Been here a few times now. Usually to celebrate a birthday in the family. The place is never overly…read morebusy which is nice. So no wait!! Our server was very good and very attentive to us. The place was clean and did not have any seafood smell to it. Sometimes you never know with a seafood boil type place. This time I got the catfish basket with fries. The pieces of catfish were very good. Could have used a little bit seasoning in the batter but overall good. It comes with 4 good sized pieces and a large amount of fries. The fries were a little plain and needed lots of salt and pepper. Overall good experience once again

First time at this establishment. Went on a Saturday about 3pm, wasn't extremely busy so server…read morecame quickly. Ordered the 1/2 lb. crab leg/shrimp/potatoes/corn, and sausage boil bag with extra 1/2 lb. Snow crab. We only asked for garlic, butter seasoning, I ended up asking for Old Bay seasoning to get some kind of flavor. The only complaint I had was the shrimp were cooked too much. They were tough. The restaurant was constantly being cleaned, and the bathroom was pretty clean also. I have to say that this business is quite big and there wasn't that many people there. I hope they get a lot busier than they were today, because they won't be open long if not.

My bestie and I made Wine 4 Oysters Bar and Bites our first stop for Magical Dining, and we were…read moreNOT disappointed! We made reservations, which required a $5 per person fee. We assumed that fee would be applied toward our bill. The restaurant itself is super cute, aesthetically pleasing, and has a great vibe. Our server never introduced herself, so unfortunately I didn't catch her name ‍. Thankfully, the food definitely made up for the lack of introduction! For Magical Dining, they offer a 3-course menu for $40. My bestie ordered: On Fire Oysters - 6 baked oysters with sriracha compound butter Shrimp Boil - extra jumbo shrimp, corn, potatoes, garlic butter & Old Bay Cheesecake I ordered: Oysters Rockefeller - 6 baked oysters with spinach, cheese blend, bacon & breadcrumbs Jambalaya - crawfish, shrimp, sausage, peppers & onions Cheesecake Everything we ordered was DELICIOUS! The oysters were flavorful, the jambalaya was packed with seafood, and the shrimp boil was seasoned just right. We both cleaned our plates! Overall, 10/10! I would absolutely come back, and I'm already looking forward to trying more from their menu. If you're doing Magical Dining, definitely add Wine 4 Oysters to your list!

We saw this on the magical dining list and had never heard of it before, so were excited to try a…read morenew place. The restaurant was not busy as we came soon after opening, yet our server, Tatiana, was not very attentive or friendly. She looked more annoyed when we asked about the magical dining menu. The oysters were very good. We tried the oyster Rockefeller and on fire. They are pretty mixed so you can not substitute any ingredients if you have an allergy. For the entrees we had the jambalaya and seafood boil. The boil had a lot of butter and garlic, but no flavor. The shrimp were large but that was all the oil consisted of with corn and potatoes. My corn was cold to the touch as if it hadn't been boiled with the food. When I told the server, she just said oh. So I didn't dare ask her for anything. The jambalaya rice texture was very mushy and the flavor was just so so. Dessert was also just so so. The crust was not very good, but after the cold corn I was done. I considered getting the oyster sample, but the attitude was so horrible, I chose not to spend any more money.

First off, I want to give a HUGE thank you to the Cooper's Hawk Team for making my birthday feel so…read morespecial. My friend treated me to a birthday lunch this week and when we got to the table, the staff had a birthday card waiting for me! How thoughtful! We came during happy hour and decided to try a few small plates and drinks. The Egg Rolls are a must! They were packed with flavor and a variety of ingredients. My friend especially loved the shrimp. We also tried the quesadillas and sliders on the happy hour menu. Both dishes tasted incredible! Sadly, though the happy hour has half priced apps, the plates are also half sized. They were absolutely delicious, but the dishes felt overpriced for the portion size. As for drinks, I tried the sangria flight. I wasn't expecting such a full portion size and was pleasantly surprised with that. I did, however, only find 2 of the 4 drinks to be especially tasty. I wouldn't order that flight again, but would be interested in their wine offerings. I loved the low lighting in the space as it set such a calm and laid back mood. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and especially loved the food! Totally recommend.

