| - After living in Lakewood for over a year I finally gave this place a try after hearing wonderful things. First of all I loved the ambiance, its big, clean and open, with a delicious looking dessert case as you walk in. No booths though which is sometimes a bummer, but I still really enjoyed the feel.
Now onto what really matters, the food. We ordered the calamari to split as an appetizer while we sipped on beer and wine waiting for our food. Unfortunately, I will say, never order the calamari. It honestly tasted like it came out of a freezer and then was just fried quickly. It was chewy, no tentacles, which is a huge red flag its not fresh, or real possibly, and very greasy. The dipping sauces were really good, but the product not so much.
For dinner I ordered a shrimp and lobster roll, my friend ordered a veggie burger, and we ordered asparagus and sweet potato fries to split. My roll was very good! The bread was fresh, the shrimp and lobster was plentiful and it wasn't over mayoed. It definitely tasted fresh with seasonings, it was very spicy though due to jalapenos they put on the bread so they are easily taken off. I love hot things and still couldn't handle the extra kick. My friend really enjoyed her veggie burger which she added fresh avocado too.
Both our meals came with home made chips and we did not know that or we probably wouldn't of ordered two sides, but the chips were really good but I ended up not eating them. The asparagus was cooked very well, but was a little salty but to some people that is a good thing, and the fries were delicious! Can't go wrong with a sweet potato fry?
I definitely will be back to give it another shot, possibly try it for brunch but just be careful on what you order.
