Family of 3, at 6pm for dinner on a Friday night…read more The exterior of the building is very unassuming. There is a sign on the outside of the building and a marquis by the street, but both seem to blend into the surrounding retail area of their location so it's kind of a hidden gem. Inside is open, well lit, and plenty of seating for small, and large parties. We arrived to a half-full restaurant as the Friday night dinner rush began. We were seated immediately. Our server came right over, introduced herself, and took drink orders and went over the menu with us, since it was out first time there. A appetizer order of Calamari also went in, with the drinks. Drinks: Pepsi products, and one iced tea. The tea was returned for a soft drink. (The missus is a bit of a tea snob, and she said it tasted like it was fountain, rather than fresh brewed) The Calamari came out within 10 minutes, with two servings of cocktail sauce for dipping. The breading was light, and crispy, and was a nice crunch on the Calamari. We ordered: Two "Cincy Combo's" of 1/2 lb crab legs & 1 lb peel & eat shrimp (head off & deveined) in garlic butter with mild spice. with an order of 5 fried oysters in addition, and a fried shrimp basket with fries & coleslaw. There were plenty of other kinds of seafood to choose from, for the combos if crab legs & shrimp aren't your thing. About 5 minutes later, our server returned with a shell bucket, nut crackers, tool hooks for splitting the legs open, forks, bibs, and two 14" empty pie tins. About 3 minutes after that, the food arrived..... OH MUH GAWD!! The combos come in plastic bags, which allow them to be boiled together in the same large pot, but keeps the sauces and spices separate to tailor the food to your preferences. In addition to the two types of seafood, you also get an ear of corn, and a couple of red potatoes with the combo. Fair Warning: You are cracking crab legs, and peeling shrimp over a pie tin full of melted butter. It's unavoidable, but you're going to get messy. They do provide bibs, but if you're planning on going here as a "first date", then I'd skip the jacket & tie to make a good first impression, because you're going to be taking it to the cleaners the next day, trust me..... The food was fantastic! Hot, fresh, and drowning in butter and spices. The fried basket had large butterfly shrimp, in crisp batter, over a bed of seasoned fries, and a small cup of coleslaw. Our only complaint, was that the slaw was *very* heavy with mayo, and seemed to overpower any other flavors that were in it. It was a small cup, but that was the only thing our table didn't finish. In record time, shells flying, juices & butter everywhere we finished our meals and left nothing behind. Our hands were literally covered butter, up to and beyond our wrists. Portion sizes were perfect, as although we could have eaten more, we left the table thoroughly satisfied. The carnage was so physical, that napkins & wet wipes only took the first layer of butter off our hands. As I was walking to the rest room to take a bath in the sink, I mentioned to the manager at the front that optical wet wipes for those guests with glasses would be a neat thing to have. He held up an index finger as if to say "hold on a sec", walked to the cabinet under the front desk, and grabbed a couple individual tear open packets of alcohol cleaning swabs, to clean the specks of drawn butter from my glasses. AWESOME service and quick thinking on his part. When I returned to the table, our server had delivered our check, and secured another round of beverages in to-go cups for the trip home. By the time we left, the entryway was filled with folks waiting for the next available table, and after eating there I can certainly understand why. All in all, with amazingly attentive staff, quick service, and delicious food; it was a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely be back!!

The tables were set nicely and ready for their guests before we walked in. I appreciated having a bread basket when we arrived so we could nibble on that as we waited for the meal to begin. The 4-course dinner consisted of a seared scallop salad, vegetarian ravioli, branzino, and a chocolate peanut butter brownie. Each dish was delicious with the ravioli being my favorite. The dinner was kicked off with a glass of prosecco, and then each dish was paired with a glass of wine. The manager spoke into a mic to welcome us, to tell about each course/wine pairing, and then at the end of the evening to thank us for coming. He even introduced the entire staff, which was a nice touch. Each time he spoke, it was a quick little announcement and then he let everyone get back to their table conversations. I really appreciated that because so often at these types of things, the speaker tends go on too long, but he did a great job keeping it short. Service was impeccable. The staff was very friendly and professional and I was astounded at how well they served so many of us at the same time and the food came out fresh and plated beautifully.

