I had apps there they were good. I ordered coconut shrimp plate to go and seafood platter in which all the shrimp were burnt not worth eating. Fish was all that was good. Not worth spending 200 for 3 out of 4 plates to be burnt n not able to be eaten.

We’ve been to OB several times and the food has been great but last night not so much - I had the coconut shrimp basket the shrimp tasted like they were made hours earlier and been sitting under a heat lamp, my wife’s stuffed shrimp basket wasn’t much better - a bit

Went for the bogo fish and chips and noticed the 3 fish strips might have equaled 1 very small piece of fish. It's much smaller than the last few times we've been. The wedges were excellent, as was the creamed spinach! Our server was EXCELLENT as always! It was her 50th birthday, and she was so good, and she's normally always our server on Mondays bc that's her scheduled day! It's still a favorite of mine!

Be cautious of your food order. This past evening, we had the bisque, stuffed shrimp, fish tacos, beans and rice, and some toast. I only had a bite of the fish taco that my date had ordered. 30 minutes later, we were both taking turns in the bathroom. I only had minor symptoms.They had NVD. It ruined our night. Everything tasted right, neither of us have food allergies, Service was good, atmosphere was nice, but $100 bill for a terrible night afterwards, plain sucked. I have to agree with Jocelynn in an earlier review. The stuffed shrimp should be renamed, stuffing and shrimp. The shrimp are small and not stuffed. The sauce is off for the dish as well.

Ordered “baked stuff shrimp” which was supposed to be jumbo shrimp stuffed with crab cakes. The crab breading mix was at the bottom of the dish topped with small shrimp and a soupy white sauce, not what was expected considering the dish’s name and description. Was expecting jumbo shrimp butterflied and stuffed with crab. For the side item, I selected creamed spinach which was served rancid. The waiter did absolutely nothing about the fact spoiled food was served. NOTHING. Management didn’t even come to our table to follow up, to apologize, to see how we were doing, again… NOTHING. For the drink I ordered a coco loco which was different as it was supposed to be a coconut flavored margarita, it was lemon & lime and just as bad as everything else they served. Save your money and don’t bother patronizing this restaurant. Very disappointed with the food, the drinks and the service. Unfortunately 1 star is the lowest allowed because this establishment deserves none.
Decent local eatery that's worth a try. Set menu & rotating daily options. As is the case with most seafood places, there's more options here than seafood. I think I've had ribs before as a daily special.

Great service and everything was yummy but the fried fish! Hoping this was just a bad night for fish, go with the shrimp instead. Cute establishment and will give it another try soon!

Hubby and I stopped here for "Valentine's" dinner before our son's baseball game. I was excited because I love seafood but was sorely disappointed. We started with an appetizer; crab dip. It was bright out promptly... A little too fast for me but the place wasn't busy (it was around 3/4pm). I immediately could smell warm tuna and not crab. I tried the dip and yep... It even tasted like tuna. If it was crab it was the shredded any not lump. We moved on to the main entrees; Cajun redfish (hubby) and jumbo stuffed shrimp. Hubby loved his food while mine missed the mark. Shrimp weren't jumbo... Weren't even butterflied to be stuffed. And the disappointment continued when I revealed the "crab cakes" that were supposed to be stuffed into the shrimp. It was the EXACT same mix that was presented in our appetizer! Everything was covered with this thick white sauce that wasn't appetizing or went well with shrimp. The garlic parsley potatoes were overly seasoned with garlic, no parsley and whole I was told they were oven roasted, they weren't. They looked boiled and mashed (partially). I asked to sub them for a Cesar salad which I didn't eat because it had a vinegar based dressing and not the creamy dressing that I usually get with such a salad. I ended up only eating the 6 sad little shrimp that were supposed to be jumbo and stuffed. Our waiter was cool. He took care of us immediately. We were seated, immediately. But unfortunately, my selection was not one for the books or to recommend. Street parking only.
