So… I’ll admit I’m a little out of my element here as a lifelong vegetarian at a seafood restaurant, HOWEVER. This was one of the most fun and unforgettable dinner experiences that I’ve had in quite some time. Our group of 5 gathered at the Waterfront in West Des Moines tonight to catch up and have some great food and drinks, and oh man did we. Our server Jeff was SO fantastic. We can not recommend him enough. He took care of us so diligently and was spot on with every recommendation. Everything we ate was superb. I was the odd one out in the group, having never been here before, but we will for sure be back. Jeff was so fun, energetic, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. We will be asking for him by name each time in the future. Thanks so much again!

Food can be good, some dishes are wildly better than others. Service is average, ambiance is slightly below average, the host stand will ignore you for a good five minutes until they decide it’s time to seat you. The shrimp pasta I had was quite good

Amazing and fresh and perfectly prepared seafood. Had some sushi as well as scallop special appetizer. We also had two entrees of the regular menu. Everything was exceptional including service.

We keep coming back but always find that the food is very under seasoned and very bland. The soups are amazing. The service is great and the atmosphere is decent.

2 catfish & chips platters for $40, gtfoh!!!! I ordered this 50 minutes ago, my son & I both say it's not worth it. No seasoning, very bland. The fries were better than the fish. Smh!
