I think this place is amazing I had a wonderful hostess(Melissa) she is sweet and very helpful!
Extremely rude and disrespectful. Does not charge the correct amount at times. Will go elsewhere from now on. Edit. Seems to be common thing in the reviews.
The food is edible but the service sucks. We had a waiter add their tip in our receipt. When we went back, the manager Gloria kept rolling her eyes at us while the cop wrote his notes for the police report. So if you do decide to eat here make sure you write in the total in your receipt.

i ordered my food on doordash last night, and only my mom and i ate, we have been throwing up non stop since last night. it’s weird because we’ve eaten here before but nothing happened till last night that we started throwing up.
This place is vile. The restroom smells absolutely HORRENDOUS, like something has been rotting there for days, and what’s worse is that the staff clearly knows and does NOTHING about it. The smell seeps out and ruins the entire dining experience. It’s nauseating, embarrassing, and completely unacceptable for a restaurant.
How is this allowed? Basic hygiene is literally the bare minimum, and this place fails miserably. If you can’t keep your bathrooms clean or at least ADDRESS a problem this bad, you shouldn’t be serving food. Customers shouldn’t have to hold their breath or gag just to exist in the same space.
The fact that no one bothered to fix it, clean it, or even acknowledge it says everything about how little they care. Disgusting, negligent, and unprofessional. I will never be back, and I strongly suggest others stay far away unless you enjoy the smell of filth with your meal.

Theres was absolutely nothing wrong with the food. But the service was less than acceptable. We waited a long time before our drinks were ordered... all the waiters were just in a corner talking... i had to get up and refill my glass myself... after taking our food order, the waiter revisted us just once... definitely NOT coming here again.

Great food and service. My favorite part was when 5’2” Steven Franz walked in and wanted to sit the bar and then proceeded to try and play dumb like a TABLE for two was where he was going to sit. The hostess told him and his man bun from 2014 that his seats were at the bar.

This is my 3rd time leaving a review, everytime it gets deleted. Management is horrific, when i say horrific i mean the most scum of the earth people you can ever imagine. I would not recommend eating here unless you want to be betlittled and yelled at.
Food was great

My go to when I’m craving seafood or when I’m a bit hungover . The place is fast and the food is delicious, always the same consistency. Surfing crab is always packed so I tend to go sit and the bar and enjoy the daily drink specials while I wait . The bartenders are friendly and make the experience even better ! Definitely one of my favorite restaurants, I go at least once a week with the amazing Lunch specials they have from 12-3 pm ! Must visit if you haven’t done so !

Gone a few times before, the food is good but the hostess and whoever answers the phone are terrible. They are rude and this time they practically threw us out when we showed up at 950pm and they said it was closed. The restaurant was full and they close at 1030pm. This was very demeaning to my wife and me. We left feeling discriminated, we left ashamed.
