Outstanding food and great service!
We had a reservation for a party of 6 on Mother Day. Everything was phenomenal and everyone loved their meals! The place is a mix of modern, upscale shabby chique, fine dining seafood, with a look and atmosphere that would be comfortable for anyone and any occasion.
We ordered the crab dip and the sweet and spicy shrimp as appetizers. The crab dip was delicious and the fried pita points were great! The pita points were soft and flavorful and complimented the unique and delicious crab dip wonderfully! The sweet and spicy shrimp was exactly that. A perfect blend of sweet and spicy while never teetering toward more spicy than sweet. They were medium to large shrimp and there was plenty for everyone to try it.
I ordered the roasted red pepper and crab bisque hoping it would come close to a good she crab soup. All I have to say is WOW! It was better than anything than I could have expected and completely blew away my expectations. It is one of the best crab soups I have ever had. I was expecting a she crab with some peppers in it. Absolutely not! The roasted red peppers are pureed and mixed in the bisque with a good amount of crab creating one of the best soups I have ever had! Next time we have to drive by the Cape Fear Seafood Company. I am going to stop by just for this soup and order two of the larger portions. Absolutely amazing!
For dinner I had the Cabo tacos with grilled shrimp. They were great as well! The mango salsa was delicious and really made the dish a home run! You get two large tacos with about 10-12 shrimp for both. The shrimp themselves had a lot of flavor which you usually dont see. I put the Chipotle ranch for the salad on them as well.
The kids popcorn shrimp was actually really good. So much flavor and I found myself stealing a few off their plates as well haha.
Overall this was one of the best experiences I have had with a restaurant in a long time. Where everything we ordered was exceptionally good. Usually you order a bunch of stuff and one or two things stand out that you really enjoy. But not here! Every single thing we ordered was phenomenal and we cannot wait to go back!
I also just want to mention that not only was the food great, but the service was as well. Hannah S was our server and she did an outstanding job. She was attentive, fun and on top of things. From the hosts, to our server, to the manager who helped run food, everything and everyone was great!
We can't wait to go back to try some more of the dishes and you should not hesitate to stop and give this...
Read moreAfter hearing great things about this restaurant my friends and I decided to try it. It was 445 pm on a Saturday night and the restaurant was about a third full. We had reservations and was sat immediately. We waited about 10 minutes before a server approached us. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. I asked her if there was a way that I could order fried and grilled shrimp on a platter or order the grilled shrimp and add on fried shrimp. She said she would have to ask her manager the best way to do that and took our drink order. When she arrived back with our drinks she stated she forgot to ask about my request. I told her it wasn’t important and ordered the fried shrimp. She was training a guy that did walk away to ask. Two of us got salads and they were delivered quickly and were delicious. The food came out shortly afterwards and was fresh and hot. Our server was seated two more tables and that ended our service. I was drinking a Diet Coke and had to flag her down for a refill. When she brought my refill my friend asked for another glass of wine. The next time we seen our server she came to remove our plates and asked if we needed to go boxes. We did request 2 boxes and she never mentioned the wine. When she brought the to go boxes we told her to cancel the wine and she admitted she forgot. We did request a bag for the boxes. She brought the bill and we paid with a credit card and cash tip. Although she wasn’t the best server we did tip 30% because my friends own 3 restaurants in North Carolina and normally tip at least 50% of the bill. When she picked up the bill we once again requested a bag. She returned with the credit card and for the 3rd time we requested a bag. After 10 minutes we stopped a different server for a bag. At this point we were all over the server and she is lucky we had already tipped her or she would have gotten a 10% tip. The food was good but unfortunately the service was not. I would hesitate to take friends here again especially if we wanted a nice dinner experience. Our server was Stephanie and she didn’t give us the service that you expect from a...
