I hated the atmosphere and service took forever even when it wasn't busy.

We went for a fundraiser. Everything was lovely. Thank you to the great staff who helped make the event a success!

So I'm always skeptical of getting blackened Cajun fish dinners from anywhere besides the South or a beloved spot on Remsen St in Brooklyn Heights (R.I.P. Cajun Cabin), however, I trusted Judy (owner's mother) on this occasion and it was pleasantly pleasurable to my pallet. The presentation of the dish was fitting enough for an upscale restaurant at Bryant Park NYC, but for a restaurant next to the Train tracks in Lakeview (Buffalo NY)...input slow clap! The fish was served on a hot stone that not only kept it warm for the duration of our meal but also ensured a mild sizzle sound reminded me to keep my fork efficiently occupied. Our Apps were Coconut Shrimp (one of the best I've ever had) and Stuffed hot peppers with generous cheese in and around them, Wow! A must to visit on a Friday evening. If you get Sam as a server and you're as complicated as I am with my substitutions then you'll be in good hands!

I have been here several times and the food is excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Can't wait to go back!

One of the best fish and chip suppers I have had. The staff were really friendly and efficient. I don't know what previous reviews were talking about. Were they even there?

Food is always excellent. Young girl that was our waitress tonight was amazing considering she was basically taking care of all the tables! Wish the bar maid would have come out to help her serve drinks as she only had five people at the bar at most. Don't get it. Again I waitress was very sweet and efficient even thou she was on her own.

Went for dinner a few nights ago and the place is just completely empty. Lobster game machine out of service as soon as you walk in and to be honest it's filthy. There's some sort of algae at bottom of tank - why not just remove it? Beer bottles were sitting outside with cig butts all over the ground. Its a eyesore and the first things you see when you walk in. Seems like they want to be a bar first and the restaurant is an afterthought.

Tiny beer selection. Food was terrible. Pretty sure they cooked my shrimp in a microwave. Skip this place.

Service was so very slow waited an hour for food with only 2 other tables in there.. took forever even for a drink order. Won't be returning. They should of stayed in the smaller place was so much better there

The food was amazing. Our server was a little less than desirable. They do not do separate checks on Fridays or for big groups.

Food was good but the lobster dainties were awful. Rubbery, cold and just terrible. Probably frozen. Can't believe they would even serve something that bad. Especially considering the dinner was pretty good

Hostess was great, our service otherwise was awful. Waitress wasn't around at all, and not just for us but everyone. She forgot our drinks multiple times till we asked for them, had to ask for the app and the bill and the hostess was the one we asked. Once food was out we didn't see the waitress again. Food ok. Crab legs good, fish fry plain/ bland and pizza had no taste nor was it cooked like requested. Was not offered more drinks after initial was gone.
