My sister had heard about this restaurant and wanted to try it. So she and I went this past Saturday night. Unfortunately, I think I was coming down with a cold but I still joined her.
The restaurant has a weird set-up, apparently 2 restaurants share one space. When you walk in, you walk towards a very small bar and the seafood restaurant is on the right and a Japanese restaurant is on the left. Both looked almost full.
Apparently, one hostess was taking care of both restaurants but not being very good at letting us know that. Even though I stood near the seafood restaurant hostess stand for several minutes, she never gave me any attention. Only after I heard her talk to a couple about the seafood restaurant at the Japanese restaurant hostess stand, did I walk over to her and ask if she was also taking care of the seafood restaurant. She said sure, she would be right there to help me. Once I did get her attention, I was directed right to a table.
The setting is a little strange, my seat was near the busy entrance with half walls between the tables and the entrance. The ambiance gets a low mark. There weren't any 'good seats' anywhere in the seafood side.
But the food............yummy! Both of us opted for the Lobster Bisque as an appetizer and it was great. A big bowl of very flavorful soup, big chunks of lobster, perfect eating temperature.
The side salad was just okay. Mostly iceberg lettuce, a couple of grape tomatoes, the blue cheese dressing was okay.
My sister opted for one of her favorites with a twist, which she loves even more: Lobster Raviolis with Spinach. 6 raviolis were served with sauteed spinach and a cream sauce. She enjoyed it but i thought the serving size should have been a little more generous for the price.
I ordered a Seafood Casserole which was awesome. Unfortunately, after the very filling lobster bisque, salad and one roll (a nice warm, whole grain, flavorful roll) and an oncoming cold, I was only able to eat a little at that time. But it was a generous portion of shrimps, scallops and big pieces of lobster over a crabmeat stuffing with nice crisp green beans and a baked potato. But my leftovers heated very well and still was very tasty!
Side note: They had a small lobster tank near the entrance where, apparently, you can pick your own fresh lobster if desired.
Final rating (out of 5)
Restaurant(appearance, ambiance): 3
Service(hostess, waitress): 4
Food: 4.5 (almost perfect)
Would I go back again? Yes! But don't plan on going to this place for a romantic dinner, just for good food!
