I love this place! It was our first time dining here and the atmosphere is so cute! We ordered so much food and it was all delicious! The notable mentions are the King Crab, Clam of Chowder Soup and definitely end your meal with a Brownie Sundae! So good and we will definitely be back. We ordered a ton of food, it was pricey but that's expected with crab! 🦀 Delicious!

Also, the clam chowder soup was the best I have ever had. I will dream about it tonight.

We brought 10 people into this small restaurant with a reservation. 4 adults and six kids varying in age up to 12. The service was excellent. The food was amazing. The Snow crab legs at 1.5lbs was delcious and you definately got your money worth. The scallops, calamari, and blackened salmon all tasted fresh and professionally cooked. The BBQ platter was also a big hit. One of the better seafood restaurants in michigan. I highly recommend.

Don't let the location deter you. This place service quality meals! I've stopped here two times for dinner while traveling for work and each time the service was perfect and food was flavorful and delicious.

The seafood diablo has an good serving of seafood and pasta. The heat from the spice makes its every bit of delicious. I'm excited to try other options on the menu but you won't regret the diablo!
