Been coming here throughout when they first open. The service is always outstanding and the food is always fresh and delicious. Never had any problems here. And I always feel welcome here!

My tilapia special was delicious. Creamy clam chowder not creamy at all. Seemed very watery. Roll for po' boy could be a little smaller. Fell apart on my dad. Mashed potatoes, great flavor. Sean server was awesome.

Our waiter was super pleasant and very informative. I am also surprised how this restaurant has such a high rating. The food was absolutely horrible. The oysters were ok. The crab and shrimp stuffed flounder was a huge disappointment. The crab cake was a miss and the seafood platter ???.

Great local fish restaurant with a Cajun flair. Unusually good for seafood in Lakeland. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. The oyster nachos are out of this world. No complaints, we like it fine.

Catfish was mushy,but shrimp and oysters were good. Red beans, rice, andouille, and chicken was very good. Prices are reasonable and happy hour drinks are great. Will try again.

How is this rated so high? 4 non picky eaters 4 dishes & 1 appetizer. 0 of us enjoyed our meal or experience 3 had upset stomachs either one person experiencing the runs. Props to the server on admitting certain dishes were gross and that some things were best ordered elsewhere. Not going to trust this chain again. Meal was bad, Service struggled, and atmosphere felt like they didn't want any customers here. Summary: 1. $22 seemed a bit much for 3 shrimp and two scallops. 2. Server suggested green beans 5 times. When I ordered asparagus she brought me green beans anyway. Maybe she was bullied by the cooks and they didn't want to do anything not out of a can? 3. Despite it being slow they were out of everything. 6/10 side side dishes could not be ordered. 4. A mix up on a gluten free dish meant one of us ate a flower coated shrimp before discovering they had not prepared it gluten free. 5. One appetizer, and four dishes later, all four of us regretted eating there and three of us had upset stomachs. 6. I had the runs after eating there. 7. Friend was literally amazed. He said he'd never seen everything go so wrong at once at a dining experience. Saturday night. Shoulda been suspicious when they weren't busy. They even told us they were going to start closing up early because it was such a slow night. Oddly, despite the slow night, they seemed to be out of almost everything. Under side dishes, I was supposed to pick two items. The server suggested five times I get the green beans. "No i don't care for those." Every selection I made the server replied, "we are out of that, so just the green beans then?" They were out of 6/10 side dishes. I asked about the coleslaw. The server replied, "it's gross. Your options are green beans or mash potatoes and you are already getting fries." No rice? "We'll make you plain white rice, but we are out of the lemon basil rice. So the beans then?" Then she remembered they had asparagus. I ordered asparagus and was given green beans instead. My friend was amazed at how badly our interaction was and this was with the most experienced server as most had only been there a few weeks. He ordered shrimp and grits. They were out of shrimp and grits. We asked about the crab legs, "They are just okay." "You don't like crab?" I asked the server. "I love crab I just get it somewhere else." Props to the server on honesty." While there's more details, it would take a novel to explain how bad everything went.

Got the choose 2 combo, the cole slaw was good but they were out of cheese grits. My friends got scallop and bacon shrimp wrap, he supposed to have asparagus but it came with green beans, the waitress told us his entree would get 10 shrimps but he got 3. Spicy shrimp appetizer was good, crab grilled cheese was good.
