It was very clean looking and we were the first ones in! Our waitress came out quickly and gave us menus, suggestions, and all the available options. We opted not to do the all you can eat... though there is that option.... We got scallops, crab, sausage, and shrimp. We added potatoes and corn and also had coleslaw Everything was excellent! And we'll absolutely be returning!

A couple things... there are two price points - the less expensive option does not include crab and has some limitations on things like wings. The more expensive option does include crab but a maximum of pounds. The variety of seafood is limited, and each round you order takes a very long time. The headless shrimp are the best I've had at one of these places and try the ninja fries. But maybe steer clear of the mango pudding.

It's lovely outside and in. Though the building has been there for many years now, they have remained in business and kept up on the cleanliness. It's still beautiful! I ordered the chopped salad with salmon. The salad was absolutely delicious, but it was not a chopped salad. It was closer to a tossed salad because the lettuce was not chopped as you would expect. No biggie! I just chopped it up myself. The bacon on it was scrumptious and the salmon was cooked to a perfect medium rare. The salad dressing was a creamy vinaigrette and it went perfectly with the dish. I recommend! We shared a Crème Brûlée that was HUGE and delicious as well. I ordered the passion fruit lemon drop drink and it was tasty and strong. The service was prompt and kind. He got all of our orders correct and was highly attentive. I'll definitely be back soon!! Cheers!

I don't really have any specific complaints about this dish, I probably just wasn't in the mood for it as much as I thought I was

We initially decided on this place because they offered oysters on a half shell. I figured they would be small oysters, but no, these oysters reminded me of the size of gulf oysters. The oyster dish came with all of the fixings, horseradish sauce, cocktail sauce, tabasco sauce, lemons, and crackers. I enjoyed every single bite. We ordered a seafood boil dish combo #2 that came with Dungeness Crab Legs, shrimp, clams, sausage, red potatoes, and corn in a crab house cajun sauce with heat level medium spicy. The boil came out just as I finished my last oyster. I failed to take a picture of the beautiful seafood dish before us. Plan to get messy with this place. They put down paper on the table when arriving, and they give gloves and a bib to wear. I took off all of my rings and I got busy cracking and peeling. The cajun garlic butter sauce was so flavorful. I couldn't get enough of it. I swept and dipped my seafood pieces around in it until I could scoop up enough to enjoy with every bite. Our server was attentive to our needs, and the bathroom was clean upon my visit. I didn't mind the walls and poles that were written on. It added its own character.

I always leave full and to be honest I didn't think the bill was too pricey for a seafood experience, like I said, in a land locked state. Service has always been very professional and prompt. This one is in the rotation. Also make no mistake bring your wallet game to this splurge but worth it type spot.

My husband surprised me with dinner here while we were in Albuquerque celebrating my 50th birthday,…read moreand it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. This charming little bistro near the south end of Old Town is elegant, welcoming, and truly a hidden gem. Having convenient on-site parking was a nice bonus, and we were warmly welcomed as soon as we arrived. Our server, Christopher, made the evening even more memorable. He was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He also took the time to recommend several local restaurants and places to visit, which we really appreciated. We started with the mussels, and they were outstanding--fresh, tender, and served in a rich, spicy butter broth with perfectly toasted crusty bread for dipping. My cedar plank salmon was cooked beautifully, full of flavor, and paired with a delicious chorizo risotto. My husband ordered the filet mignon, and after trying a bite, I can understand why he said it was one of the best steaks he's ever had. The mushroom risotto and seasonal vegetables were the perfect complement, and the fresh salad with homemade dressing was a great start to the meal. To top off the evening, the staff surprised me with a three-flavor sherbet dessert complete with a birthday candle and a thoughtful personalized birthday card. It was such a sweet touch that made me feel truly celebrated. We couldn't leave without trying the German chocolate cake, and it was the perfect ending to an unforgettable dinner. Everything from the food to the service exceeded our expectations. We can't wait to come back and try more of the menu the next time we're in town.
