    Came for Mother's Day and were seated with Angie. We enjoyed her recommendations and appreciated her help with a couple of food mods. We were greeted with a couple of salsas and a seafood dip. I got the Pulpo al Ajo (it came with fries, rice, and lettuce and tomato on the side. My parents both got the Vuelve a la Vida cocktail, my dad asked for no imitation crab. They came with saltines and we asked for extra limes. There was a live singer, and she was great as well! She's apparently here Friday and Sunday nights. She kept things lively! Overall a great experience, we'll come back!

    Camarones Diablo. I was skeptical about the fries but that were great.

    This restaurant opened recently and did a fantastic job of remodeling the old Pizza Hut. The food is primarily seafood but there are other options. With the chips and salsa comes some ceviche and a spicy green sauce--both amazing. My husband and I had shrimp dishes that were done well. We were there celebrating a birthday and the servers really went above and beyond to make it special. Great experience all around.

    First time here and we had a party of 13 on a Sunday evening. We made reservations and good thing we did because it was pretty busy. So I recommend reservations for larger parties. The service was excellent and the food was very good. I didn't realize that Sundays are live Mariachi night so it was pretty loud for a little while but after they were done the noise level dropped and it was back to normal. Our server Jesus was extremely nice and was constantly checking on us. All our orders were correct and he was great to talk to. Just an FYI their meal portions are very large. They serve everything from Seafood, Pasta, Tacos, Steak and Burgers. Their Tacos are very big. Double compared to other places. They also have a bar. It started to get very busy after 7pm so the noise level when up quite a bite. We will definitely come again to try their other menu items. Their prices are fair and the service is great.

    My first time at this place. The food was very good along with the service. Music was prevalent. I'll be going back there again.

    Coral sushi was really good. I was not a fan of the mango habanero shrimp, too sweet.

I had some of their cajun pasta and calamari, both were quite small serving sizes for their price. What put me off was adding shrimp to the pasta for 5.99 only to be given exactly five pieces of shrimp. The pasta had nothing cajun about it and served on a big plate to look bigger than it is, far too big for the small table! The pasta itself was nice, however it tasted like grocery store jar alfredo sauce. And the restaurant had far too loud music for so little people there, couldn't even talk properly to the server or family despite sitting so close on a tiny table. Would not recommend

A…read morelong time ago, in my mid to late 20s era, we would order seafood boil for Father's Day so this was very nostalgic for me. I've seen the sign for Sea Shack from Route 59 and finally got to try it when my sister was visiting Naperville. I called in an order and it was ready in 15 minutes. What we ordered for 3 adults: 1 lb peeled shrimp, mild, + corn + potatoes 1 lb black mussels, mild, + corn + potatoes 1 lb clams, mild 1 corn on the side 1 sausage on the side onion rings chicken tenders and fries 2 orders of rice We had plenty of food and enough for leftovers. My favorite part might be the cajun butter sauce with white rice... even more than the seafood. I love white rice with basically any sauce. The food was fresh, the sauce was mild as requested, still flavorful and not too salty. If you order the clams on its own, no sides, the bag might seem a little small but that's just because the clam meat is so small. For takeout, your seafood will come double bagged so it was leak proof. We decided to empty the bags into bowls since we were doing family style, and it was a hearty meal. I can't comment on the ambiance since it was a takeout order, but we enjoyed our food. We'll be back!

    Baby, we started off on the WRONG foot. I came here with my family of eight, which I understand can…read morebe a little complicated for a restaurant, but honey, I made this reservation THREE WEEKS in advance. Three. Weeks. So I thought we were all set. Our reservation was for 6:00, and we arrived at 5:54. We were told to wait until six, which was perfectly fine. Six o'clock rolls around and we're told they're still cleaning the table. Okay, we wait. Then we wait. And wait. Thirty minutes later, we find out the people who had the table STILL hadn't even left. Baby...what exactly were we reserving three weeks ago, a future dream? They offered us a complimentary appetizer, which I appreciate in theory, but when you've got a party of eight waiting 40 minutes past their reservation time, I'm not really looking for the cheapest appetizer on the menu. I'm looking for the table I reserved. Eventually, we were seated, and thank GOD for our server Alexis B, because they completely turned the experience around. Funny, knowledgeable, incredibly kind, and genuinely one of the best servers I've ever had. If I could give them five stars separately, I would. They made us feel welcome and somehow kept the whole table laughing after that rocky start. The food had some hits and misses. The crab cake was a little too spicy for my taste, although the rest of the table enjoyed it. The mini sliders, however? DELICIOUS. That buttery, well seasoned bun was doing exactly what it needed to do. Then came my Entourage burger, and baby...THAT burger understood the assignment. It was absolutely packed with flavor. So good that I practically inhaled it. My server even asked if I wanted another one because apparently I ate it fast enough to qualify for a second round. Unfortunately, the management situation left a lot to be desired. After the issues getting our table, the managers seemed to keep watching our group throughout the night. If you're going to stare, baby, at least commit to the performance! It made an already awkward situation feel even more uncomfortable. Honestly, my server Alexis B, was the ONLY reason this experience ended on a positive note. They were so charming and personable that by the end, they felt more like a friend than a server. I'm genuinely going to miss them. The food was good, and that burger was fantastic, but a three-week reservation should not turn into a 40 minute wait with a party of eight standing around wondering when they're going to eat. So unfortunately, I'm leaving with two stars. The food gave me reasons to come back, but the reservation experience and management gave me reasons to stay home. And to my server: you were the star of the night. Protect this person at all costs.

I loved the vibe in here, very lively and fun. We came in on a Sunday evening, so I am very interested to see how it is when the DJ is in and the disco balls are in full motion. They did have tvs and music videos going off the entire time, which added the to the vibe. I loved everything we ordered. The drinks were AMAZING! I loved the fact you can get their cocktails on the rocks or frozen! definitely enjoyed the tamarind drink!! To start we were given chips and salsa, this is how I knew the food was going to be good. I could have drank the salsa to be honest! We had the sopecitos trio and it was delicious!! my favorite was the arrachera with the chimichurri- literally to die for. We also got the Molcajete leña y mar and it was spectacular. My mouth was watering as soon as it hit the table. It had a mix of everything the steak, chorizo, cheese, shrimp- I loved it all!! We weren't planning on getting dessert, but we saw that the churros came in the carrito and we couldn't resist! Such a cute way to present the dessert, really felt like a celebration! I will definitely be back!!!
