Alo our server was great! She was so sweet, engaging, and attentive!!…read more This was my 1st time here. The menu was overwhelming because how can you not want everything? Sitting outside was very nice and private, lovely ambiance for any event as long as the weather permits Clean bathrooms and enough mirrors to make anyone wonder why are you in here for so long?! Great size for moms and accessibility needs in a single stall. Food was really good as well as the drink. I could have had a little more seasoning on my fish but still really good. The shrimp were a very nice size and the grits were nice and creamy in this Cajun combo lunch! Pop in, sit in Ali's section and enjoy a great lunch, dinner, or even a snack! Took some dirty rice to go for the snack!

Great food, great atmosphere, and a memorable dining experience!…read morePappadeaux is one of those places where you know you're in for a good meal as soon as you walk in. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, and the menu has plenty of great options for seafood lovers. Everything we ordered was flavorful and well prepared, with generous portions and the kind of Southern/Louisiana-inspired flavors that make the meal feel special. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole experience even better. We started with gator tail and fresh bread. Two of us had the crayfish trio on the secret menu, one swordfish, one the blackened catfish and salmon topped with shrimp. We celebrated my birthday with banana pudding and shared a brownie. It's a great choice when you're looking for something a little nicer than an everyday restaurant but still want a fun, comfortable atmosphere. We enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back to Pappadeaux again!

Words don't do this place justice!…read more The service was so on point and they all work as a team. Multiple people will check on you, clear the table, and refill anything you need. The overall place is super cute, quaint, and not loud so you can actually hear your table conversation. The food....delicious! I'll start off by saying those OYSTER BITES are money! My friend and I ordered multiple and I would have ordered more if we didn't have a place to be afterwards. I'm definitely ordering this every single time. The Tuna carpaccio was to die for, I would order this every time! The Lobster croissant was interesting, the lobster itself was so juicy and buttery, I didn't care much for the croissant or shrimp on it. The caviar chips were good but I wouldn't order them again, it was more chips than anything else. The drinks were sooooo good! If you don't know what to order the staff is very knowledgeable and can help guide you. A message for the owners: I absolutely love the concept! You two are extraordinary and I hope you don't change a thing at either of your restaurants. All of them are fantastic. The quality of food is outstanding and the way you train your staff is beyond amazing.

Was here mid-week in August. Server was Tanner…read more First, the thing I like about this place (and Humble Bistro to a lesser extent) is that when I walk in I don't feel like I am in a suburban mall restaurant in Phoenix. It feels fresh, clean and really represents itself as a seafood place. The menu is heavier on seafood and lighter on fish, which is OK. good assortment of non-water proteins as well. Nice wine list with bottles and glasses at multiple price points. Service was good. Tanner handled a bit of confusion on an oyster order like a pro. A bit more attention would have been nice; clearing plates, filling water, etc. But overall, solid service. Food was interesting. Oysters were fresh tasting and served with several toppers. Not certain I liked the plastic cups and mini wooden ladle, but the flavors were there. Lobster bisque was a bit thick for my taste, but my better half thought it was great. Flavor was rich and satisfying. Last, the lobster and shrimp roll was too deconstructed. The lobster was dumped on top of an uncut croissant. You couldn't really eat it like a roll unless you scraped off the meat, picked up the damp croissant, cut it and then restuffed the lobster and shrimp inside. Too dang much work. While the flavor was good, this is not something I would order again unless they were willing to split in in the kitchen and turn it into a proper lobster and shrimp roll. Would absolutely go again, but you are now warned about the roll.

Saturday night visit, first visit. The restaurant was about halfway full upon arrival and nearly…read morecompletely full at departure. Combo B(crab legs, mussels, shrimp,sliced sausage, corn, red potato), was shared amongst two people and was a good amount of food for sharing. The corn on the cob was too soft, not much crunch to it, the potato was very bland. I feel like they should've poked holes in it if the only flavor we received came from the sauce. The gumbo was bland. House special was our sauce and medium for the heat level. The sauce was not evenly mixed and the heat level was not spicy just a little kick to it. The service was ok, the wait to receive the food was quick. They have tvs playing sports as well as music playing.

