| - This really isn't my sort of restaurant, but the family wanted seafood, and there aren't too many options, so we ended up here. The Seafarer near Albemarle Road (think: the big whale) was closed, and this was all we could think of that wasn't too far away.
First, the good...
The place is huge. Cavernous, really. In fact, one of the kids made up a new word to describe it (which I can't remember right now). Ginormous plus something else, which I guess makes it one made up word with another one. It's even worse because it was pretty close to empty. Maybe it gets busier on weekend, but not on a Monday night.
Staff is friendly. Ish. Not overly friendly, but nice enough.
Portions are large. No ifs, ands or buts about it. I tend to like eating, and I ate plenty, but there were lots of leftovers. If this was kitchen nightmares, Gordon Ramsey would wonder what they are doing giving away so much food.
The sweet tea is sweet. Not quite as syrupy as my granny used to make, but awfully close. Perhaps the closest I've had in a restaurant.
Now, the bad...
There really isn't anything, other than the fact that the food is so-so, but that's really to be expected. I mean it's not like Charlotte is on the water in any way, shape or form, so did you expect fresh seafood? It's not bad, it just isn't that great.
The hush puppies are pretty decent, and the food comes out quickly, it's just that it's not fresh, so it can only be so good, you know?
