My husband and I have been here multiple times and each time we typically order the Commander's platter with Boom Boom sauce (mix of all the other flavors) with Fire spiciness. As scary as it sounds, the Fire is just the right amount of heat in our opinion if you like food on the spicy side. We'll throw in some broccoli, smoked sausage, and order a side of rice to round the meal out. Everything is always seasoned perfectly and there's enough to enjoy leftovers the next day too. With the maritime decor, delicious food, and friendly service, we'll be coming here for a while!

A group of us had lunch here for my friend's Baby Sprinkle because she loves Cajun seafood. We got two large platters to share - one spicy and non-spicy since a few of us can't eat spicy food. I thought the food was delicious. However, I think it's a little pricey at $17.99/lb for shrimp. The service was pretty fast overall. The Hush Puppies took longer than expected to arrive after our group ordered it. Would recommend checking out this restaurant for Cajun-style seafood.

It gives German watermill-town vibes, and was a nice surprise since you can't tell from the street (the courtyard is walled). We got the Perogies, which were fantastic. They my favorite thing I ate, just perfectly crisped a tad and savory. The Beef short rib in pastry with brie was also yummy, but small. All the apps are actually apps, so don't expect a ton of food from them. Servers and hosts were very friendly. The place was packed, but it just wasn't my vibe, and I wasn't blown away by the food.

Plus with our spouses out of town it was a great excuse for a "boys night out" in downtown. Things were a bit quiet (it's January after all) but that was ok with me. We sat in a great two-person booth facing the huge bar. The restaurant features inventive cocktails so I had my usual when places have skilled bartenders-Markers Mark whiskey sour-made perfectly. The food menu features a lot of very reasonably priced fish and seafood dishes and some pricey steaks like a fillet for $88 (wow!). Sides are separate and they've got a long list of tantalizing starters too although you MUST try the amazing shrimp/avocado boats-4 crunchy little endive boats with a delicious ceviche-like mixture of tiny shrimp. Scrumptious!! And just a lite bite so you definitely have room for the fluffy grougheres with the fontina cheese dip. We tried the hanger steak-nicely prepared and the seared halibut with a Moroccan-style sauce-very interesting. For sides we loved the potato pave(square of scalloped potatoes) and the fried eggplant with a sticky honey bbq drizzle. Our server Dominica took excellent care of us a Carl did a nice job assisting-water glasses were always full (to me a mark of a well run place). Alas, as with all the spots on Washington parking can be an issue. They offer valet ($15) but I luckily found a spot on the street 1-block down. Definitely will be back soon.

We arrived around 5:30 p.m., about 30 minutes after opening. The room was dark, cramped, and louder than the small space can really support. The playlist was distracting, and the kitchen staff audibly singing along did not help the atmosphere. Service was well-intentioned but missed the mark. Our server could not tell us whether the main component of a dish was cucumber, fennel, both, or something else, which is a basic menu question at this price point. Timing was off throughout the meal, so if you are expecting polished, well-paced service, I would look elsewhere. The food was the biggest disappointment. I could see an attempt at creativity, but the dishes felt more confused than composed. Several flavors landed at extremes: too sweet, too spicy, or too heavy on fishy funk, without enough balance to pull them together. It felt like "fusion" without a clear point of view. Parking is also difficult in this part of the North Loop, so plan for a ramp, valet, or extra time and money. I would not return for happy hour, dinner, a hosted meal, or a special occasion.

The fries were nicely seasoned but are definitely the kind you want to dip in ketchup to really enjoy. It came with around six pieces which was probably twice as much food as I was expecting to get. My friend had a lobster roll which looked pretty good, but for $34 it had better be. I had a taste and would say it was good but not great, which means I personally wouldn't pay $30+ for one. The guy at the register was very friendly and this place was probably going to get a 4-star review overall, but when my friend's daughter found they didn't give any sauce to go with her fried shrimp basket and he went back to the counter to ask for it, they charged him $.50 for a small plastic cup of cocktail sauce. My wife had also got a shrimp basket and theirs came with cocktail sauce. I'm really not sure what was going on, but in what universe would you sell somebody a fried shrimp meal and then charge extra for dipping sauce? It's makes no sense, and it's even wilder to see my friend getting nickel-and-dimed after he'd just spent over $50 on food for just himself and his daughter. I shouldn't have to warn you all to verify your food will come with sauce, but here we are.
