Quick Take

This place, decorated in a kind of high-style grunge, serves up fish every which way. Some are loaded with butter and cream, and some aren't.

Editorial Review

The Food section rated this restaurant's crab cake for a July 2009 story about the area's best.

These seemed promising at first: good color, lots of crab, not much filler. The crabmeat is from Venezuela, but the seasoning was so peppery that it obliterated any sweetness, and the crunch of the exterior was marred by greasiness. The accompaniments didn't help: a basic tartar sauce and corn on the cob that had been overcooked to mush.

Two 5-ounce jumbo-lump/lump crab cakes, $26

(July 29, 2009)

Delicious food, great service

Posted by timothyhamlin | Sep 27, 2009 | Mark as Inappropriate

very good meal with excellent service. wait staff was attentive and helpful and the food was fresh and well prepared.

Poor management, mediocre food.

I agree with the previous reviewer that this place is NOT what it seems and the management is dishonest and rude. The food is bland. May I suggest Mei Wah directly next door for excellent food and value with management and service that really cares about keeping your business.

Not what they seem..

The atmosphere was nice, the waitress was good, however the manager was rude and unprofessional. It was a group of six adults and 2 young kids who were less than 18 months old. We called to see if they were "kid friendly" prior to us arriving. They said yes. However, the rude manager asked us to quiet the kids with bottles or pacifers. They weren't out of control, they were laughing and showing their happiness with discreet outbursts of joy. After that we felt uncomfortable and was ready to go. I would not recommend this restaurant.
