Kind of on the busy side dining on a Saturday evening, but we were able to get a table. Server Char was very friendly and helpful! We really enjoyed her service. Ordered she crab soup and clam chowder and they were both great!! Tried the cobb salad which was very enjoyable, along with the shrimp Mexican bowl. Quite spicy but in a good way! We had a brownie for dessert, and everything was excellent!! Overall, the prices were very very reasonable for what we ordered. Highly recommended!!

Came in on Thursday night and there was about a 25 min wait. The hostess was very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was absolutely beautiful! We ordered She Crab Soup which was very tasty! Peel n Eat Cajun Shrimp, Poke Tuna Bowl, and. Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad. Overall everything was good! I wasn't expecting the Poke Bowl to be served warm but the ginger sesame dressing was a good pair to the dish. The chicken on the Cobb salad could have been cut smaller. The menu items looked delicious and I can’t wait to go back to try other item!

Great spot! Good drinks, tasty seafood, good service. Husband loved his seafood platter, and his drink ( Pain killer ). I liked the catfish and gouda Mac and cheese was pretty good. The shrimp on the seafood platter were delicious!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Wendy Gayle March · Feb 2026

Too many "blackened" items on the menu reminiscent of the 90s into 2000s including a seared tuna appetizer. That is too heavy for a delicate dish. A few too many fried seafood items as well. The espresso martini and my server Hunter helped add shine.

5 stars. This is now become my favorite restaurant. Ordered the crab dip as an appetizer. Not only was the crab dip incredibly good, the pita chips with it were delicious. Incredibly crispy Ordered the Fried Cod. It was pleasantly thick, breaded and seasoned perfectly. The jasmine rice was the best I ever had and the mashed potatoes so tasty. Our waiter Riley was such a good waiter he was incredibly attentive and super nice! Chefs kiss definitely would recommend. And will definitely be back.
