    The service was good food was excellent server did a amazing job I see a lot of complaints about the bathroom I smell nothing a matter of fact what I seen was lazy customer not putting there paper towels on the floor instead of the 2 garbage cans in the bathroom which I pick up myself and the bathroom look clean. Thank you for serving my family I will visit again Table D 6. Lilli server

    1/2 lb shrimp

    This review is solely based on the food, I did not go into the restaurant as this was an order placed online. The food arrived still very hot. I ordered the 1/2 shrimp boil with potatoes and corn and one order for the hush puppies. My family and I really enjoyed them and their tartar sauce was very tasty. My shrimp boil was perfectly seasoned, but next time I would get their medium spice level, as the mild was too mild for my preference. I feel the value is great for the amount of food you get. I would definitely order again and try a different flavor combination.

    Nothing remarkable ... our server was a nice guy but the seafood boils were VERY salty. Almost too salty to eat. We ordered two seafood boils with shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and lobster tail. We also had a deep fried oyster appetizer and that was actually good. The restrooms were horrible and looked like public gas station restrooms. I let our server know that they were in bad condition and someone could get hurt if they slipped on what appeared to be urine on the floors; and he politely said he'd get someone in there. There's only two bathrooms, both gender neutral, yet one had a urinal and the other didn't. Again, he was a nice guy. However, the bathrooms looked like no one regularly cleaned them. They were very dirty and smelled, it wasn't a good look for them... being that they advertised themselves as "NEW Grand Opening". We were only in the area for a volleyball tournament so we aren't local to Lodi. We found this place on Yelp and decided to try based on the positive reviews. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend nor return. Two stars for the oyster appetizer and the friendly service.

    Stopped for lunch today. The restaurant was not crowded. Got seated right away and got out order taken quickly. The place was clean and well kept. I had the shrimp basket lunch w:fries and my wife had the same with sweet potatoe waffle fries. We also order a side of hush puppies which were yummy. Overall a great experience!

    First time visiting since it opened. The restaurant is nicely decorated in a marine theme. We were greeted and were promptly sat in a booth. We had the hush puppies for appetizers; I recommend them. For the main course l, we ordered the crab and shrimp combo with corn and potatoes. Everything came steaming hot but delicious. They provide you with all the equipment for the job: bib, gloves, seafood cracker and napkins. They have a variety of seasonings (the house one has everything in it). There are also different levels of heat (spice) for everyone's taste. It was a fun dining experience and we definitely left with full stomachs. Thanks to our server Moses who was very attentive and kind. Check it out !

    Chicken Tender Basket
    Nishalina B.

    Food was good. Service was great. I would definitely go back. I got a seafood bag with house flavor- medium. Wasn't too spicy, good flavor. I would try hot next time. Cajun fries were good. Calamari was good. Ordered chicken tenders basket but was too full to try it. The only thing I don't like, is they stop sitting people at 9pm. A few days ago I went to dine in for the first time and they said I couldn't after 9pm so I left.

    Mediocre at best. The food was very bland to Me. It lacked any really favor. I was a bit disappointed. It was also like warm. I also ordered calamari, it was fried so hard into the point it wasn't edible. The waiter was great. He was attentive and sweet. The restaurant was very clean the music was very family friendly.

    Calamari and fries

    Great place. Books have good seasoning and come out hot and fast. Calamari and fries were delicious too! Medium heat perfect

    Crab legs, corn, potatoes, shrimp.
    Val S.

    Came here for dinner with my husband and daughter and overall had a really great experience. We ordered "Combo C" with one pound of crab legs and added two pounds of headless shrimp, which also came with corn and potatoes. We also got steamed white rice, hush puppies, and calamari on the side. The restaurant is located in a large strip mall with plenty of parking, and inside has a cute beachy/ocean vibe. The space was very clean and comfortable. The seafood boil came out piping hot and was absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. The steamed rice was fluffy and paired really well with the seafood, and we enjoyed the hush puppies too. The one thing we didn't care for was the calamari. Unfortunately, it was extremely tough and chewy, which made it hard to eat, so we wouldn't order that again. The wait staff was friendly and on top of things throughout our meal, which we appreciated. Overall, I think this place has the best seafood boil in the area, especially for the price - you get a lot more food here compared to other local seafood boil spots. We'll definitely be back!

