  • I had heard such wonderful things about this place that I was positively bouncing to go. If I hadn't been so excited I might have ended giving it more stars. If you're hungry and not too picky, then this is probably a pretty good place as the portion sizes are huge. The quality of the products used were fine, and the ambiance of the restaurant was nice and festive, especially the semi-live music. However, things went pretty down hill from there. I ordered my shrimp steamed (because nearly *everything* is flash fried). The waiter made a big deal about how much longer it would take to steam the shrimp, which seemed strange to me because it only takes about 5 minutes at home to steam shrimp. Lo and behold, the shrimp was rubbery and overcooked. The "slipper lobster" tail on the other hand was gooey and had the texture of something that was already half masticated. Sure, it's my fault for not realizing that a slipper lobster wasn't a real lobster, but guh! I really don't think it was supposed to feel like someone's already chewed food. I nearly gagged! I had some of my step-brother's regularly prepared shrimp and it was better than the steamed, but still overcooked and rubbery. The seasoning on it tasted suspiciously like the Old Bay stuff from the grocery store. The stuff in the shaker was the same and I'm pretty sure it WAS Old Bay. The beans at least were fairly good, as was the chipotle honey butter. The rice was so-so, pretty much like the "spanish rice" you can get anywhere else. The salad bar was very limited, which I suppose is ok because it was labeled a Caesar salad bar. There were no vegetables other than the marinated carrots you can get at Robertos. And their only low calorie/low fat option for dressing was a very bitter tomatillo sauce. Tomatillo on a caesar salad bar but no olives? Sure! Here's an idea, just call it a soggy salad bar so there are no expectations. My advice, get together with your friends, chip in 20 bucks, go to Whole Foods, and then make your own seafood festival at home. It'd be cheaper and way better.