My dinner companion and I ordered take out. I got a lobster on a bun, a fried oyster Po Boy, my companion ordered the sea food boil. My lobster on a bun was bland, unfortunately the fried oyster po boy was not much better. On the sea food boil the crab was not very tasty and the shrimp was over cooked. I myself was disappointed at the lack of seasoning. I don't mind spending money on quality food. Spending over seventy dollars for bland food not so much. On the plus side the staff was great, the ambiance was just ok. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, I will give you that. Hope your experience will be better. I recommend that you visit and make up your own opinion.

My wife and I celebrated my birthday with dinner here and we had an absolute wonderful experience…read more It was our first time dining here but it definitely will not be our last. The service was top tier. I wish customer service like this existed everywhere. Hannah was outstanding. She was welcoming, attentive, and helped make our night even more enjoyable. She didn't linger but somehow always knew when to check back on us as soon as we needed something. We're always weary of trying out a new restaurant for the first time but dinner was spectacular. Everything we ordered was so delicious and cooked to delectable perfection. High compliments to the chef! Appetizer: Warm Bread Basket - A must have! The bread was so scrumptious that it doesn't even need the delicious whipped butter. But the butter was so amazing it was hard not to smother every morsel of bread with it. Fantastic appetizer option. Entrees: 1/2lb Dutch Harbor King Crab Legs - Served with perfectly cooked asparagus, potatoes, and the usual side of melted butter. My wife said the butter that the crab is cooked in/served with was so phenomenal that she didn't have the need to dip into the side butter. I chose this restaurant because my wife loves crab legs and these absolutely delivered. The meat was sweet and succulent, and most importantly, they tasted fresh! Filet Mignon (8oz) - Delicious and perfectly seasoned! Exactly cooked how my wife ordered it and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Willow Bend Lamb - I can't rave enough about how exquisite this was. I was worried the chops were going to be too large but the portion size was spot on to my liking. The roasted garlic thyme jus it's served with is rich, savory, and a great compliment to the tender and juicy chop. I would order this again and again. Sides: Parmesan Truffle Fries and Smoked Gouda Tater Tots - It's hard to mess up a potato but somehow Ocean Prime was able to make it even more delicious. The fries had a perfect balance of crisp and tender, and the parmesan truffle flavor was the cherry on top. Wonderful aftertaste and surprisingly pairs well with crab legs. The tots had a perfect crisp exterior and a fluffy inside. The offerings are generous so 1 side would suffice for 2 people. Every bite was scrumptious and a definite recommend for the table. Cocktails: My wife also had the Berries & Bubbles cocktail. Well, it was so yummy that she had 2 of them. I had a sip and although I'm not a vodka fan, I can attest that it was indeed yummy. The dry ice is a nice touch and adds to the beauty and appeal of this drink. The drink is poured at the table (Hannah is clearly a pro at it). It was like a dinner and a show! Dessert: We were offered to choose a dessert on-the-house to celebrate my birthday. We ordered the Warm Butter Cake for the table and a Chocolate Torte to go. Hannah was kind enough to comp both of them for us! The Warm Butter Cake was AMAZING! From the delicious ice cream served on top to the gooey buttery velvety center of the cake with a perfectly crisped edge, it was everything you'd want in a dessert and more. I'm sure it's the star of the dessert menu. I've yet to make it to the torte but I've no doubt I'll be swimming in chocolatey goodness when I do. Lastly, I had flowers delivered to the restaurant to surprise my wife, and I asked if they would please have them set at the table prior to our arrival. They were able to receive the delivery before opening time and were placed perfectly in the middle of our table (booth seating). I'm so grateful for how they accommodated my request and helped me execute a wonderful surprise that gained a beautiful smile from my wife. 10/10 experience. Five stars all across the board. Worth every dollar spent. I highly recommend Ocean Prime for any and all events, or if you're simply just looking for a delicious meal.