Other than that I recommend CH for magical dining or regular dining, haha!

When you enter, the sophisticated decor and mellow lighting creates an upscale feel. The wraparound window is a nice feature that doesn't necessarily provide a spectacular view, yet let's in golden sunset hues if you visit at the right time. I ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos with upgraded Truffle Fries. The portions are impressive. My tacos were fully loaded and my fries were served on a separate laden plate. I had plenty left over to enjoy later. Everything was delicious! Our server was jovial and thorough, ensuring our experience was satisfying. The manager did stop by to check how everything was, but I found the interaction stiff and mechanical. Not a huge deterrent, though. Everything else was perfect.

We're new to the area, and this was our first visit to the Westlakes Bonefish Grill. We are already…read morehuge Bonefish fans, so naturally, there was one thing we absolutely had to order -- Bang Bang Shrimp! And yes, we eat our Bang Bang Shrimp with chopsticks. It just tastes better that way! We had to ask for them, and when the manager, Jamal, walked by our table, we made our request. A moment later, our chopsticks appeared. We chatted with Jamal for a bit, and he was incredibly friendly and welcoming. What a great first impression! My husband is a creature of habit. His go-to is the Crab Cake appetizer as his entrée with a side of jasmine rice. Why mess with a good thing? I decided to be adventurous and ordered the Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with grilled salmon, requesting the salmon medium rare. When it arrived, I couldn't believe the generous portion of salmon and I'm certainly not complaining! More importantly, it was cooked perfectly for me. The dressing was wonderfully light and complemented the salad rather than overpowering it. It was simply a perfect salad. Our server, DC, was terrific polite, attentive, friendly, and with a great sense of humor. Those little interactions with a server can make such a difference in a dining experience, and DC made us feel right at home. I will definitely ask for him again! The restaurant itself is located next to a lovely green area, giving it a light, airy and relaxing atmosphere. Even our arrival was memorable. The hostesses greeted us with big smiles and genuinely seemed pleased to welcome us. From the warm greeting at the door, to Jamal taking care of our all-important chopstick needs, to DC's excellent service, to perfectly prepared food, this was a stellar first visit.

This place is really good, but with an asterisk…read more We pull up, windows have heavy tint so you can't see inside. Inside, it's bright & somewhat plain. We're seated right away. Feels somewhat like a small-town diner. The menu has awesome choices, but there's a ton of stuff that is $30+ (several $50+) and I really didn't want to spend that much on lunch. I picked a snapper sandwich with a side caesar & my friend got a shrimp quesadilla. They came out about 10-15 mins later. price seemed a bit high, but i know costs have skyrocketed lately, so them's the breaks. The fish on my sandwich was flavorful - but very dry. Would have been better cooked with some kind of fat. The bread was fluffy & nice, but fell apart right away. The veggies in the sandwich were fresh & bright. The caesar side was amazing. they gave me tartar & ketchup, so i asked for cocktail sauce because ketchup is weird for this. No problem. I didn't even finish half because it was so big! My friend's quesadilla was very tasty, but for some reason, it's an absolute oil slick. So the opposite end of the spectrum lol. She enjoyed it but couldn't finish because it was too greasy. There was a thick layer of oil on the plate and on the quesadilla. The ladies working there are really nice & helpful. They checked on us several times. I paid really fast & they got us out the door in less than 45 minutes! I would love to get some of the fancier stuff sometime, but would probably want to eat it elsewhere, because the diner feel doesn't match how fancy the food is. But overall, great experience with the asterisk being the cooking styles & plain appearance. I thought i got pics but can't find them now, but the presentation was great.

The entire tray of crawfish tasted old, the crawfish meat was mushy . The same taste as reheated back and forth seafood. This used to be my go to place and highly recommended place . Not sure if they aren't as busy so food is not as fresh. Another reason we are disappointed was seeing that they use boxes that say " made in China crawfish " won't be coming back ( they used to get it from Egypt , the quality was much better). :/ 2 stars because the employees are actually friendly but food sadly went downhill
