| - So our first time coming here was a pretty bad experience. My husband, and brother in law, and myself were in the mood for some seafood, and decided to give this place a try after seeing some of the good reviews on yelp.
When we first walked in we werent really greeted, so we just found an open table (that wasn't covered in old dishes that hadn't been bussed yet). About 15 minutes later we had a servicer come take our drink orders. After about another 15 minutes we were able to order. My husband ordered a crab bucket, his brother a shrimp bucket, and I Ordered a shrimp poboy. We also got two appetizers the calamari and the clam strips.
The calamari was burnt to a crisp, like crack your jaw and slice up the inside of your mouth burnt crisp. And the clam strips were more like fat little clam chunks, I've never seen them cut up that way. And they were very tough. Unlike the calamari they were at least edible, unfortunately there were only like 4 clam strips on the plate. All together the appetizers were very disappointing.
By this time we've long been out of water. And couldn't seem to catch the attention of the 2 servers that were rushing around past our table. Finally when our food was brought to us (maybe other 15-20 minutes had passed) we asked the server who had brought the food for some refills, and tried to place an order for a drink. She kind of stared for a few seconds then repeated the drink order and said alright no problem and seemed to be off to put the drink order in and bring refills. We never saw her or our drinks the rest of the night.
The food we ordered was ok. The portions for the shrimp and crab buckets were very small. Both meals came out in small bowls, with an empty bucket to throw the shells away in.. so I guess that's what the bucket part is about. Which is very misleading.
All in all it was not a good experience. I'm not sure if we'll be coming back here. It's a shame too because we really wanted to like it since it's so close to our house.
