| - My husband and I are in town for some medical tests at Cleveland clinic. We like to "Eat local" so we decided to try this based on some of the recent reviews. It is DEFINITELY a hole in the wall kind of place. I was so hopeful. Unfortunately, very disappointed.
We ordered the corn fritters and sampler for appetizers planning to share, then other a dinner plate. The sampler included wings, shrimp, oysters and calamari. First, I love calamari. This wasn't the tender, rings or strips that we're used to. These were 5 inch, 3/4 in thick tentacles. NOT what we expected. But we tried it. Tough, chewy and not good. There were 4 pieces, we ate one.
The shrimp and chicken wings were good but the batter was so heavy you could barely taste them. Oysters were fried as well and hard to find in all the breading. Luckily, the corn fritters were good, although too sweet and a bit mushy for my husband. They could have cooked a bit longer, but acceptable.
I guess we should have ordered the boil or "by the pound", but we didn't think we would be able to eat that much. These were SERIOUS bags of food.
My husband mentioned that the restaurant had a weird smell. That should have been our first clue.
Service was good, our young lady was sweet and helpful. This did not make up for the food.
I was really hoping for some good seafood, this was not the place if you're craving seafood, rather than a Cajun boil.
Maybe you'll order better than we did.
