I just visited this location for the first time. My mom has been mentioning this place to me for sometime. She decided to host an event here so i finally got to experience it for myself.
This place is GREAT. The staff is nothing short of amazing. Jonathan is one of the waiters and he was extremely accommodating and nice.
From the front, this place is quite deceiving. You think its a traditional seafood market but in the back, its a full restaurant, with an amazing ambiance. The decor is beautiful. The space in the back is quite spacious. It also looks like they have an event room that you can potentially book for a private party which is awesome. What i appreciate most about this place is that its a casual spot. You can dress up or down. It's such a laid back vibe.
The DJ was on point. We visited on a Wednesday and the music was lit. He put on so many jams, my mom and her friends were so happy. I can see multiple age groups loving the vibe here, anyone from 25 to 70.
The menu is pretty large and caters to alot of people. Since my mom was hosting a party, she opted for the $60 per person menu. It included a appetizer and entree. The food was on point. I have nothing bad to say here. We had a mix of items but they included, shrimp empanadas, chicken empanadas, chicken wings, salmon, shrimp, fried fish, collard greens, mac and cheese, candied yams and cabbage. Literally everything was delicious. The greens were so flavorful and did include smoked meat. The mac was creamy and cheesy. The empanadas were delicious, especially the shrimp one. The fish and shrimp were fried to perfection and tasty. The salmon was nice big filets, it was juicy and tasty. When the meals came, everyone was silent. The food stole the show for those few minutes. We brought our own cake which the staff in the restaurant was aokay with. They provided us with extra plates to serve it. They use plastic plates, cups and utensils here. Honestly, im not mad at it. It keeps there food prices lower and helps keep the service faster. I am not mad at it. My mom preordered two containers of shirley temple and one pitcher of tequila punch, it was blue. The pitchers are the WORST. That was my only complaint. We spilled most of the drink, trying to fill a cup. They need to put the drinks into different containers, those pitchers are not it.
After cutting the cake, the staff surprised my mom with sparklers, a sign that said "shine the light on em", a bottle of champagne. They did a phenomenal job of making her feel amazing. Since my mom visits there often, they knew her and know she just survived open heart surgery. They made it their business to make this event special for her. I am beyond appreciative of them for this gesture. She cried for like 10 minutes. This was a beautiful surprise to end the evening.
Overall this place is amazing. My family and i are already discussing the next event we will be hosting here. I cannot wait. If you havent come here, make it your business to stop by and dine IN. Ask for Jonathan.
