I'll admit it up front - I'm not a big seafood fan. But it was Mom's birthday yesterday and this is where she wanted to go.
Place is easy to find at the corner of Carmel and Pineville Matthews Road.
Decor is very pleasant - nothing that stands out as either exceptionally nice or exceptionally horrid.
Food was consistently edible. Server asks if you want anchovy on the caesar salad which is a nice touch (dad said yes, I declined). Salad was served a touch too cold for me. The fish and chips was an acceptable option for us landlubbers. Enough tempura batter and tartar sauce and I forgot I was eating fish! Dad's dish seemed to be the best - the diablo shrimp over spinach fettucine.
I would have liked to tried a grilled fresh fish dish (the house specialty) - but they were priced in the $20 per entree range. Seemed like a lot to pay if you aren't already a stark raving mad seafood devotee.
Which brings us to value. I thought it was a okay for what we had - $81 before tip for dinner for three including two salads, three glasses of wine and one gin martini. (BTW, the server seemed surprised that martinis are ordered with anything other than vodka. Isn't gin the classic martini?)
No dessert - homemade chocolate on chocolate birthday cake was waiting at home!
