- John BarkerApril 28, 2017The Hot Crab dip is awesome, as is the broiled seafood sampler. Don't forget the Rider Lemonade to quench your thirst! All around excellent time, great service, and yummy food!Upvote4Downvote
Konrad JonesJune 15, 2019Fresh oysters on the half shell, and the 8oz sirloin and crab cake was super tasty. Be sure to leave room for dessert! The homemade apple pie was delicious.UpvoteDownvote- Marcus Monreal Jr.November 3, 2013Crab cakes.. Delicious! Grilled fish tacos were alright for the area, a little biased towards some SoCal fish and tacos. Sweet and spicy shrimp was amazing! And, She-crab soup was just as good!Upvote1Downvote
Mike Mahdavi NYC-LA-TEH-KISH * insta—> NYCPERSIANSAugust 10, 2018The shrimp cocktail was great. The Dip was NOT what we had anticipated as every one had recommended, but the staff were very kind and Service animals are allowed.

sharon godfreyJuly 13, 2015My husband and I just had the most amazing dinner, We rarely eat out because we feel the food is always poorly prepared and the service is generally poor. This place has it going on!UpvoteDownvote
Bo AmbrogioAugust 11, 2014All the food is great here, but we probable won't be back. The 1st time here service was great. The last 2 times they forgot our order, forgot US, or just never came back until the check.UpvoteDownvote

- Kat WilsonJanuary 24, 2018Don't do the pasta... and scallops were so gritty. Over priced for what it was and all of the staff more interested in chatting with each other then working.Upvote1Downvote