Reading the reviews, I can't help but if you get a wildly differently experience based on what time and day it is when you go. I went at like noon on a Tuesday. I was the only person there. Should've turned right around. After a minute or two, this guy comes out and seats me. A few minutes later, he takes my drink order. When he brought the drink out, rather than letting me order my food, he walks off and says "I'll be back in five minutes." It was way more than five minutes. Got catfish and fries. It was definitely not the worst meal I've ever had. It wasn't overly good, but I've had worse. The whole experience was just weird, and the food was meh. Will say the nautical decor tickled me.

I went in with a group of 5 and a coworker put a reservation in 1-hour ahead so we'd be able to get a table. We were coming an hour away so it was perfect. We got there, checked in, and got seated within a few minutes. I was kind of skeptical but since this placed is always packed I knew it had to be somewhat decent. I got the grilled shrimp as an appetizer and Fort Worth Ribeye that was amazing. I can see what the hype was all about and they delivered. It's a busy place. A lot of families were there and everyone seemed pretty nice in my opinion. Ya'll have to come by and try this place out!

The lounge is loud, no where near as comfortable as the main dining area and the ambience doesn't match the higher end steakhouse vibe we are familiar with from prior visits. We both asked for our filets medium well and medium, but both came out rare and rarer. The biggest let down was the service. We had to ask for refills on something so simple as water, 4-5 times, which should not be the case at a restaurant of this caliber. With so many options out there, I'm not sure we'd be back anytime soon at these prices and service levels.

Spicy Shrimp: 10/10 The sauce they use packs a ton of…read moreflavor. This was a fine size to split with one other person. Bread was fresh and warm. $60 for 3: 7.5/10 House Salad, 6oz Filet w Shrimp, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Classic Cheesecake. Everything here tasted good. I thought the Filet w Shrimp was just okay. Steak honestly just lacks flavor, especially compared to some of the better Steak Houses in the area. Girlfriend had the same thing except Brussel Sprouts as the side. Her take on it was the same as mine. Took the cheesecake home with us but it looked delicious. Service was Great, Ambiance was as expected. Giving it 5 stars because I loved the appetizer and I think the $60 for 3 is a great deal but it's probably closer to 4 stars. As I have said before, if you want to pay good money for a steak then go all the way to the top (Jeff Ruby), that's no disrespect to Ruth's Chris... just the facts.

I also thought the Caesar Salad was probably one of the best I've had in a while, it was actually better than capital grill! They had a 3 course meal for $60 which I think was a great deal! I had the stuffed chicken breast and mash potatoes for my side. The portions are huge so be prepared to share! For dessert, I had the chocolate cheesecake and it was also really good. I left so full and couldn't finish everything but I would definitely have to say that I would come back. The service could use some improvement, our server was a little slow and when we asked for a straw, she took quite some time and never really apologized. We also had to flag her down for the bill. Overall, I think it was a great dinner!

The chips were okay, but the cheese curds were great; on par with Culver's. My boyfriend and I split a pound of wings which is about 20 boneless wings, and you get two sauce choices - we got Honey BBQ and their traditional dry rub. The dry rub was pretty interesting - it tasted like salt, pepper, sugar, and maybe some cinnamon. The Honey BBQ was also very good. Prices were reasonable and waitservice was also good.

I'm wondering if we got the wrong things, but nothing was exciting. Although there is no photo we started with cheese curds, they were fine, can't really mess those up, but they didn't have anything different to make them stand out. The cheese pizza was good - again, nothing wrong, but nothing great. Both sandwiches will be on the 'not again' list - while they weren't terrible, they were very plain and felt like there was more bread and condiment than anything else. I suppose that added flavor, but not really the flavor that you're usually looking for. The positive, though, our server was excellent; drinks were always full and he was always checking on us.