    Amazing food. It was my first time trying this place. My parents brought me and my gf here to try the new seafood spot in town and we loved it. Great customer service and so much parking. The environment was really chill and it is a good size restaurant for the 209 area. We got the Family Special deal, Garlic Noodles, Cajun wings and Hush Puppies. Great place to celebrate any special occasion. Highly recommend this spot!

    The service was good, 1st time here. The prices are not that bad either. Right amount of seasoning on the seafood we ordered. Some places are smothered in so much salt it makes your head hurt but they were yums. Def will be back

    Fried calamari- extra crispy and delicious!
    Meghan B.

    So happy to finally have a crab boil place in Lodi! Went for an early dinner on 4/1. They weren't busy and we were sat quickly. The server was friendly enough and the food and drinks came out quickly. We ordered fried calamari and the family meal. For the seafood boil we chose black mussels, Dungeness crab, clams, and head on shrimp with the house seasoning and hot spice level. The seasoning and spice was perfect and so delicious. The decor in the restaurant is cute and I really love the little jellyfish lamps hanging in the dining room. The food was great but I do wish they had a full liquor license so we could have cocktails with dinner.

    Went here on a Friday night after seeing reviews on Facebook. It did not disappoint. Just a note to let you know all the crab is previously frozen but this is common on most restaurants serving crab. We love fresh caught crab but need to be really close to ocean to get that. This place is awesome as Lodi needed someplace that served seafood. We shared a bucket with dungeness crab, shrimp, clams, red potatoes and corn. We chose the cajun with hot spice. It was not terribly hot so give it a try. Everything super hot and tasty served in a plastic wrap with a bib and plenty of napkins. Right up there with any other restaurant serving this style seafood. Super busy so we had a half hour wait.

Food: they have a vast variety of seafood plates and options. The mariscos/seafood tastes fresh and they are open to work with you for special request on your plate of choice. Location: there is plenty of parking space. The place is kind of small in my opinion, it get crowded over the weekend. My recommendation is for you to get there early. Ambiance: the music was loud, therefor be aware of possible complications to have a nice conversation without feeling that you gotta turn up your voice volume. The place could benefit from a little extra cleanliness, I understand it's a seafood place although it does give a sense of needing extra cleanliness. Team/staff: they are were attentive and ready to assist when needed. We had a little complication since two of our family members did not get their place fast, three of us had our plate ready and the other 2 waited a good 10 extra minutes. Maybe more organization over how to distribute table tables as a group. Nice experience and they also have alcoholic drinks which seem tasty and fresh. Their aguas frescas were delicious and super refreshing. Highly recommend visiting them ASAP! :)

We sat inside, where the space features exposed brick, artwork throughout, and very comfortable seating... my partner specifically pointed that out. The layout includes a mix of seating areas, which gives it a more relaxed, layered feel. The bar area, known as the Ghost Lounge, adds a darker, more lounge-like element to the overall atmosphere. Service was excellent. Our server, Lacy, was friendly, attentive, and witty - easily one of the best servers we've had in a while. For drinks, I had a local Oak Farm red wine that was excellent. Others in our group had mimosas, which were well received... especially the grapefruit mimosa, which my partner really enjoyed. For food, there were several highlights. My partner had the chicken and waffles and loved it; I tried some and would agree it was very good. Another person in our group ordered the steak breakfast tacos, which came as a set of three. They only ate two, and I had the third and it was delicious and something I would recommend. Another in our group had the eggs Benedict and thought it was excellent. I had the biscuits and gravy with fried eggs. It was okay, but not something I would go out of my way to order again. In terms of value, prices felt consistent with the quality of the food, service, and overall setting. It's not a budget brunch spot, but it feels appropriate for the experience. Overall, it was a really enjoyable Easter brunch with great service, a comfortable and well-designed interior, and several strong menu items. I'd rate it a 4 out of 5, though if half-points were an option, this would land closer to a 4.5. We'd definitely come back.
