamy, lobster was soft not chewy. And the shrimp and grits was also delicious I can see why it's a favorite. They also had margaritas specials on Thursday their house and hibiscus for only $6. Service was attentive and very knowledgeable on the daily specials, I will be back!

Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. Walking into the restaurant felt like stepping into New Orleans. The atmosphere is beautiful and full of character, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because a dog was allowed to walk through the restaurant to access the outdoor seating area. While I understand restaurants have different policies, I personally wasn't comfortable with that. Overall, though, the food and service were both excellent, and I'd definitely return.

We came when the restaurant opened during the week so we were seated right away and it wasn't crowded. There are several tables and spaces to sit inside of the restaurant. Our server, Ariel, was friendly & very attentive during our visit. The manager, Ravi, was also great. We both got a steak and I got the Mac & cheese for my side. The Mac & cheese was very cheesy as it contained multiple cheeses. We enjoyed it. My steak was also prepared well and was tender. The fries were served hot. It did take a little while for our food to be brought out to us but it was worth the wait.

It feels like a great spot for a date night, cocktails, or a slower dinner where you want the setting to feel a little elevated. We had the wagyu flat iron, cowboy pork chop, charred Brussels sprouts, and duck fat potatoes. The pork chop was the standout on the food side. It was flavorful, well-cooked, and had a good char. The wagyu, unfortunately, was not as tender or flavorful as I expected, especially for the price point, but the chimichurri helped a lot and brought the dish together. The Brussels sprouts were good, with nice texture and flavor. The potatoes were average to me, not bad at all, but not something I would necessarily rush back for. The cocktails were definitely a highlight. I had the barrel rested Vieux Carré, which was smooth and balanced, and the Bourbon Bramble was also very good. Both drinks felt well-made and matched the overall vibe of the restaurant. Overall, I would definitely go back, especially for the atmosphere, cocktails, and a date-night type of experience. The food was good overall, but for me the vibe and drinks were the main reason to return.

This was more than enough for 3 people. We opted for the "Big Bang," which is a combination of their Cajun, garlic butter, and lemon pepper sauces added to the boil. The flavor is amazing. Just a few minutes after we ordered, they brought out a big plastic bag with the boiled food inside. They also brought out bibs and disposable gloves, because eating this amazing seafood gets messy. The food is perfectly cooked and the portions are very generous. A note about the sausage. Words cannot describe how good it is with these sauces. Just amazing! We got a chicken tender basket with fries for my daughter. It was huge, and both the tenders and fries were great. I definitely recommend this restaurant as a great seafood place to try.

After a long and exhausting week, coupled with a craving for fried fish we elected to go here…read more While nicely decorated, the interior is small and can seat about 20 ppl or so. We sat outside this day, as the weather was mild and there wasn't any available seats inside. We ordered a fried combo and a grilled combo. TrySeafood does a lot of things right. Portion size was fairly generous. We especially love the fact they serve cleaned jumbo shrimp. Food was cooked well, shrimp was tender as was scallops. The broccoli was not tender crisp nor mushy. The potatoes and corn were delicious. While service was friendly, it was a bit slow. Also, I'm not an Old Bay fan. The grilled shrimp were seasoned with Old Bay. While the fish was crispy, I prefer a cornmeal dredge to a flour dredge. Finally, (and this could have been a me thing) the tip percentage on the screen doesn't align with the math. I intended to tip 15% - which is standard especially considering slow service. That should have been approx $8 and when I got home I realized it was approximately $16. You're not given a printed receipt and if you're in a rush and going through the process quickly it's easy to miss. Again I may have missed something, but I'm pretty sure I selected the %15 option. Additionally, I've seen other restaurants that have intentionally include this practice. Would I go again, sure. I'd request a different seasoning blend or a light seasoning and check that math!

We went with the Cajun wings and a seafood boil with king crab legs, shrimp, boiled eggs, potatoes, and corn. You can choose between different marinades and spice levels. We went with garlic butter and mild spice. I really wanted to try the shrimp fried rice but it was no longer available, I assume due to being sold out. Next time! Upon delivery, the food arrived very hot and smelled delicious. They ensure it's packaged so a leak doesn't occur. The wings were super crispy, flavorful, and delicious. The boil was a huge portion, truly fresh, flavorful, and delicious. You never know what you're going to get when you order seafood for delivery, but we were thoroughly impressed! The seafood boil and wings could feed two people I'd say. I can't wait to order again and absolutely will be. I will say the only downside is the price, it was about $160 for the boil and wings, but for a special occasion, absolutely worth it. I was debating between four and five stars but it was SO delicious and fresh, that I had to go with five.
