You don't need to fly to the East Coast to get a legit lobster roll. This place nailed it…read more We tried the Clobster roll which is a mix of crab and lobster, the Cali truffle roll, lobster bisque, clam chowder, lobster pasta, and the lobster mac and cheese. Washed it all down with their fresh bottled lemonade in strawberry and regular. First thing, the bread. So good. It honestly tastes like it's baked fresh daily and that alone makes a difference. Second, they are not stingy with the lobster. Every bite actually has lobster in it, not just filler. Everything was rich, fresh, and super satisfying. The bisque and chowder were the perfect add ons and the pasta and mac and cheese just took it over the top. The vibe is really cute too. It gives under the sea meets Fisherman's Wharf. Easy location, friendly staff, and they even have coloring contests for kids which is such a nice touch. Highly recommend if you're craving a solid lobster roll without leaving Orange County. We'll definitely be back.

It was busy while we were there mid afternoon with only one open table most of the time. The food is good but definitely has some small things to work on. The mac and cheese was very watery. The cali lobster rolls we tried were great but the classic butter lobster roll was dry and missing the butter. The grilled cheese and the quesadilla were just alright. We will definitely be back to try more things on the menu. Just excited there is finally a local place to get decent lobster rolls at. My recommendation would be to focus on the lobster rolls and tacos. ditch the quesadillas grilled cheeses and lobster fries.

First off, the food is incredible: * I ordered the Mardi Gras Pasta (shrimp, andouille sausage, chicken, mushrooms in a marinara cream sauce) and it was SO flavorful, rich, and perfectly balanced * I also tried the Pernod Shrimp Pasta, which was lighter but still packed with flavor from the garlic, basil, white wine, and tomatoes * I also got to try some of my friend's seafood boil and it was delicious! Super flavorful without being overwhelming, which I really appreciated * I have to talk about the beignets... because WOW! They were better than Disneyland's (lol). Perfectly soft, warm, and just chef's kiss You can really tell everything is made fresh and with care. Portions were super filling and the presentation was honestly gorgeous! We had a group of 12 people and we booked their special events room and it was SUCH a fun experience. It had karaoke, TVs, a pool table, and a super cute backdrop! It was perfect for a group hangout or celebration. What made the night even more special was celebrating my birthday there! The team surprised me with a dessert (ice cream with fried bananas!) which was such a sweet and memorable touch. The vibe and ambiance overall was amazing! I'd 100% recommend this place for a group dinner or romantic date night to have your boyfriend peel your shrimps for you LOL. Service was outstanding, especially considering how busy it was. Huge shoutout to Christian, Nathan, Nathan, and Christine for taking such great care of our big group. They were all so friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Yes, the wait was a bit longer since it was a busy night, but honestly the quality of the food and service made it completely worth it. You can really feel the love behind this place being family-owned, and it shows in both the food and the service! If you're looking for amazing and authentic cajun food, a beautiful atmosphere, and a place that truly takes care of you, Roux is the way!

They give you the option of either a 4oz or 6oz, priced at $34 and $49. It's a Connecticut style roll made with buttered lobster on a toasted brioche bun. It also comes with a side of fries and you can choose your choice of seasoning, "Chef's way" or "Maine style." The roll is pretty expensive but honestly worth it in my opinion because of how much lobster they pack into it. The brioche bread was perfectly toasted. The lobster was fresh and buttery without making the bread soggy, even after pouring extra melted butter on top. This is definitely the best lobster roll I've had.

Also, he was extremely rude to my father when he was trying to pay via InKind. He claimed that they were not using InKind anymore and couldn't take our InKind payment, even though they were still on the app. The reason why we went here was to use our InKind benefits, which were available here according to InKind. He then claimed that it was my father's responsibility to contact InKind about this issue and that it was our problem??? No accountability at all from the manager. Grow up. The food is pretty good. Our waitress was also great. But there are major issues besides that.

I wasn't able to eat too quickly because of that and my noodles were pretty soggy. They give you a LOT of noodles so two people could definitely share a Hot Stone Pot. The meat is very good but the only redeeming quality about the Pho because the soup was super bland and watery. The Cajun seafood platter was way overcooked so all the seafood inside was mushy AND bland. Service was really quick and the staff there was quick to help. If you're starving and have no other late night options, this is an alright spot but not recommended otherwise.

However, I ordered the 2 lb shrimp special for $30 but it seems like this bag in the picture was only 1 lb. (Mind you, this bag came with potato and corn) I've never even finished 2 lbs of shrimp by myself before, so I asked her before the food came, if I could take home any leftovers since it was a dine in special. So clearly, I doubt i received the actual 2 lbs. I asked if she could ask the chef if i really received 2 lbs and he said I did. Anyways, I don't like to write negative reviews about small businesses but I think could've been avoided. Sorry to have to write this but it is kind've unfair cuz I also tipped.

She went in looking for sushi-grade salmon, and she couldn't be happier with the quality. The salmon was incredibly fresh, healthy-looking, and full of flavor. She prepared a few different dishes with it, including sushi cuts and a spicy salmon bowl, and both turned out absolutely delicious. It's always nice to find a place you can trust for quality seafood, especially when it's being used for raw dishes like sushi. Highly recommend this market for anyone looking for fresh, high-quality fish.

We ordered the toro, tuna, salmon, and yellowtail and I can definitely see myself coming back here often. If I'm being completely honest, the toro didn't quite meet my expectations, which is the only reason I hesitated to give it a perfect score. That said, the salmon and especially the yellowtail were outstanding, it was fresh, flavorful, and everyone enjoyed it. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the shrimp or scallop next time. Currently most items are frozen but I hope they can offer some fresh options to better enjoy day off and smaller quantities (half pounds) so I can buy a little bit of everything. Anyways our sushi night at home that fed three people to the brim was around ~90 and was a success thanks to D&D seafood
