If you have a big party 10+ find a different spot this is not a big party welcome. And actually $50 dollars tip I mean you guys need to take care of your employees not us the costumers. Super bad experience definitely not coming back

We ordered the combo #3 last night for dinner and it wasn't great. The shrimp and mussels texture were very bad. We got takeout and were told that the food will be prepared in about 15 minutes, but the food was ready in 6. We were there at 8:05 pm and received the food at 8:12 pm. Seafood should be made fresh and it unfortunately it wasn't. When we got home and was in the process of eating our dinner, the shrimp meat was almost like paste. They were not cleaned and the mussels would almost disintegrate, they fell apart. It was very unfortunate because the dinner was supposed to be for my son's birthday. All I ask for in the future is that we get the food we actually paid for, fresh and worth the $125 plus tip- because it's really unfair for the customer. These pictures are from last night.

One of my favorite seafood restaurants. The food is very flavorful and consistent. The staff is always very nice and they have a good music playlist in my opinion.

This spot is a Cajun spice haven! The fries are a definite winner, but the fried oysters disappointed with excessive oil. Opted for the seafood combo – decent with just the right spice at medium. The star? Definitely those fries – a must-try!

Low quality food. The $60 crab was cooked without being cleaned first. The guts made the meat taste bitter and disgusting. The corn was chewy and pure butter. Only good part was the shrimp and rice. Not a good experience for our vacation. Time to find a cook that knows crab.

Cajun Tom here from New Orleans. The trout was extremely dry and unseasoned. I had some seasoning with me (I read their menu before arriving that they charge extra for more seasoning), because I expect California food to be bland. The service was good. The atmosphere was not very good. I expect the other dishes are much better than the trout, but I won't be going back. It was not Cajun at all.

Bring your appetite and your wallet full of money. The prices aren't that bad. A pound of shrimp is $20. Try the sauces all mixed together. If you bring it home. It's delicious with rice. The sauce that is but the shrimps are delicious. All the seafood is delicious. A variety sorry, no photos. I ate all the evidence
I like the mild shrimp so much.
