One of my favorite seafood places in the city ???? I usually get the cajan sauce on my crabs &* the chili for my crawfish. My only suggestion… bring back the shrimp tacos ???????? They were SO GOOD !

Awesome experience here. Got 1 lb crawfish and 1/2 dungeness crab with corn and sausage. I got gulf seasoning, medium hot, and a Henny punch to drink. Shellfish tasted fresh and healthy. I actually wish I had gotten double corn it was so good!! Sausage was high quality, but in large chunks that are hard to eat with your hands. Seasoning was salty (made worse by the sausage) but honestly VERY tasty. Medium spicy was the right choice for me, ordered on waitress's recommendation - it was just hot enough to feel a bit of heat, but not enough to overpower other flavors or hurt. Henny punch was great - a sweet and strong fruity drink, went really well with the rest of the meal. Playlist was awesome all night as well! Overall a fantastic meal well worth the $$.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE!!! I would give this place zero stars if I could. The quality of the food has significantly decreased. The mussels were over cooked and not fresh. It was so old that the mussel meat was black. It wasn’t just one piece, it was several. Now I’m at risk of getting food poisoning because I consumed some of the food before throwing out my entire order.
I also ordered the blue crab and that was also not fresh. The flavor of the boil sauce was disgusting and the seafood arrived in oil, not sauce. This was not a boil, it was a bag of seafood in grease and burnt disgusting sauce that tasted awful. I am surprised that the cook even allowed this food to leave the kitchen and serve it to a customer. I am literally shocked.
I don’t know what happened to this place but this was a waste of $100+ dollars. The quality and taste isn’t the same and I will never spend another dime on this restaurant again. I’m trying to get Uber eats to address my issues and complaints. The health department needs to be called, which I’m planning on doing. They also need to hire a new cook and do quality test to make sure they are giving their customers quality food that won’t result in food poisoning.

Greeted and sat immediately upon entering the restaurant. Server was very attentive and detailed about explaining the menu selection process. Happy hour drink special was a nice size for two and potent. Seafood arrived quickly and was extremely flavorful. Would definitely go back for another visit. Not crazy about the bib and gloves but it adds to the experience.

Second time here. Nice to have a seafood place in the uptown area. The food was good, and now I don't have to go to City Island all the time. However, the Fried Oysters were bland, and I could have eaten the Clams without the sauce. It didn't taste good with the garlic butter sauce, but overall, the food was pretty good.
