| - How frustrating!!!! I wanted to love this place. The items on the menu sounded great. The atmosphere when we walked in was cozy, a definite upscale setting. We had a reservation for a large group, were seated right away no problem there. Immediately had waters for the table and some bread. Our server was great.
Unfortunately, the suggested meal I ordered was horrible! I was debating between the fillet Oscar style, and either a fish or seafood dish. After a suggestion by our waiter I ended up ordering the Jumbo Gulf White Shrimp dish which is followed by the description "grilled with lemon, garlic, and fresh Jonah crab". By the way, this dish is $29. I also ordered the crab and corn chowder. Damn the corn chowder was great. Rich, hot, and a good amount of crab. Sadly...my main dish was just awful. My first bite was dry and dry and more dry. I swear there was raw garlic and/or raw shallots on my plate and random crumbs of god knows what sprinkled over all of the shrimp. You would think that there would be a sauce on top of this dried grilled shrimp but there was not. How about a lemon butter sauce? No. I ate two shrimp off of my plate and quickly tried to give them away to everyone else but no one wanted them. This was one time I wish I had sent the plate back and ordered something different but that isn't usually how I roll. I regret that. Spending that much on a dinner for me usually means I liked my dish but this time I hated it. How I wish I sent it back.
The other end of the table had great looking dishes. They all ordered a steak dish. Ribeye, fillet, etc. All looked great and they all said it was delicious. Wish I was on that end.
Overpriced for what you get.
I won't be back,
