    i was in town for the big xii wrestling tournament, and during a session break, we stopped in for…read moresome food & drinks. lo & behold, this place - completely unassuming from the outside in its winter wrap - was, in a word, outstanding. there was no waiting for a booth, and our server/wait person, breezy bri, was charming beyond belief. not only was she thorough and quick to answer any questions, she also put up with my endless & relentless questioning about EVERYTHING. she made the meal fantastic. the food was prepared to perfection, delivered promptly, and was delicious. the drinks were great, too, and made to our exacting expectations. breezy was very good about keeping in touch with us as we dined, and brought us whatever we needed. all in all, this experience merits MORE than a 5-star review, but that's how industry standards work. brianna, you're the tops!! thanks!

    First the service was amazing! We had a great server!!! Thank you than you!!…read more The food though - NOT IT The blackened chicken fettuccini was good. But the flavor was missing . The food looked appetizing but when you ate it... it was bland and just not it. Crab dip looked delish but the flavor was missing I don't understand it but it was NOT IT.. We ordered the Wagyu sirloin and I don't believe it was Wagyu . Very dense tough and I'm not sure what was going on neee::

    This location has been in BA for a while, and I regret I did not try it sooner! My parents and I…read morevisited here for lunch on a Monday. We were promptly greeted by a friendly worker. She explained the different menu boards to us, one is for seafood boils, one is for fried food and one was the lunch menu. We placed our orders, grabbed our drinks and sauces and took a seat at one of the large, loungey booths. The sauces are self serve with tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, ketchup and malt vinegar. Our crab bites came out quick with a side of creamy (not spicy) remoulade sauce. We quickly dove in and were greeted with flavorful little nuggets of crabby goodness. Our shrimp and catfish platters came out next. The batter on both the shrimp and the catfish was incredible! It was cornmeal based, super crispy and well seasoned. You could see the flavor in the breading it was so good. The waffle fries were also exceptional. They weren't just there for backup, they were part of the delicious crispy flavor trio. The portion size was generous. I ate about half and took the other half with while my parents split a platter. The inside of the restaurant is very spacious and clean with a bright, modern feel to the space. It would be good for small or large groups. Again, I just wish I had tried this place sooner! I will be back ASAP to try some of the other menu items. The seafood boils look interesting, served with different flavored butters. I fully recommend this place for locals or if you're just stopping through the area and craving delicious seafood.

    I visited this place for the second time and decided to go for the fried fish and daiquiri. The…read morefood came out so fresh and hot that I could not eat as fast as I wanted to but no complaints there. Since it was my first time being able to get a daiquiri I took the chance and got a mango daiquiri. It had me spinning after a few sips but it was a perfect match with the food. The server was so polite and offered great alternatives if you wandered about mixing and matching menu items. My food ended up taking a while so they gave me an extra piece of fish and let's just say that I was certainly pleased with that gesture. I didn't eat it all In one setting, so I was able to take some home and actually have lunch the next day. The place was such a relaxed space and easy spot to consume your food. It wasn't too cold in there and it wasn't too noisy. I will surely return.
