I drive past this place from work time to time. I finally decided to check it out. I didn’t know what to expect. Of course, others have said from the outer appearance nothing much, you wonder what it’s like. Walking in is def a low-lit restaurant with a fish tank center of the room. Go around and server is there to seat you. They have a live tank full of Lobster and Crabs. They have a displayed freezer with take home product you can cook at home. There is a small bar and def enough room for family or groups. They also serve Pho. Full menu of dishes and platters of mixed sea food. Louisiana style and mixed Asian fusion. They do have a sit-down bar but serves beer only until they get their liquor license. Keep note that they will have shipment of the fresh crabs and lobster mostly weekends so best to go on weekends. Weekdays choices are limited on seafood since they get them live. I came on a Tues which was limited on choices of what they had on the menu when wanting the family platter mix. I couldn’t get any mixed platters of shrimp or seafood due to lack of current supply but when they get it, it goes fast. So will say I never ordered a live crab from a tank to have for dinner. I treated myself. I never had a whole crab to myself before. Usually just legs. Server was so nice to come over and help me since I didn’t know what I was doing. She brought scissors and helped/showed me how it’s done. I’m glad she helped because I didn’t know how to get into the head of the crab or know what parts to eat! Very sweet of her to show me. The flavors are amazing. The sausage was REALLY good and came with potato and corn. Wish little more of the sides. Only got 1 potato, 1 corn and 2 sausages. Not enough pieces of that for what I’m paying. Another restaurant I’ve had a lobster tail with bunch of sides so be nice to get a little more bang for your buck instead of just a crab if spending over $30. Overall I will say I’ll be back to check to check out weekend vibes and may update you on here of what weekends are like. Sunday March 24th: I came back for round 2. This time I got the lobster along with starter of gumbo. Did not disappoint. Had the same nice server. Picked a nice size lobster for me. They must have read my review previous cause I got more corn and sausage with potatoes! I’ve posted the lobster pics with the seafood gumbo. I’ve shown phots and shared with friends of my experience and they all want to try this place now. One question a friend asked, can they buy a live crab or lobster to take home and prepare themselves? Idk but I will say you’d be missing out the seasoning they put on and way they cook it is fresh and packs flavor town. Another nice feature is they have a wash station to get your hands cleaned once demolishing your meal if you decide not to use gloves. Next visit will be the seafood combo platter with a couple of friends. So far best place in Nashville for fresh seafood in my book. I also support local business so come check...
Read moreOk, this was a rare one-and-done for me. The first thing that caught my eye was the setup of the place which of course should be inviting and relaxing. Upon entering the greeter says wherever you like. So we chose a random table and grabbed the menus. Then the downward slide begins. Having lived in southern Louisiana I'm very familiar with crawfish boils, Louisiana cajun seafood cooking, Gumbo, and so forth. My wife orders a fish poorboy with fries. The sad thing is it's misrepresented on the menu. We're told the fish on the poorboy was fish nuggets instead of a fish filet. So you have this enormous bread sandwich with all of the fixings and this miscarriage of fish choice that's just disgustingly disrespectful. When we got the waiter's attention we quickly questioned the lack of fish in the sandwich. Needless to say, that was a waste of time but hey, it totally caught us off guard. Usually I wouldn't be this descriptive but how that waitress defended the absence of fish on that huge sandwich was an epic fail. We paid for the entire meal knowing we'd never come back here for anything. There are too many other choices that took the time to...
Read moreI wanted to try this place out because I live close and LOVE seafood so I would have been a regular if it was good. I tried to call for a takeout order after reviewing their menu. I couldn't get through to a person but was sent a link to order. I wanted a Shrimp or Oyster PoBoy. On their menu it's $15. On the link they basically forced me to use it was $22!!!! $22, almost $23 and that didn't include tax. So with tax around $25 for A POYBOY!!!!!!! Thats insane. And it's just wrong to have one price if you go into the restaurant and other to order on THEIR OWN WEBSITE. I understand price increases when using services such as Doordash because restaurants are charged a fee BUT NOT WHEN ITS YOUR OWN SITE!!! And they won't answer the phone and take an order over the phone like any other restaurant would but push you to use their website and pay ALOT more. It's ashamed because I would have liked to try them out but at $25 for a POboy (po being short for POOR) NO THANK YOU!!!!!!
You don't even pay that much for a poboy at "nice" restaurants. What are these...
