This is one of the best seafood restaurants in the east valley, top three in the very least. I have lived here for thirty years and have come to this place for twenty years, back then it was located near Fiesta Mall. This is your classic east coast styled seafood restaurant that is family owned and operated. My all-time favorite dish (when it is in season) is the soft-shell crab. I love them lightly fried and served as a sandwich, which by the way isn't on the menu but they are great at making special requests.
The only "bad" experience that my wife and I ever had here was when we decided that we just wanted king crab. By that I mean we wanted a whole crab and no sides. The server got the no sides part right, but he served us one portion of crab... four legs, no claws. Another server noticed that we looked a bit confused about what was delivered and she asked if something wasn't right. We explained that we were expecting eight legs and two claws. I suspect that they don't normally serve claws when ordering a la carte, but between her and our server they fixed it up for us... giving us exactly what we wanted. We just didn't want any of the usual sides because we knew we would be stuffed from the crab alone.
A word of warning though, this place gets PACKED in the winter time. Folks from the east coast know a good seafood restaurant when they see one and the snowbirds flock to this joint. My sister and her husband once waited two hours to get a seat on a Friday night in the middle of Lent. She said it was worth the wait. As for me I prefer to come here on Saturday afternoons that time of year for faster seating.
