I gave the food one star because the boil I ordered had absolutely no flavor. It was terrible. The sauce was incredibly watery and insipid. Looking at it you could not see any garlic, sauce, herbs, seasoning or anything indicating flavor. I added scallops, which turned out to be a complete waste of money. They were hard, overcooked, and not soft in the slightest. Honestly, chewing five day old gum would have been about the same experience. I was also only given one piece of corn, which felt stingy. At minimum, two should be standard. Overall, I spent $75 on a meal that wasn’t even worth $5. I gave service five stars because the young lady working was by herself and still made the effort to check on my table. When I told her my boil was nasty, she brought me a cup of sauce and some Old Bay

I came her for my birthday dinner and everything was wonderful! The vibes were amazing and the food is too! My waiter Daye was also great! He handled so many tables and treated my table like we were his only guests. He was attentive and giving exceptional service! Because of his customer service I will definitely be back! He should be recognized!
