We started with the bang bang shrimp--perfectly crispy with a delicious sweet heat that wasn't overpowering. Easily one of the best appetizers we've had. For my entrée, I had the twin lobster tails they were tender, buttery, and flawless. The seasonal vegetables were fresh and perfectly seasoned. My husband ordered the Connecticut lobster roll, which was loaded with generous chunks of lobster, lightly dressed, and served on a perfectly toasted roll with crispy fries. Simple, fresh, and absolutely delicious.

This is honestly such mediocre food, I don't really understand the rave reviews. The service was…read moregreat, and the restaurant was clean, but other than that, there's not much else I liked. We came on a busy Sunday, but everything moved fairly quickly. As a table, we split the fried calamari and Spanish chorizo mussels. Both of which were solid as appetizers. There was nothing too spectacular about them. As my main, I ordered the crab-stuffed salmon which came with mashed potatoes and sauteed vegetables. The salmon, while the best part of the dish, still left more to be desired. It was a bit dry and I didn't think the sauce was all that flavorful. The vegetables were fine, but the mashed potatoes were simply bad? They had the texture and flavor of instant mashed potatoes, slightly liquidity while being quite bland. I just don't think this place is worth coming back to.

Visited this location a couple days ago after hearing about it and here is my take;…read more They have a running promotion in which upon downloading the app, you'd get an "Everything protein bowl" when you purchase a drink. The bowl which consists of Cajun shrimp, salmon, rockfish and grilled chicken served over white rice, beans, diced tomato, chili mix and chopped parsley. Served with a side of our Roasted Tomatillo which is ABSOLUTELY delicious. Thing is, there was literally one piece of Salmon and no Rockfish and decent portions of everything else. Now, when I address this to the manager "Daniel" I was quite repulsed by his response and demeanor which was very off-putting, stating that I am getting it for free where I correct him by stating that it's not "free" I had to purchase a drink, and it's a promotion your company runs, and if you're going to skimp the portions and have a shitty, pompous, and degrading response, then why run that kind of promotion at all ?! Left my meal right the and there and left. Safe to say that I will never step foot here again, and to everyone else, beware of Daniel.

We've had plenty of bad experiences with Chinese buffet seafood making us feel sick--pretty sure I'm not the only one--but that has never happened here. The food is always freshly steamed and served hot when you order. I'm not a big fan of overly salty, heavy American-style seasoning, so I really appreciate that they can prepare it without all that. Also, my daughter doesn't eat much seafood, but they're flexible and let us order something simple like a mozzarella stick for her, which is a huge plus. Yes, there's an 18% gratuity for parties of 5 or more, but it feels fair for the quality and service. The gumbo you can order on the side is amazing, and the crab legs, mussels, clams, and shrimp are all fresh and delicious. It's $58.99 per person, which isn't cheap, but definitely worth it. Highly recommend.

Checking in was quick and we were seated immediately. Service was excellent. I noticed something I've not seen before (but it's probably been a year since I was last here), beef back ribs! The server explained how they're bribed and smoked and I just had to give them a try... They were amazing! They were actually Stoopid Good, which oddly enough is the name of GAR's BBQ restaurant and that place isn't very good, but these ribs from GAR's seafood concept were excellent! Definitely worth a try!

Vast | Service | Variety…read more Vast -- This is a very large restaurant. It's deceptively spacious. From the outside, it looks like it seats maybe 75-100 people, but once you walk in, you realize it's easily 2.5 times that size. The layout feels open without being overwhelming, which helps it handle the crowds well. Service -- We had excellent service, especially considering how busy the restaurant was. We had a primary waiter, but 3-4 other staff members also stopped by throughout the meal to make sure everything was going smoothly. Whether it was refilling waters, checking on our infant child, or making sure our food arrived on time, the staff was consistently attentive and helpful. Variety -- The menu offers a wide range of both drinks and food. The wine list, in particular, is extensive. There are plenty of options for both lunch and dinner, with a strong mix of à la carte selections and traditional entrées. There's enough variety that most people should be able to find something they'll enjoy. Pro tip -- The restaurant is located inside a very busy mall area, so street parking can be limited. Plan to add a little extra time to your commute and parking search. Pro tip -- There are approximately 10-15 Tesla charging stations within walking distance, making this a convenient spot to grab a meal while charging your EV. Pro tip -- Public transit options to this area are somewhat limited, so driving is likely the easiest way to get there.

Ozzie's is…read moreone of the GAR restaurants we just haven't really been to although its been around for years now....so we made a conscious effort to go this time when craving Italian. There are many of your GAR favorites but they also offer numerous Italian dishes. We went with the Arancini, Tagliatelle with Meatballs, Lobster & Shrimp Diavolo, and the Chicken Parm. In general, the dishes were all tasty...only complaints were that the pasta is way overcooked and mushy with sauce. Not al dente by any stretch. Made it a bit disappointing. Service was a bit slow in the bar area and the waitress kept forgetting our requests. If you forget and we have to ask you again don't be salty about it... Will probably save our Italian cravings for other Italian restaurants. Not a horrible experience..just not up to the usual GAR standards. 3.5 stars...
