Came here for our anniversary dinner, the food was flavorful and the raw oysters were MASSIVE!!!! Enjoyed a nice dinner, the waitress was attentive and friendly. The place is a little dark so it was hard to see our menus. When the food came out it was hot and fresh but our boiled eggs were definitely overcooked I had to take the yolks out due to poor flavor because of it. Some of the crawfish were tiny but beyond that food was great!

I finally checked out Surfing Crab, located at the Esco mall! It’s in the building formerly occupied by Romano’s Macaroni Girl. That was such a beautiful restaurant, I’m glad a new one has opened up here. Surfing Crab is quite an interesting establishment. There are a number of locations in Texas but this is their first and only restaurant so far in California! The menu seems to be a fusion of Cajun seafood boil and Chinese. Sort of "Ca-Asian” if you will. Service...
