It is expensive and the food is mediocre at best. I ordered a filet mignon cooked medium and I got a well done steak that looked and tasted like a sirloin. Also annoying that it took so long because most of our food was cold. Unfortunately the birthday person's plate was also adorned with a hair from one of the cooks. They did not offer to remove the meal from the bill, we had to ask for it to be removed. Just a pretty disappointing experience for extremely overpriced food. We won't be back. Update: Just talked to the birthday person and they confirmed that the "re-made" plate also had a hair on it. Disgusting!!! Do better!!

Nestled inside of King Canary Brewing (Davidson location), Marlee Jeans is a fresh casual fare…read moreseafood restaurant with options for those allergic to seafood. Chef Erick + team take every measure to prevent cross contamination for those with allergies - whether seafood or gluten. I also love the way their set up is: order your drinks from king canary, order your food from the Marlee Jeans side. It's perfect for gathering with a group as they give you a number tent and the server/food runner brings you the food as soon as it is prepared. In my opinion, this prevents food from sitting in the windows and getting cold cause "it's not my table." The concept of gathering your own utensils (not plastic) is spot on as it allows those who only want to drink and sit and socialize not feel pressured to order a full sit down meal, thus washing cutlery that's never been used. For this most recent visit, I took advantage of their snow-weather special: $30 for 1 dozen raw oysters as well as their lobster Mac and cheese. Coming out hot and bubbly with a cheese crust, I had to wait for the Mac and cheese to cool off to eat. I sat at the raw bar and watched Chef Erick personally shuck my oysters. My short rib quesadilla was just as flavorful though I think I prefer the short rib panini instead.

The inside had a really fun vibe and decor, but we ended up sitting outside on the patio since we had our dogs with us. Super relaxed atmosphere and a great place to hang out for lunch. You order food and drinks at the counter and they bring everything out to your table. I originally wanted sweet tea (sadly they didn't have any ), so I switched it up and ordered their spicy Bloody Mary instead... and WOW. Holy moly, it was GOOD. Easily the highlight of the meal for me. We tried a few different things -- the tuna wontons, burrata salad with shrimp, panini, and potato wedges. The presentation was great and everything was decent, but the food itself was just okay overall. Atmosphere and drinks definitely carried the experience for me. Giving this one 4 stars because the vibe was really nice, patio was dog-friendly, and that Bloody Mary deserves its own shoutout.

Having never been there we relied on the server and he came through! He said he got us and surprised us with all amazing dishes from the apps to the main. Had the oysters - both steamed and Rockefeller and both were delicious! Awesome choice! For the entree my buddy had the stuffed cod and he said it was good! He also had the lobster risotto and the lobster loaded mashed potatoes. He said everything was amazing! I had the fried lobster and shrimp with the lobster bisque. The bisque was good with slightly too much sherry but after awhile you didn't even notice. Good sized chunks of lobster throughout an silky smoothie! Fantastic! The fried liver and shrimp were breaded and cooked perfectly! Nothing dry and everything perfectly moist. This place is a must try! If you're in the area and hesitant, don't be. It's fantastic! Great food and great vibes!

I made the mistake of giving this place a THIRD try but it was not a charm. Based on the reviews I…read morewas sure I just had it wrong but this place is terrible. The food cannot be fresh. It looks like something direct from US Foods and thrown in a fryer. The service and the restaurant policies are so opposite of customer focused. They do not have outdoor service even though they have about 15 tables out. Apparently those are for "waiting" for an inside table. We brought our dog so planned to sit outside as we had done before. No longer an option but you can order to go. I was exhausted so and just wanted a nice dinner I didn't have to cook so I ordered to go. However, you cannot eat your food at their "waiting" tables. After we received our to go order I was told I had to move to a different area to eat the food: All of though the tables outside were open. The hostess should get an award for smiling while being so rude. Oh and someone came in with a service dog that was questionable at best; however, the person showed the service dog card at which point the hostess asked what service the dog performed (has she heard of HIPPA?). Find another place if you want good food or service.

And WHAT A MEAL. Explains why it's tough to get in! We arrived early for our reservation and were seated in the bar (which we like) rather than the main dining room. A little slow to start (perhaps we threw off their rhythm)...but went on for a great meal. Nice selection of reasonably priced and interesting wines by the glass. We started with the crab dip which is served with a lot of delicious focaccia. Truth is, that might have been enough...but we continued! She had the scallops, and I the swordfish. Both really outstanding. The swordfish in particular was impressive -- sizable and thick filet that was, nonetheless, not dry in the least. It's pricey. It's hard to get in to.

I visited here over the holiday and was immediately excited, as the entrance provides a view into the kitchen, so you're able to see how precise every cook is about the food that's being served. We were seated towards the back which provided a more intimate vibe - much appreciated. Our server was pleasant and well-informed on both the history of the place and the food menu. As other reviews have pointed out, it's a seafood spot but you have options if your tastebuds call for something else. From the oysters to the main dish - EVERYTHING was great! I've put this place on my list of spots to keep in rotation, because it sincerely is that good! Make a reservation and go check them out!
