| - Ok. I have been dying to try this place and honestly I wasn't really impressed. Our evening started off right when entering the place has good energy and smells like a east coast seafood shack and no wait on a Friday at about 6:00.
We opted for the calamari to start our meal. It was very good. Not like the normal calamari. Panko fried strips with an excellent horseradish infused cocktail sauce.
Entrees quickly followed. 1 pound of king crab, lemon pepper, mild style. 1 pound of shrimp, I asked if they had Old Bay and our waiter said yes, so old bay, medium spice level it was.
The king crab was good but the sauce tasted just like the "butter" they put on popcorn at the theatre. The large shrimp were very spicy and not like any Old Bay I have had, Old Bay usually has the tell tale sign of celery seed, not this it was like Cajun seasoning. If it's not Old Bay, don't call it Old Bay. The shrimp came with the heads on which is ok but my problem was they are not deveined and they give you no utensils to remove them. I do not eat the gritty vein, sorry. My husband's crab came with a rock and a pair of what looked like manicure scissors. Really? A rock? Everything but the calamari was very messy and they only provide small napkins made out of recycled paper. They do not even give wetnaps at the end of the meal.
Overall the food was just, meh. Nothing to write home about and our service was lackluster. We were finished with our meal a good 15 minutes before our waiter even came back to our table.
For a Coke, 1 hard cider, the appetizer and 2 pounds of seafood our bill was $73. For the price I was expecting a lot more. I might return for happy hour because the calamari was very good but will probably not return for the entrees. There are other places in town that will give me sides and remove the poop shoot from my shrimp for a lot less money.