I've stopped by Ocean Prime twice, most recently on a Tuesday evening. Located on High Street, you…read morewon't have trouble finding free parking on the street, in one of the surface lots, or the parking garage. Ocean Prime is High Street's most upscale restaurant. Ambiance (4/5): The type of look you expect at a high-end steakhouse and seafood restaurant. While they have some nice booths, both times, I've sat at the bar. Service (4/5): Service overall is pretty good. Not the most friendly, not super efficient, but efficient with a focus on the details. What you expect at a fine dining establishment. Drinks (4/5): Ocean Prime has a nice happy hour that ends at 6 p.m. on weekdays on both drinks and food. On my most recent visit, I had a $5 Heineken (there are several other options). There are also discounts on wine and select cocktails. Food (4/5): I went big on my last visit. There are a good number of appetizers on their happy hour and I started with two: the jumbo shrimp cocktail and the High Street roll. The shrimp cocktail is served with some dry ice which makes for an awesome visual aspect to the dish. Four large shrimp, chilled, in a bed of cocktail sauce. You can't really mess this one up. The High Street roll has tempura shrimp, cream cheese, scallions, and beef carpaccio. A+ for creativity. From there, I had the 8 ounce Piedmontese steak which was a first. It's an expensive steak, similar to wagyu in terms of quality. It's a matter of preference. Piedmontese is a lean, high-protein steak which wagyu is ultra-rich and buttery. It did taste different from any steak I've ever had in my life, but in a good way. Medium rare, of course. I ordered a twice baked potato a la carte for my side. A fantastic meal all-around, though not inexpensive. Happy hour does help though.

My apologies to Kevin and his staff for this long-overdue review…read more I have been dining at Nami for quite some time, and every visit has been a wonderful experience. Kevin consistently greets me with genuine courtesy and warmth, and his staff always takes excellent care of me, my family, and the guests I have introduced to the restaurant. The food I have had has consistently been of high quality. As someone of Asian heritage who has traveled extensively throughout Asia, I feel confident saying that Nami's cuisine is both delicious and impressively authentic. I have also never been disappointed by the quality, freshness, or variety of the sashimi. Whenever I ask Kevin to select and slice whatever he feels is best that day, he always delivers an exceptional assortment. I rarely write reviews unless I feel they are truly deserved. In Nami's case, this review is sincere and long overdue. Kevin and his team have created a restaurant that is worthy of recognition, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Started with chili garlic edamame and had to order another just regular as the first item was way too spicy for my wife (even though we asked server Frank to not make it too spicy). Had the combo of large Asahi and mixed tempura. Don't think we'd order the tempura again. Had a shrimp, 2 pieces of rectangular calamari, a potato chip-like sweet potato, and a slice of acorn squash. Was lower priced because it was with the beer, but at $9.99 regular price - pretty pricey for what you got. Also wasn't that great of tempura. Seemed more breaded than tempura-battered. Did a sushi bento box. Cucumber salad more tangy than sweet (good). Yellowtail roll and spicy tuna both substantial. The yellowtail was a solid piece, not the chopped up kind you often get. Both rolls were encased in tasty purple rice. White tuna sashimi slices (3) were large and buttery. Service was great and the interior is clean and attractive. We look forward to a return visit!

I like to get the green beans I believe they are garlic, green beans let us not forget. The seafood selection is on point.

The crab boil mix is spicy comes with corn and the potatoes as usual. The service is on point however, one time I feel like the server felt like I was overdoing it and gave me my check before I was ready lol I was going in. The sushi is pretty good as well and overall the ambience is legit. Everything seems clean and before I ended I also get the hibachi beef that they make fresh in front of you as well. You can put anything you want in your bowl and they have ice cream for dessert as well as your run of the male fruits and sweets. Definitely recommend this buffet. It's the only one I go to.

Traditional sushi does not have lettuce...bad sushi places and grocery stores use lettuce. Second, the head chef seems to have let an apprentice take on the omakase.

Great news, they have replaced the lettuce with cucumber! Maybe chef got some negative feedback.

We asked about the fish of the day and special fish which happened to be the same, mackerel, the day we went.

Ordered a few temaki (hand rolls) - yellowtail and spicy tuna- and they were tasty! All the nigiri we ordered were fresh without fishiness, and had generous portions for the price. Nice to have fresh wasabi which had a nice kick and sweetness. Thoroughly enjoyed these nigiri: seared black cod, ocean trout, hamachi/yellowtail, unagi. Yuzu & rainbow rolls had super appetizing sauces. Ordered the uni from Japan which was supposed to be sweeter than creamier but this one was very distasteful for me, had a strong scent like saliva, and I was unable to tolerate it.
