| - We decided to check this place out due to good word of mouth around my husband's workplace. My husband is a big seafood fan, and we moved to Charlotte from Florida- so we were eager to find a decent seafood restaurant.
In terms of ambiance, it's a very large and somewhat noisy place. Decorations are sparse, limited to some painted wall murals and a few typical tidbits (fishing nets, etc hung here and there). I think the noise level displeased me more than the decor, but I'm not typically a snob about such things so that doesn't really factor into my rating.
The meal started fine- their hush puppies are wonderful, the salad was delicious (and huge!) and the clam chowder wasn't bad either. Unfortunately we hit a major snag when we got to the main course. My husband's meal arrived fine (albeit after a somewhat lengthy wait, though I was willing to overlook that given we went on a Friday night and the place was pretty crowded), but my meal was nowhere to be found- apparently it was sent to another table by mistake, so we had to sit for another 20 minutes waiting on my dinner to be remade while my husband's food got cold. When it finally did arrive, the fish itself was fine but over-seasoned (I ordered the grilled Mahi-mahi) but I'd completely lost my appetite and did not really enjoy it at all. The onion rings it came with were disappointing as well, and the few french fries I stole off my husband's plate while we waited were not very good either- rather soggy and bland.
I'd like to believe our poor experience was an anomaly based on the other reviews and the good things we'd heard about the place, but given the experience we had there I do not think we will be going back.
