Went here for the first time tonight to celebrate my birthday. Based off the reviews I was hoping it would be good. My experience was AMAZING! They have free bread and cinnamon rolls on the weekends, thought that was neat. Crab cake appetizer ($10) was so fresh and full of crab. I got the 16oz king crab legs (delicious and fresh) salad, red potatoes and broccoli ($63) and my husband got the filet and 7oz lobster with fries, salad and broccoli ($70) Service was great from hostess to server, 10/10 will be going back very soon.

Excellent food, decent service, and clean atmosphere. Our party got a variety of dinners. The steak, liver, oysters, mahi mahi, and clam chowder were excellent. Lobster tail was a little tough. Overall great experience and will definitely go back!

A Hidden Treasure for Crab Lovers & More! If you’re craving the best crab legs in town, look no further—this place is an absolute gem! The crab legs are steamed to perfection, bursting with sweet, tender meat that practically melts in your mouth. Served with heated drawn butter, soup, rolls and sides, every bite is pure indulgence. But it’s not just about the crab legs—their seafood selection is outstanding, from buttery lobster tails to crispy fried shrimp and plump, juicy oysters. Everything is incredibly fresh, clearly sourced with care, and served in generous portions that leave you fully satisfied. Even if seafood isn’t your thing, their menu has delicious alternatives, like perfectly grilled steaks, fall-off-the-bone ribs, and other hearty dishes. No matter what you order, the qual

★★★★★ 5.0 Thomas Stilwell · Feb 2026

Tonight’s dinner was truly a delight from start to finish! The prime rib was exceptional — tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor — easily rivaling some of the best I’ve ever enjoyed. Each bite was savory perfection, melting in the mouth and leaving me wanting more. Our server made the evening even better, attentive and friendly, ensuring everything ran smoothly and adding a personal touch that made us feel genuinely cared for. The broccoli was slightly firmer than ideal, but still fresh and flavorful, nothing to overshadow the main event. And the cinnamon rolls… what a sweet finale! Warm, soft, and perfectly spiced, they were a decadent treat that rounded out the meal beautifully. From the impeccable prime rib to the comforting dessert, the whole experience was memorable, cozy, and utt

★★★★★ 5.0 Jeremy J · Nov 2024

If you’re headed here on the weekend, prepare for a bit of a wait, usually around 30 to 40 minutes – but it’s completely worth it. People actually drive from over an hour away just to eat here, and many regulars have been coming for more than two decades! They serve a warm, cinnamon roll as a complimentary appetizer on weekends. Once you’re seated, you’re in for a seafood treat. The Grouper is beautifully flaky and packed with flavor, the Orange Roughy is buttery and just melts in your mouth, and the seared tuna has that perfect peppery crust and tender center. And the Walleye? Lightly breaded and fried to crispy perfection, served with a homemade tartar sauce that’s the ideal combination. This is a must try sea food restaurant in Columbus area!
