| - I find this place really difficult to review because my food was easily a 4 but my experience was more like a 2. So we'll take the average and go with a 3, and we'll let future visits decide my final rating!
There WILL be a future visit, because the food was really good. I had a combo roast with shrimp, crab and lobster, basically all floating in a delicious, creamy sauce reminiscent of lobster bisque. It was very yummy and filling and EXACTLY what I'd hoped for.
It's a tiny place, with just a few seats around a bar where all of the food is cooked fresh, right in front of you. Let me tell you, it was oh so satisfying when, after an hours' wait, we finally got to take our seats around those bubbling cauldrons of delicious seafoody goodness! It's slow, but the cook and the servers work really hard to get the food to you as fast as possible, and our waitress was awesomely attentive, considering how busy she was. However... the guy cooking messed up and skipped us twice, serving people who sat down over 20 and 30 minutes later than us. We were there for nearly 3 hours in all and It kinda sucked.
The staff were apologetic when we all figured out what was going on, but the whole thing just felt so disorganized. Waiting in line, when seats open up, they don't really let smaller parties fill in the gaps. There was an end seat on either side of the bar remaining empty almost all night- that bugged the crap out of me, as with a little maneuvering around, another couple could have sat down and let the line move faster, too.
BUT these inconveniences are not a deal-breaker; I'll be back for more delicious shrimp someday soon. And hey, I won $10 at a slot machine while waiting in line, so you can use the time to score a discount on dinner if you are so inclined, haha.
