Beril E.Beril Esen: Amazing atmosphere: If you come here, you'll listen to live music with songs from Al Green while tasting delicious seafood. Order the king crab legs; you won't regret it. Scallops are a bit overrated.

Cat G.Cat Gao: Get the stone crab, spinach stuffed mushrooms, crab bisque, and roasted corn. Food and service were both fantastic.
