“I'm so glad that my niece brought my family here for her daughter graduation celebration it was everything that one wants to share with love ones the place, food, it was a awesome experience thank you for your service“

“BANANA PUDDING = ORGASMIC Wish I could eat that everyday of my life seriously. Everything we get from saucey is always banging but that pudding though 🤤👀“

“We went to this wonderful restaurant today for the first time, and it was unbelievably great! The man who waited on us answered all of our questions, the environment is warm and inviting, the service was the best ever, service was great, and we were not hurried in any way. Prices are reasonable and the quantity of food is spot on for hungry people. And of course, don't forget the desserts. There is a whole case of desserts to choose, and they were DELICIOUS. We will definitely go back and go back again and again.“

“celebrated my sisters 30th, the food was incredible. i plan to return asap for valentines day! I highly highly recommend“

“The atmosphere was was great. Our waitress Bella( at the Rochester one) was amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly sling with our hostess and other table help. Was a great experience. The only thing I was disappointed in ( which wasn’t any of these peoples doing) was my porterhouse steak. For the money, it should have been a nice cut. It was an end cut, one that even some stores don’t use…let alone a very upscale restaurant. It was also supposed to be med rare n was med. I didn’t send it back because st least it was pink, but it was well past med rare. My crab cake was very good. The lobster and crab mac and cheese was also very good. I’d definitely recommend and go back. Just not sure if I’d get the porterhouse again. Probably go with just the filet.“

“Dinner tonight was fabulous. Fresh, great quality. I had the French dip, which I honestly must say between the beef, bread, couldn’t be better! I had the homemade mashed as a side. Excellent! The garden side salad was perfect combination of vegetables nicely prepared. My guest ordered the cottage pie all I can say is wow and it was also said to be very delicious and beautifully done. I haven’t been in some years it was pleasant to be back. The bar drinks looked amazing as well! You can’t be disappointed here! Our server Hailey was friendly and provided great service. A big thank you for not changing All these years and keeping it amazing as it always has been!“

“First time at Thurston Seafood after an airport drop off of a friend. I have a love for seafood ~ fried being at the top of my list. I also grew up having kin that knew how to prepare and cook fresh seafood. It’s all about the coating when fried. You need just the right amount of seasoning to bring out the flavor, not overpower it. My ocean perch and seafood was cooked just right, but it was missing something. I found it to be a bit bland (but still good!); the same w/the french fries as they needed just a touch of salt. I think a light hand w/some seafood seasoning mix would have made the generous portioned meal perfect.
The woman that took my order was very nice. The place appeared to be quite clean (it is take out only), and there was a fairly steady steam as I ate my meal in the parking lot, finishing just before 5:00 pm.“

“Our first time here and we will be back. This was one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had. Thank you for the delicious meal, hospitality and the lovely environment. 🤍“

“Vibes with flavors, more than food“

“Went right at opening and the owner and staff were taste testing dishes for the evening. It was great to see how much the owner and staff cared about the food.. Lily was the server and she was knowledgeable on the wine and food selection. I noticed they do allow bringing your own wine if that interests you. The oysters came predressed, which I didn't like at first but changed my mind once I ate, just don't put lemon on the vinegar dressed ones! Mussels were awesome, could've drank the broth. Octopus was actually a pasta dish served in a red sauce, doesn't say this on the menu, I only ordered because I saw the staff sample it. The clams looked amazing but was unfortunately too full to try. All in all great experience and will be back!“

“Fantastic food as always!! Duck was cooked perfectly!“

“Brought my daughter for the first time and she loved it!“

“UPDATE!!!
Went on Thursday for the Tasha Pasta! Absolutely Amazing!!! I decided to try the salmon chunks again and did NOT regret it! The salmon was ON POINT! Definitely coming back next week!!! This might be my regular Thursday meal.“

“Just stopped there for the first time today. I got a fried lobster tail, hush puppies, scallops and crab salad. Everything was delicious and he gave me a free crab salad because it was almost closing time. The owner is a super nice guy. I will be going back atleast once a week. Great prices too.“
