“The seafood combinations at Capitain Frank Seafood Boiler in the Global Market are delicious! We were able to create our own combination with crab legs, mussels, clans, shrimp and so much more. The sides are delicious too, sausage, corn, potatoes, egg, etc. I haven't tried the other dishes yet but looking forward to it.“

“Amazingly fresh seafood and beautifully done steaks with equally great side dishes, large enough to share! Go early and take advantage of their fabulous happy hour drinks and apps. Always a good time and a local favorite. Top notch service as well. Recommend for a night out, date night or special occasion.“

“Muy rica la comida me gusto todo la verdad y la persona que nos atendió fue muy amable y muy atenta“

“Their sides are so tasty, even the most devoted carnivores might be caught sneaking a forkful.“

“So nice to get fish beyond what you can get in a grocery store. They also have a good freezer of various seafood blends if you like to make chowder like I do. I make New England style, Bahamian chowders, saffron stews... All of which benefit from fish and shellfish blends.“

“I love this place so much the food is amazing and the customer service is delightful. Our server Jimmy is a sweet heart he gave us origami and a small blow up ballon overall my friends and I had a great experience and we WILL be coming here again.“

“Had an amazing night out at Johnnys. Our waiter Ryan was attentive, kind and so accommodating. He truly made our dinner experience the best. Great recommendations and super friendly. Johnnys is lucky to have him for sure! Delicious food and great cocktails. Will be back soon!“

“Food is all around solid. Ordering is table side via qr code and they bring it to your table pretty quickly (~3-5 minutes this visit).

The Apex galbi, bulgogi, and chicken bulgogi are all good. Definitely get some of the vegetables as well, they're a good balance to a very meat heavy meal. Price as of writing is $35 for 90 minutes of all you can eat, so it's not cheap but you can leave as full as you want to. Our server was great in offering us suggestions and bringing out a small sample of the more Korean desserts so we could try them.

Overall a solid recommend but come hungry“

“God was absolutely amazing! We will definitely be back!“

“We had heard some mixed reviews but dinner last night was perfect! The food was all done exceptionally well and service was fantastic. First time and had a great time. Looking forward to coming back and trying some new things! Salmon and broccolini tasted perfect and my dining partner enjoyed their steak and mashed potatoes. Thank you for the wonderful meal and the servers for being so lovely.“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A spectacular experience that feeds both the soul and the palate
​We went to dinner as a family—two adults and two children—and the experience at Nani Restaurant exceeded all expectations. We went in just thinking we’d have a good meal, but our waiter's service completely elevated the evening: he reflected a genuine love for his work and transmitted a peace that truly brightened the place.
​We ordered the duck, and we absolutely loved it. It came with scallions, cucumber, perfectly seasoned shredded meat, and golden, crispy duck. Even though I am not a fan of bread, the buns that accompanied this dish delighted me; they have a different texture and a very special flavor. With this dish and two sides of rice, it was more than enough for the four of us. The atmosphere is incredibly quiet and relaxing. We paid approximately $83 (including the tip, which we gave with absolute pleasure). I highly recommend it!“

“Muy buena comida y atención !!!“

“For starters, we were treated to an excellent show comprised of two of the best bluesmen in the Midwest, Westside Andy & Glenn Davis. The food was amazing and service was prompt and courteous. I’ve been a restauranteur for over 40 years. Otto’s knocked it out of the park. We will most definitely be returning.“

“GREAT seafood! The house sauce is delicious and the snow crab legs are always amazing! Only issue I have is they advertise “fried scallops” as an appetizer for $8-$9 dollars, but it’s not actual scallops. The texture, taste and appearance is similar to the Krab (aka pulverized white fish and starch). Which would be IF that’s what actual scallop lovers and seafood eaters were expecting. When brought to the waitresses attention, she simply walked away to get the bill I requested without explanation. All in all, I’ll be back, but I’ll never order the “scallops” again.“

“Food is amazing. Always hot and fresh! Best chicken and ribs hands down! Mild Sauce and hand cut fries! The sides are sooo good as well. I have had the dressing, yams, mac n cheese and spaghetti. Also the best catfish I have ever had. The only issue I have when I go there is deciding what to order because everything is so good. Even the next day the chicken and fries are good cold lol! Also they are very friendly. My entire family loves this place we drive from Beaver Dam weekly to eat here!“

“Wonderful experience from start to finish. Every detail attended to. Dinner (prime) was delish. The goulash soup was superb. Not rundown at ALL as in previous reviews. Our waitress was phenomenal serving 15 of us. Bar staff very attentive to customers at bar. I highly recommend!! Worth the drive from Milwaukee!! Thank you!!“

“Always so good. Close to my house. Fast. Family run small business, service has always been friendly. Honestly my favorite place! Egg rolls are top notch, portions are large (left overs are the best), always spiced as ordered... can't recommend enough. Thank you, Chang Jiang!“
