“I went to buy some veggie fry rice and I didnt have cash but they accept zelle. I had so much problems connecting to my bank and got frustrated but the man who serve me was very kind and patient and kept smiling. I finally used another card and was able to pay.“

“I have always been eating here for year and years now very great food 🥘“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

“157 Tavern has been a staple in the area for 10 years and is an excellent choice for parties or group gatherings. You can simply provide them with your budget, and they will curate the menu for you, which makes the planning process very convenient.

Regarding the food:

Grilled Spanish Octopus: Highly recommended. The potato pave is delicious, and the octopus is tender with a perfect charred exterior.

Short Rib with Bone Marrow: The meat is very tender and falls apart at the touch of a fork, though I wish the portion of bone marrow was a bit larger.

King Salmon: Quite tender.

Burrata Cheese: Standard/average.

Caramel Flan: Delicious and beautifully presented.

Overall, it is a great spot for a nice dinner.“

“The portions for the appetizers were so igwe couldn’t even order entrees. The food is well seasoned and delicious. The service was attentive. The ambiance is PARTY. You just keep moving as you done. I definitely will be back…“

“May was amazing to us! She made sure we were well taken care of and made sure we were having a great time. 10/10 place! Will gladly return soon!“

“I picked up food here for the first time and Auntie was so incredibly welcoming. She was happy to let me sample a handful of the dishes they were serving, all of which were delicious.

The oxtail here is just phenomenal. The depth of flavor of the gravy was such a standout. My rice and peas were covered in it and I wish I had more!

The jerk chicken was incredibly tender and the sweet and spicy sauces were a great compliment.

The fresh pine ginger drink is a must have and the homemade coco bread was pillowy soft.

The chef is an absolute pro here when it comes to salinity. The seasoning was spot on for every entree without any lingering saltiness.“

“The best around service is grestaff is friendly. Food is out of this world. Highly recommended“

“We came here on time for the lunch menu (served until 3), but we were given the dinner menu instead. A few of the items that are on both menus are more expensive on the dinner menu, so it gave us the impression they just wanted us to spend more. After asking for the lunch menu they discouraged it then brushed it off, so we used the more expensive menu rather than make a scene. The Caeser salad with chicken was ok, just a little overdressed. The octopus on the specials menu was tender and tasted good. The shrimp scampi over linguini ($8 more on the dinner menu than the lunch menu) was well-prepared. The NY strip au poivre was more medium than the medium rare we asked for, and the steak was under seasoned. We’ve had better experiences here in the past. It was very off-putting that they did not bring us the lunch menu when we asked for it.“

“My wife and I were recently at your restaurant our server who told us he was new to his position (2weeks) gave us amazing cartious and attentive service like an experienced professional unfortunately I didn't get the young man's name..our visit was on Friday 2/25 at about 3:30 in the afternoon . I just wanted to give him his due compliments“

“I went to a family friend’s 70th birthday party they hosted in the Atlantic ballroom. The space was modern and very clean. The food was DELICIOUS!!! And the workers, Yiselle, Estrellita, and Shorty (blonde) made the event so memorable! They paid attention to every detail, whether it was filling our water cups, collecting unused plates and of course they did it all with a warm smile. They were kind, funny and very welcoming. I had a wonderful time! Thank you Yiselle, Estrellita and shorty!!!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Service from Christina!

I had an amazing experience at Captain Loui thanks to Christina. From the moment we were seated, she was friendly, attentive, and professional. She made sure we had everything we needed, checked on us regularly, and provided excellent customer service throughout our meal.
Christina’s positive attitude and attention to detail truly stood out and made our dining experience even better. She was knowledgeable about the menu, patient with our questions, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect.
Employees like Christina are the reason customers like myself will keep coming back. She is a tremendous asset to Captain Loui and absolutely deserves recognition for her hard work and dedication. I highly recommend asking for Christina if you visit—she was amazing and definitely deserves a raise!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you, Christina, for making our visit so enjoyable!“

“I've been visiting Johnny's for over 30+years. Today I went for a lobster roll which replaced the shrimp roll. last year this lobster was so delicious 😋 couldn't wait till the summer. unfortunately, I was highly disappointed. it is not longer on a garlic bun and now served on a plain hot dog bun :( also flavorless! last yr price was $24 and now up to $28 with no flavor and blah bun. please bring back the recipe from years before. thanks“

“We were in the mood for fresh seafood and decided to give this place a try, and overall it was a very enjoyable experience. The location has exactly the kind of waterfront atmosphere you hope for when visiting a seafood restaurant. We were lucky enough to get a table outside overlooking the water, which made the meal even more enjoyable.

To start, we ordered a couple of appetizers and were impressed with both. The shrimp appetizer was cooked perfectly and paired with a flavorful sauce that had just the right balance of sweetness and spice. We also tried a seafood cake that was packed with flavor and had plenty of crab meat.

For my entrée, I originally wanted a seasonal seafood special that unfortunately wasn't available, so I chose a lobster sandwich instead. The lobster itself was fresh and generous, and the sandwich was satisfying overall. Service was another highlight of the visit. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, kept an eye on the table, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.

Between the waterfront setting, quality seafood, and excellent service, this is definitely a place I'd return to when craving seafood again.“

“I had dinner in the restaurant with a friend.
We thoroughly enjoyed the authentic Hunan cuisine. We requested our dishes to be prepared at a mild spice level, and we were very satisfied with how the kitchen accommodated our request.
I also want to highlight the excellent service we received. Our waiter, Kavin, was attentive and friendly, and his menu suggestions were spot on.“

“Prices were reasonable! Food was served quick and was delicious! Valet parking. Staff was pleasant.“

“Delicious dim sum and pan fried flounder!“
