“Celebrated our daughter’s birthday on Friday and everything was AMAZING! Our server, Jaden, was fabulous and our food was incredible!! Definitely a great experience!“

“What a Amazing place to dine.The staff was so attentive. Our food and drinks were absolutely decadent. I will be back.“

“This was a great unexpected experience. My friend I wanted sliders so we stopped in for that, not realizing it was 8:50 and they close at 9pm. The hostess was so sweet and still let us dine in which was greatly appreciated. Shout out to our server Aidan he was awesome!!! He didn't make sus feel rushed ! I ordered a porn star martini which was great!!! Instead of sliders we ordered a double smashed burger to share, one thing I loved as an option is we could do half regular fries and half sweet potato fries. You know I love some good accommodations!!!! he burger was very good, I like trying smashed burgers at different places. Max you got it right!!!! I really appreciate the kind service staff had to offer!!! We will be back!!“

“We were told the wait would be 30-40mins which was fine. We provided our number for text and waited. At the 45min mark my husband checked for our status and they had texted us 15mins prior... except the number wasn't ours. Not even close. We then waited another 15mins to be seated. He has allergies (just chili peppers) which is a pain for staff so we appreciate them checking everything but food came out bare bones (tots app was literally plain tater tots, for example. To their credit, they took it off the bill. Our waitress's service was terrible. After waiting an hour to sit, it took over an hour to get out. She actually didn't bring us any food. Everyone else and their mother brought food (and drinks on occassion when they thought of us). She walked by several times without asking about top-offs. Food was meh. I think hub's chicken and waffles was for sure better than my Monte madam which was just a mouthful of sloppy salt. The food, which was okay at best was WILDLY over-priced. Still he tipped over 20%. Just because our experience, service, and food sucked doesn't mean we had too... but we will never go back here. SUPER disappointing.“

“One of my all time favorite spots . Hands down beats all the local competition for seafood . Drinks are amazing ?? Two favorite’s are coconut shrimp app ? and seafood boil combo Reels catch seasoned garlic butter the flavor is great and seafood is fresh not too mention the atmosphere of the Resturant , the waitstaff are very pleasant and seems to enjoy the work they do & knowledgeable on the seafood . It’s def an experience , so if ur ever in the area I suggest u stop by u won’t be disappointed .“

“‼️Really delicious food, I'd call it excellent! If you enjoy sushi, this is the place to go. Sometimes on the weekends the parking lot is packed full, so if you enjoy their food, it may be better to simply call ahead. However, there are a few inaccuracies on their this Facebook website. First their current hours are posted as "always open", of couse this cannot be true in the least bit.
