Food was delicious and fresh ambiance was nice, place is small but cozy. Staff was very attentive and accommodating. It's the type of place you would like to stay awhile. I went to happy Hour with a friend and the drinks were on point with a nice price point. They even have dessert sold separately. A little pricy but for seafood it's worth it.

Staff were super friendly! Food was delicious. Only thing that could be better-- snow crab bag (full) only had 2 clusters and one was a bit small.

I was planning to go eat at the restaurant but ended up didn't go because I was sick, so I order delivery instead. Food came on time but somehow it leaked so bad outside the bag. I got Twin Lobster Tails: for the price, I feel it a bit higher price than another Cajun restaurant, plus it is kind of small. Snow Crab Legs: is good but I expected the sauce to be more spicy than oily. Overall, the food is good. I wish I could go to eat at the restaurant. It would be better.
