I recently dined at Roux Seafood Kitchen and had a pleasant experience. The ambiance is quite nice, highlighted by a beautiful wall of wines that adds a touch of elegance. They offer some IPAs, I picked 10 Hop Hazy IPA, which I thoroughly enjoyed. For starters, I had the New Orleans Gumbo, which was flavorful and rich. The main course was a delightful Chilean Seabass and Shrimp dish, perfectly cooked and seasoned. I also tried the Jambalaya, which had a great mix of spices and ingredients. The food is good and made to order, ensuring freshness and quality. However, the wait time was a bit longer than expected, even though the restaurant wasn't busy at the time. Despite this, the service was good, with friendly and attentive staff. Overall, if you're in the mood for some well-prepared seafood and a nice atmosphere, I recommend giving Roux Seafood Kitchen a try!

Best Cajun food in Southern California. A hidden gem. The gumbo is rich and hearty with the right amount of spice and the oysters are delicious. Fried, steamed or on the half shell. Service was on point. Friendly, attentive and paid attention to detail. Love this restaurant

Love this place. Food is very good and tasty. Excellently prepared and seasoned with that Louisiana flavor that you look for when you from the south!

Dealing with the manager at this establishment was an absolute NIGHTMARE. Our steak came with 1 side so we picked fries didn’t realize that the seafood platter also came with fries. We asked to switch fries to vegetables but he told the waiter it could not be done. We then asked the waiter to replace fries that came with our steak to veggies. The waiter went inside to ask him came back stating fries couldn’t be switched. We didn’t mind paying extra for veggies so Why couldn’t it be done? The story got better when this absurd manager randomly added an extra corkage fee to our bill without any prior mention or request to open. We asked the waiter she said she didn’t know anything about the added extra charge. When we questioned the manager, his response was “we automatically charge corkage for bottles on your table.” This kind of behavior is dishonest! The experience at this restaurant was completely ruined by the manager’s behavior. It’s evident he has no idea how to run a business or handle customers effectively. Instead of resolving a simple issue, he made things worse with his lack of common sense and poor communication skills. It’s hard to believe someone so incompetent is in charge. Until the management improves, I can’t recommend this place to anyone.

I came here on vacation and It was the best food and the best service. I had the steak strips & fries. My family had a variety of different dishes. Pasta, fish, steak. The food was so good we cleaned our plates, I wanted to eat it all over again. The service AMAZING. Very kind and attentive. I will came back to this place every time I visit.

My family was visiting from out of state & found this restaurant online. I'm a local & have never dined here. What a most fabulous find! Hesitant to try somewhere new to insure my family had a wonderful experience - this restaurant far exceeded our expectations. We could not have asked for a more perfect dining experience and evening. Each ordered a different item - all delicious with a blend of flavors perfectly mastered and served up hot on a skillet to stay warm vs a plate. Our server was beyond wonderful; so attentive, engaging, and sweet. I will be returning with more family and friends. The prices are reasonable as well. Easy parking right in front, plenty of parking Thank you for providing us a perfect evening!
