Visiting Austin and loving all the choices for all things FOOD! Found this place and decided to…read moregive it a try, very great idea! Conveniently located in a shopping strip, Burnet & Anderson. We missed lunch specials by 5 minutes but it was all good. I ordered the Boudin Balls with shrimp fried rice as my side, my daughter had fried catfish with fries and my son had the grilled catfish with cilantro rice and steamed vegetables. Everything was so good, I mean all of our plates were filled with such deliciousness. Upon entering walk to the counter to place your order, a number is provided to you as placement on your table, your order is brought to your table. There are TV's all around and nifty decor being all things Austin. We will be a returning to try other menu items.

Great spot for seafood…read more Service and atmosphere: The service was very good from get go. Our server was polite, friendly and helped us decide on food selections. The restaurant looks very nice inside. They offer comfortable seating arrangements. There is also nice bar area where you can sit at and order your drinks and food. Food and drinks: The restaurant has well designed menu and offer good selection of seafood options. I chose wild caught snapper. The fish was cooked perfectly. The fish was flaky and tender. The ginger sauce accompanied it superb. The Chinese broccolini was steamed and served with flavoured butter. The cheese dip with crab and crunchy bread was also great. The signature cocktails looked good and would opt for one next time. Pricing: $$$ - well worth the quality of food served.

By far, this is one of my favorite restaurants in Texas. Their Cajon food is one of the best I have…read morehad outside of New Orleans. My go to is their Crawfish Étouffée but there are many other Cajon dishes to try. Their service is always top notch and they have allot of hospitality throughout your entire dinning experience. The interior of their restaurant takes after the New Orleans style and reminds me of being there. Even when we go through Dallas airport, we try to schedule time between our flights so we can get dinner at another Pappadeaux's restaurant located on one of their terminals. Can't wait to go back!

This restaurant was pretty good and the food came out in less than 10 min! The service was good and…read moreI liked how he was very efficient. The restaurant has lots of seating and it has a very chill vibe. There are plenty of TVs to watch sports games and there is a bar as well. Calamari: The calamari was very crispy and a good portion. The flavor was also very neutral and there was not any weird tastes. However, I wish the calami came out warmer as it was a bit lukewarm when it arrived to the table. Shell Shocker: This boil was really good! The portion is good and the prices are standard. I got the Hook & Reel special blend and it was extremely flavorful and yummy. Next time, I am going to get the spicy because the mild had ZERO spice. This boil came with corn, two potatoes, crab, and shrimp.

The first was…read morewith a party and was meh but I'm finding out it was the stuff others picked out as well as the flavor( "butter") . The second time was at Joes crab Shack and the crab there was empty and they mixed up the flavors with the incredibly spicy one. Like the saying goes third times the charm. Came here with my fiancé over the weekend. First and foremost the service was great. Our server was very friendly and helpful. She also informed us that they had an all day happy hour so we ordered a pitcher of margarita. Everything came out fast, the flavors were great, and for the price the amount in the bag was great. Will definitely be coming back.

Holiday party #4 tonight...we met a friend of ours for a holiday party being held at Simar. While…read morethe Mexican seafood restaurant has been open for 4 years, this is the first time we have visited. The hostess provided tortilla chips along with ceviche, guacamole and salsa. We ate lightly as we were heading to a dinner holiday party. The appetizers were absolutely delicious. I got to speak with Chef Manny and and Carina, the general manager to gain some insights about the business. Mexican Cocina is based on the cooking method and seasonings. The foods can be cooked over fire, oven or in the stove. Their unique value proposition is that you can choose your seafood from the case and the restaurant staff prepares the food to your liking. The restaurant is very large with different size rooms for rental. For large party rentals the spend minimum is $1000 and during the week it is $800. Such a nice find relatively close to home...definitely will return...

Not sure what happened here but this restaurant does not resemble the high ratings and reviews here…read moreon Yelp. Visited on a weeknight and left thoroughly underwhelmed. The bartender was very friendly and attentive to us but the food was very disappointing. We started with the ceviche tropical, which is consists of shrimp and fruit/veggies. It was very underseasoned and did not seem to be well marinated. Moreover, the dish had a fishiness to it that was a turnoff. The chips served with the ceviche had oil collecting on them (see photo). I've had good ceviche in the U.S. and Mexico and this was not it. The main entree was the Tacos Nayarit (fish tacos). The portions of fish were microscopic and also lacked flavor. The Spanish rice served on the side was the worst I've had in a restaurant. It was wet, old and gummy (see photo). The black beans didn't taste bad but they were superheated as if they were warmed in a microwave. Overall, the food was pretty horrible. So very sad as I was hoping to find a good Mexican seafood option in Austin. I was told that this restaurant is owned by the same folks that operate Casa Chapala, where I have had great experiences. Hopefully this place will improve over time.

I really liked the mahi mahi tacos- the flavor was great. Also like the flavors in the wonton tacos- spicy and delicious, but the downside is both tacos were a bit on the soggy side.

Terry was so helpful & he made sure we enjoyed our meal. 10/10, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great menu and food, cozy venue (with indoor and patio seating), efficient server with experience,…read moreand reasonable prices for Austin. Had not been to this restaurant in a good while, and was a last minute decision. Good choice. The whipped feta is always a treat -- light and creamy with a solid feta taste, but not overpowering, served with a few orange slices and thinly sliced almonds, and pita. Special dish! Beet salad excellent, but the Fresno peppers had way too much heat, so pushed them to side. My wife had the Moroccan curry, which had a very spot on Moroccan flavor (been there 3x), and was a large, filling portion so brought home leftovers. I had the grilled pork chop which was large, perfectly grill with a tasty bourbon-based glaze, served with a large roasted garlic clove. Wonderful dish. My wife had a white wine that she enjoyed and my martini, slightly dirty with olives (to start) was a large pour and very smooth. Enjoyable meal in a nice setting once again ...

This place is so intoxicating from the aqua blue color palate and funky green art work to the alluring lighting and huge metal plate (looks like something from a ship...also their logo). My brother said the green artwork looked like broccoli. My brother ordered the Idaho trout with coconut rice and Brussel sprouts. I sampled his food and it was all good. The standout was the Brussel sprouts...crispy with this absolutely delicious drizzle. I ordered the Mezze plate with a flavor explosion and many desirable texture. It had lamb kabobs, fresh salad (emphasis on fresh) with thinly sliced cucumbers, finely sliced onions and creamy feta (never had creamy feta), red round sweet peppers, hummus with the most delightful pesto like sauce, and olives. Oh my...what a delicious lunch! Morgan, our server, was attentive and accomodating. She moved us to another table when we notice our table was rocking a little. Great catching up with my brother and excellent meal!
