The egg rolls were a great flavor and like nothing I had ever had before. We got fried scallops and shrimp baskets for dinner and honestly didn't have room for them after the appetizers.

The gumbo was tasty and had plenty of seafood but way too much veggies and very little rice. I enjoyed the flavor just wish a bit more rice and less veggies. The basket was really good.

I tried the lobster tail, black mussels, dungeness crab legs, fried clams, cole slaw, corn, and potatoes (all in medium garlic butter sauce). Every single thing was 5 stars. The garlic butter sauce is NOT a joke. I want to bathe in it, drink it, moisturize with it, put it in an oil diffuser and huff it. It is incredible. I am going to be returning many times in the future and can't believe I've wasted so much of my life not knowing this is a mere 10 minutes from my house.

We finished just in time for our 5:00 pm dinner reservations, and we switched tables. My dad and I split the Clam Bake. The lobster was some of the best I've ever had, and the mussels were delicious. I didn't like the shrimp or clams as much. The clams were really small and several had sand in them. The shrimp were a bit overcooked, and lacked flavor. Next time, I would opt for just a lobster. For dessert, I got chocolate pecan pie, and it was so good! It was more chocolate than pecan flavored, which I didn't mind. The accompanying vanilla ice cream was delicious, coming out with a crisp chocolate coating. Yum!

This would have been a 5-star review but the lemon-pepper chicken which a little too seasoned (salty) for me but dipping them in both a ranch and blue cheese dressing with a few dollops of Tabasco sauce was a good recommendation.

This was my first time actually ordering a platter from them. It's in a busy area so parking is a little hard to do. Pack patients. The lady who answered the phone and took my order was very nice. They were very slow. My order took a very long time. I feel like it was overpriced and they give you these little small potatoes and nothing much. The platter was just OK. I was very disappointed. I was looking forward to a really good seafood platter. I also ordered the cannoli and the shell was stale! The filling was good. So disappointing because I love a good cannoli. Overall, I was disappointed and I'm not sure if I would ever get a platter from them again or any cannolis.

The music played here is classic R&B. I was hoping to Detroit Urban Ballroom or Chicago Style Steppin here. I quickly found out that Philly is Bopping Country. (I don't Bop.

The people there were very friendly, warm and inviting. I felt very comfortable. The food was great! I had pan seared Tilapia. There was so much food that I could not finish.
