CRAWFISH SEASON!!!
First time visiting this spot and I highly enjoyed the dining experience. I came here with my sister on a lunch date and she enjoyed it as well. If anyone knows my oldest sister well, then you will know that she's a tough cookie; very hard to please. Therefore, I was ecstatic that she liked this establishment so much that she told our waiter that we would be definitely coming back for another visit, lol.
Firstly, we were welcomed and greeted so warmly by the host who found available tables right away and he let us choose the table we were most comfortable with! How cool is that?! He was friendly and funny. Their dining room area is spacious and clean. They have a large party area for special celebrations or just large gatherings.
Secondly, after we were seated we waited for about 5-10 minutes before our server made his presence be known. He introduced himself as Yang and he promptly took our drinks and appetizer orders. Although I ordered a peach Margarita, it appeared to be an orange juice flavored margarita. However, it was still delicious! It wasn't strong how like I like my drinks, but still delicious. My sis ordered a coke, but was met with disappointment to find out they do not have coke products available. Reluctantly, she opted out for a Pepsi, lol. She's a true Coke head y'all! As for the appetizer, we ordered fried calamari. It was just okay. I didn't really like the sweet tasting coating or the Parmesan cheese. I prefer my calamari fried the old fashioned crispy way in cornmeal or seafood batter and hot oil.
Thirdly, we ordered the mixed fried combo platter which consists of two choices of seafood protein, hush puppies, and Cajun seasoned fries. I ordered the fried catfish and oysters for my mixed combo, but substituted the fries for lettuce. My sister went with fried catfish and shrimp and plain fries without the Cajun seasoning. They were able to accommodate both of our special requests which was fabulous. She and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We both agreed that the fish, shrimp, and oysters were not too salty, but possessed enough salt for taste. However, they could have fried them all a little longer due to the fact that they were fried a little on the soft side. We both like our seafood fried crispy with a little crunch to it. The hush puppies were tasty but too soft as well. The center of the hush puppy was a little doughy. Overall it was still delicious and fulfilling. My sister said that her plain fries were absolutely scrumptious, crunchy, and did not need any seasoning because they tasted like a hint of salt were in them already.
In conclusion, we both enjoyed our dining experience to the upmost! Although service was a little on the slow side, the staff were all friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing with nice tunes pouring through the overhead speakers. The presentation of the dining room was impressively spotless and clean. The food was not perfect but good enough. I ordered my husband a to-go fried mixed combo with fries and he absolutely loved it. I will definitely be returning with additional family members and friends. I loved it. read more
