    Ocean Platinum

    No wait and was sat in cold area but they were very willing to accommodate. Ordered half price appetizer of breaded shrimp which was very yummy and came with a tasty sauce. We ordered the Platinum Boil which was cooked perfectly. The corn was not mushy like at other places. We had a garlic butter and seasoning. Ordered mild and it was so yummy. It was busy and understaffed. When they brought the food ... we had to ask for silverware and plates, but they quickly provided. Waiter came to the table twice... but we really didn't need anything. In short... FOOD was excellent and nice portions. Service was polite, kind and willing... just understaffed for the night. It is New Year's Day too. We will definitely come back.

    I have been to this restaurant so many times in the past year. It's an hour and a half drive from where I live but the food and fast service is sooo worth it. They have the BEST seafood boils I've ever had and I travel a lot and tried so many boils so this is a big thing for me to say. I love the low country boil and they give you so much food for a great price! You can even ask for a side of the ocean juicy sauce to dip everything in. You must try this place!!

    This place may not look appealing on the outside but it was a nice surprise walking in! The decoration was nice and the service was friendly and great. We ordered calamari, seafood udon, ocean trifecta basket, shrimp basket, catfish po boy, philadelphia roll, and kani and cream cheese roll. I've had better calamari since I thought it was chewy but still edible. Everything else tasted freshly made! The sushi was a bit heavy on the cream cheese, but we enjoyed it. Definitely recommend dropping by for an affordable and delicious meal!

    The oysters weren't good at all. I would not recommend getting them. Usually we finish them all but I was afraid of them not being good for my stomach, they had a strange taste that wasn't good. The rest of the food was great. I had the sushi roll which was huge and delicious. I got 1 lobster tail and the snow crab. Which were both delicious. The miso soup wasn't great but it was on the house for us to try so that was nice of the waitress. I ordered the strawberry milk with boba and it was delicious. The potatoes and corn were great and I got the sauce that was all mixed together I was not disappointed. From the outside be warned it looks a little rough. But the inside is so gorgeous! I loved the ambiance to be honest! My friend got the gumbo and he enjoyed the meal. I'll definitely give this place another shot.

    Great place!!! We are traveling and chose this spot for dinner. It was five-ish (early) plenty of seating available. We were greeted immediately when we walked in and showing to a booth. Our waitress was super helpful and asked if it was our first time there, which we said yes, so she proceeded to review the menu in great detail. One side is all of their boils, which is basically different pieces of seafood in a bag along with Corn on the cob and potatoes. And then you pick your type of sauce which we chose garlic butter, and then you pick your spiciness level. There were plenty of options to choose from and she was very careful to point out that using the combinations or specials down the side of the menu really helped save money based on what you wanted to eat. The flipside of the menu is mostly sushi and appetizers. So we opted to go with a couple of sushi rolls, easy ones, California rolls and shrimp tempura roll and we chose the boil bag for $29 that had crab, muscles, shrimp, two corn cobs and two potatoes. It was more than enough food for both of us and we enjoyed it immensely. We did the simple garlic butter sauce with a medium spice level and it was perfect. We had a bib as things can get messy when you are pulling the crab out, what wipes to clean up and it was a perfect meal. The only disappointment is she explained that their liquor license had expired, so we had to settle for ice tea. Apparently they are getting that fixed! They have quite an ice bar so I imagine this is a bit painful for them. If we lived in the area we would be here quite often I can imagine! Prices were very reasonable, for all of the above we paid approximately $45

The Tangy Crab was a home run. We were there for the crab legs and that's exactly what we got. The bar had a bottle of prosecco that wasn't on the menu. Getting to have bubbles with our crab legs just topped off the visit. Saraphina was our server. She's very soft spoken but an absolute gem. It's an hour drive from my house but I will definitely be back when I'm the area.

    I was staying at the Clarion Hotel attached to the restaurant, upon seeing an poster in the…read moreelevators, I decided to give it a shot. At first I thought the Seafood Boil were run by Vietnamese, only to realize the restaurant was operated by Chinese cooks. Kid server recommended the Blue Punch and I ordered another Margarita Lime since it was Happy Hour on a Monday. I started off with a Philly Eggrolls...pretty mid...exactly what you'd expect out of a Sysco Catalog because c'Mon who in their right mind will hand roll a Philly Egg Roll...let alone trays upon trays everyday in the back kitchen. It was salty, and over powdered by wannabephillycheescakeness. Next the Raw Oysters...these were the highlight of the night...I know they may have been frozen..but in all honesty it's been 3 hours since I swallowed 6 oysters and I'm still alive. Probably the cocktails aided in killing any excess bacteria.. And onto the main entree, I went with their signature boil and just want to go on the record. The shrimps will taste better with head on. The crab legs were good. The thing I didn't feel was up to my expectations was their house sauce that they boil everything together in. It lacked a punch, it lacked flavor. There was an overall lack of Garlic, Lemon Zest, Lemon Pepper, White Pepper and Brown Pepper, and there was a lack of MSG, and also lack of cayenne peppers and ghost pepper powders. And because of this, I'm giving the Boil a grade of C. Service was A+ Cocktails were B+ Oysters were A Appetizers were C Boil was C So the average was 3.5 to 4 stars out of 5. I forgot about the lobster bisque...I know it's not real lobster, they usually put langastinio crawfish in there...but the soup was too Salty.

The menu offers a lot of delicious options, and both my husband and our friend loved the Buttermilk Fried Chicken. I ordered the Salmon, which was okay. The Spanish Coffee was one of the best I've had. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment was how my food allergies were handled. I had included my dietary restrictions in our reservation and also called the restaurant the night before to make sure they could accommodate me. I was reassured after they checked with the kitchen that most items on the menu could be modified to work within my restrictions. Based on that conversation, I felt comfortable keeping our reservation. Since we were dining with others for a birthday celebration, I had hoped the information from my reservation and phone call would have been communicated to our server so I wouldn't need to go through all of my restrictions again at the table. Instead, I had to explain everything during dinner. Because the restaurant is extremely loud and the tables are packed closely together, our server had to stand across the table from me, which meant having to discuss my allergies loudly in front of our entire party and the surrounding tables. It was an uncomfortable and awkward situation. What was most frustrating, however, was then being told that my options were essentially limited to a protein and green beans. This was a far cry from what I had been told the night before that the kitchen could modify most items on the menu to accommodate me. I completely understand that not every restaurant can accommodate every allergy or dietary restriction, and I don't expect them to. My concern is that I specifically called ahead for this reason and relied on the information I was given. Had I been told beforehand that my options would be so limited, we simply would have chosen another restaurant where I could enjoy a nice meal along with everyone else for my husband's birthday. For anyone dining with significant food allergies or restrictions, I would recommend getting very specific information about what can actually be accommodated before making a reservation.
