The extremely small portions of food for the amount of money is scarier than a haunted house. Once was too many times for me. Legal seafoods offers much more for the same money.

This was a wild experience. The server was not friendly. When asked about an item she said don't ask me, I don't know. She said she does not eat there. The food was salty which I overlooked and ate some anyway. The muscles were sketchy looking, but the crab legs were good. However, a few hours later I threw up several times and felt really really sick. I rarely ever throw up, but I knew it was the seafood. Just go somewhere else.

The customer service is great. The atmosphere is nice. However, they use old seafood that hasn’t been cleaned well. Yuck.

Got sick off of the fried shrimp basket. It appears the oil or shrimp may have been tainted a bit. Nothing like a good system flush...

I enjoyed the seafood and was impressed with the quality and value. Our server was very helpful with a complicated family order.

The place was empty for the most part. Food could use more seasoning. Difficult to find parking in the area. Service felt a bit uncomfortable, because the staff at times faced our direction and just stared. Also, when food is served, they do not let you open your own bag of food. They do it for you. They do the same when you don't finish your food. They want to wrap it up in front of you. Feels like the service you get at a Chinese buffet.

This place is wild. The servers literally force you to tip. First time I went, the service was bad so I didn’t leave a tip. I signed the check and the waitress came back, handed it to me again, and said angrily, “You gotta tip!” And she was so mad that I HAD to! Like, seriously?
I gave it another shot (don’t ask me why), and this time I tipped $10. The server was pissed off and told me it wasn’t enough. At that point, I was done.
Tipping is supposed to be based on service, not something you’re bullied into. I’m never going back to that place again.
