We visited for my birthday dinner, me and my husband and 3 children had a great time. The food was all delicious and hot! The menu was explained clearly by our waiter. He was very very nice, fast, and attentive to us and all his other tables. His name was Ciro! Everyone was having a good time and all the waiters and waitresses were so nice to everyone around us!

First time here and it was amazing! Server brought out a sushi menu that they just started serving, and is also included in the all you can eat! Everything was delicious and service was amazing. Iliani was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Will definitely be returning!

We recently dined at this restaurant for the first time, and while our experience had its ups and downs, it was overall enjoyable. We were served by a new waitress on her first day. She was extremely sweet, polite, and attentive. However, due to her lack of training, she couldn't quite explain the best way to navigate the buffet, and there was a noticeable language barrier. This was a bit disappointing. Thankfully, towards the end of our meal, a more experienced waiter stepped in to assist her. He didn't take over our table but instead helped by thoroughly explaining the most efficient way to order. He advised us to order all the food we wanted from the menu at the very beginning to ensure timely service. This tip was invaluable and greatly appreciated. Despite the initial hiccups, the food was fantastic. I highly recommend the Rockefeller oysters, snow crabs, clam chowder soup, and calamari. Every appetizer was amazing! We will definitely be returning.

Appetizers: 5/10 Ribeye: 3/10 Seafood: 10/10 Dessert: 10/10 Beer: 10/10 The portions are great. We both had the seafood boil. The flavor was great. We did the trifecta medium, had the crab legs, crawfish, shrimp, scallops, muscles, and clams. 100% recommended that any of it is great. The chocolate cake was also delicious. Beers were cold, had 2 coronas, and were 4.50 each. Will definitely be back for some more and try other things next time. As for the steak, it was no bueno. Very tough and chewy. We asked for the ribeye medium. They brought the first, and it was well done. They didn't have baked potatoes at the time, so they offered loaded mash, which was cold. They offered to take it back without a problem and brought out a new one. Same thing, though. The flavor was good, but the meat was not. Don't think I will get the steak next time. For appetizers, we had the Calamari and bacon wrapped scallops. Both were ok. The price was $102 It was the weekend, so it was dinner prices 39.99 each with 2 beers, 4.50 each

Seafood was not quite Cajun seasoning but it was good. Green beans were horrible. Steaks and calimari were awesome and margaritas were great!! Our server was the best he explained the menu and helped my son with any questions he had . Would definitely go back and recommend for others to go. The best mom and son memory!

Had dinner here last night with 12 people. Our second time, first time for the rest. We all had the $30 Seafood Buffet! Everyone loved it!! Between us all, I think we sampled most of the items. Crablegs, red snapper, scallops, alligator, calamari, shrimp, clam chowder, Oyster on the half shell, and Oyster Rockefeller, and even about three had steak etc... Everyone loved what they chose! Great quality food, prepared beautifully, excellent service. Our waiters had nice, fun personalities! Made our evening a fun time!

We just had my son’s birthday dinner celebration. We had a good time. Special recognition to our server Michael who was very attentive to our needs and food choices. 4 stars on the food only because the steak fell short - meat was tough! We ordered medium and they served us well done. They changed it to medium but meat was still tough. And they didn’t have the key lime pie 👎🏻 But overall, a good experience. Will definitely go back.

My husband and I came here for our two year wedding anniversary. The staff was very nice and helpful and we even received a free dessert. For appetizer we got the crab cake with this zesty tomato sauce, honestly the crab tasted a little more like Tuna, but it was delicious ($16). We shared the Thursday special which included snow crab and shrimp with a Cajun seasoning and medium sauce. We aren't seafood boil experts but it was delicious, if anything I recommend going spicier because the medium was more of a mild ($29). We also shared a new York strip 8 oz with broccoli and Cajun fries($18.99). I ordered my steak medium but it came out rare (not complaining honestly). My husband also got the clam chowder and it was amazing, very smooth and more bacon than anything ($5). The manager Cecilio also offered us a sample of gumbo which was one of the best we've had here in the valley. They also gave us a free apple pie that was decorated beautifully. Overall great food and ever better experience. I will say, this place is not kid friendly so just keep that in mind. The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful.
