| - Went here for lunch on two consecutive days and sat at the bar.
The first day during the NFL playoffs on Sunday, I ordered the salmon. It was well above average in taste and cooked correctly. In my opinion it was about a 10 oz filet grilled and seasoned perfectly.
The second day arrived right at opening, 12 noon on Sunday. The restaurant immediately filled up to at least half capacity during my hour that I ate. I ordered 1 dozen grilled oysters and 1 lb of blackened shrimp at the recommendation of food server Raymundo.
He advised me that that was a lot of food, but for I believe $6 more than the 1/2 lb shrimp (the menu prices have changed), this was well worth it.
The shrimp were very large and I received about 24 pcs of shrimp if not more in the 1 lb. These shrimp are not tiger shrimp, so don't expect something exotic. The seasoning was perfect, and was tasted through the shrimp peelings. Be careful, this dish is served hot, so I would wait at least a couple of minutes before peeling your first shrimp. For those who like shrimp headless, these come headless, but not de-veined.
As for the grilled oysters, they were served just after the shrimp and I'd say it was well worth it. The caveat is that I've been to New Orleans, and these unfortunately don't come close to Acme Oyster House chargrilled oysters. These oysters were good and were medium to large in size. The oysters used for grilling are not the same ones usually served cold.
As for service, I'd say it was good considering there was only one food server allotted for the dining tables and one for the bar area.
I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a seafood fix that isn't sushi. All the food is fresh and cooked with flavor.
