    So disappointing. We had a few apps, a couple margaritas, a couple entrees. I had to force it all down. Patio is nice.

    Ok... so maybe as a Houstonian I have been deprived of good crawfish. I miss eating this year…read moreround! But this was legit. We only came here because Asian Cajun didn't have live crawfish. We got XXX garlic cajun butter and it was amazing. It was juicy (bc suck the head) and flavorful. I always bring my own spice to dip in and we kept saying how good it was. We will return... probably sooner than later. We also got some curly fries and those were great too. Happy they have IPAs! Karen was our server and was absolutely amazing. She helped guide us on our spice level and took such great care of us.

    I was visiting The area and staying at a hotel in the neighborhood, and i thought I would give this…read moreplace a try. I guess I was expecting a bit more than what I got. I had requested a garlic flavoring with a mild touch. I have to say I was very disappointed to get scallops with no flavor enhancements, say with like some old bay. The sauce was very bland and even the garlic butter had no flavor at all. Everything is sold by the pound with a very limited menu. I got the scallops with a side of 3 red potatoes with no flavorings. As if this was not already a sub par meal, the waitstaff were extremely slow and seemed to be in no rush to wait on me. $45.00 including tip ( I'm not a bad sport) For a lack luster attempt at Cajun cuisine. I would not recommend this restaurant.

We just left and are heading to Hook and real. We Have eaten at this is establishment many times. My husband doesn't always order the all you can eat. I don't eat the all you can eat, my husband does. I order a full meal of my own and had ordered a full meal on my own and when my husband went to order his all you can eat our terrible server Ash, said both of us had to get the all you can eat in order for him to have it. We've never had that happen and I asked her about it and she said it was at the discretion of the server. I'm not quite sure how this server can have discretion on what somebody can and can't have. What should I expect? Completely unacceptable when brought up to the manager, she did apologize, but Ash was still very rude and saying I decided I was gonna leave and there was no more conversation and to go ahead and leave ans also encourage me to leave a bad review, completely unacceptable and rude.

It came with about six potatoes and three years of corn, and plenty of food for just $67. It was perfectly cooked, tasted delicious and I would definitely return! We then ordered the beignets for dessert which were not traditional, but tasted amazing as well. If you are in town or live near Pier 8, I would highly recommend going in. Great food and service!

    My favorite restaurant! Made a reservation on Open Table and our hostess seated us immediately at…read morethe booth we requested. Our server, Malik, was so professional, courteous, engaging, gave us great suggestions and our meal experience was even better with him as our server! We ordered the Happy Hour cocktails of lemon drop martinis and a regular martini. Ordered a half-dozen of the Pearl oysters and they were so yummy, we ordered another half-dozen. Well-presented and delicious! We then ordered the Nantucket Risotto (only been on the menu for 2 weeks), the Blue Island Diver's Platter (ask for the octopus), a Happy Hour Crispy Slider and Fish Taco. We combined this with a glass of white wine and red wine. The meal was absolutely fabulous and we then finished this spectacular meal with sharing a key lime pie. Once again, Malik made this meal even better with his genuine smile, attentiveness and efficiency. Make sure you sign up for their Loyalty Rewards program and they offer a great inexpensive weekday 3-course Power Lunch.

    Went in on Saturday night for the late night oyster deal…read more The service has been hit or miss. Sometimes it's good other times absolutely terrible. I will say for the oyster deal it has been good, but sometimes the oysters aren't cleaned well. Again a hit and miss. The ambiance is nice and soothing, very ocean blue. We have also tried some sides and other entrees. The shrimp entree was good but lacked some salt. The burger was amazing with the bacon jam and always have the best shoestring fries. I also got an order of the crispy rice that has a salmon and a tuna. The salmon was way too sweet and had a fishy aftertaste that I disliked. The truffle tuna was definitely the better one of the two. However, the rice itself was absolutely mushy and not necessarily crispy. It also didn't have the best flavor. Desserts tried were the olive oil orange cake and the brownie. both are OK and nice and sweet, but not something I would spend money on Overall, truly think this place is a hit and miss. Just depends on the night.

    Honest dine in review: Hey Michelin guide.... Can we get them a star? 5/5 would come just back for…read morethe Shaken rice.... Found this location listed in the Michelin guide and thought... let's try it out? On the third story it's not your average restaurant set up... we were seated next to the kitchen where we got to see the magic! Johny was our waiter who was absolutely killing it! He and his whole staff were engaged, checking in, and even the chefs were bringing us our plates right to our table! Absolutely just one of the best experiences as we order the "Walk With Us" for 2. Walk with us: 5/5 Banchan style servings or tapas as I'm so used to... are ways of giving you the chefs vision of a story they want to paint with food. A taste so unique that I will say... only gets better as you keep going down this experience. Starters throughout the experience have so much flavor and textures that complement each other. The entrees... they get so much better.... Short rib Wagyu galbi that's so scrumptious and a Korean fried chicken that's crispy as can be with a perfectly cooked chicken through and through that's moist and just the perfect definition of a k-fried chicken! I would say my top 3 favorite bites would be: 1. Shaken rice 2. Oyster mushrooms 3. Entree meet: (chicken & beef) tied The chef who brought us the shaken rice explained the meaning behind the dish and what was in it... the back story is so wholesome and unique that it leaves you heartfelt and just happy to be sharing this experience. The oyster mushrooms have so much flavor... you would need to have them because. They mimic beef so well and they have been seasoned to perfection! Entrees.... Yes! They're that good! They will be a challenge to eat because everything else around you is also super good!!! The only thing I wish I would have tried would have been the milk rolls as they looked so good.... Also, he aware that there is a service charge for the walk with us as it is a full show and display of food. Think of it as a tip, but don't be scared to show them some extra love as it's well worth a star in my book. I hope they get one and I can come back and celebrate it! The venue was lively and everyone was so nice! 5/5 this is what you look for in an experience!
