I took away 2 stars because of: (a) PRICES - not very affordable. and (b) ENVIRONMENT - they were playing "urban music" with a lot of bass SO FREAKING LOUD, it was downright uncomfortable. The music just did not mesh with the "Cajun" theme whatsoever. I don't really foresee me coming back unless they lower their prices AND tone down the music.

Happy to have another seafood boil restaurant in C'ville, especially after Red Crab closed. I'm…read morehappy to report that this restaurant is actually BETTER than Red Crab was, with lot of delicious options. We got an order of crab fries, a boil bag, a fried oyster basket, shrimp po boy, and grilled chicken with rice and vegetables. Everything was delicious and the service was great! A fun spot for a special occasion - though you need to make sure you wear the bib aprons! Decor is still the same as when it was Plaza Azteca, but it works!

Cocktails are rotating and seasonal, but one of my all time favorites was the peach whiskey sour made with local peaches, and a coconut jasmine (gin?) drink that was the Dealer's Choice option. For a light app, I really enjoy the goat cheese and fennel. The ambiance is cozy and upscale, and the staff is incredibly attentive and knowledgable.

The managing partner also came by our table very casually and friendly- I just googled their bios and its very interesting. So I wasn't sure I would like everything we ordered- I only wanted the beet salad. It was amazing!!!!!!! We also had the dip trio which I liked the hummus best with yummy bread. My daughter, her friend and her mom LOVED the calamari and said it was light and delicious. Lamb kebob was tasty. Desert chocoholic was scrumptious and the lemon granita was light and interesting with homemade cotton candy that we laughed looked like ratchet barbie hair but tasted so light. Absolutely delicious!

We are in a booth in the bar area this time. The sound was chill with guests relaxing at the bar engaging in conversations. We arrived before 6 pm and were able to order the $20 fried chicken dinner. It was like a country fried chicken with ham gravy and two sides. Very tasty and definitely a full size meal. We also had the trout, which was the thickest piece of trout I've ever had, and it was perfectly prepared. It also came with two sides, and I ordered the shaved brussel sprouts and roasted fingerling potatoes. Terrific!! Maya is a must do.

I wished there were slightly more carrots on the heirloom carrots appetizer but I liked it overall. For entree, I got the cornmeal crusted fried oysters with my choice of 2 sides (Brussels sprouts and broccoli) - it was exactly what I wanted after a days hike at Shenandoah. The waitstaff were friendly and we were able to sit out on the patio since it waa nice early summer day. If I'm ever in Charlottesville Virginia again, I can't wait to come back here!
