    The food is fabulous. Fresh, as of caught a moment ago seafood, generous sides, and friendly staff truly make up for the fact that it is so crowded you can barely move. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

    The freshest seafood in town for a reasonable price, served up in a family friendly atmosphere. Try the Jumbo Fried Clam Strips ($6.95), the Fish Tacos ($9.95) or a grouper sandwich ($9.95+). Read more

    Constantly hearing people say this place has the best/freshest sea food in Cincinnati. I'll have to go back, I'm disappointed I just got a lame salad. Lol
