| - I should know better than to eat seafood in a restaurant that is land locked. My friend and I decided to take advantage of a Groupon that i had purchased and roll it into a "date night". He had never been and what better way to try out a new restaurant. Our server was really nice and touted that they're known for their seafood, so of course I think, okay, let's order seafood.
Started off with raw oysters, not bad, I'm learning to like them and they had all the right sauces, no rogue shell pieces. Tasty.
I had the stuffed shrimp, he had the almond crusted tilapia. The stuffed shrimp was way too salty and a little fishy. i think the shrimp was old or wasn't cleaned well. My mashed potatoes would have been great if they weren't so salty and the bacon that was supposedly there i could find. The tilapia was a complete opposite! no salt at all!. It was cooked fine, but needed some seasoning. Definitely their dishes were inconsistent.
I have another groupon so i will try again, but i think the decision was to just order the steak and pasta instead.
Being a San Francisco resident i know i can't expect the seafood to compare, but i would have hoped that being in downtown Charlotte they would step it up a bit.
....and almost forgot because they did, i had an open table reservation for points that they cancelled. Now i'm unable to get the points on my reservation. so unfortunate.
