The decor is your typical seafood boil decor. I loved the fish hanging from the ceilings. Our server was Jody and she alone deserves 5 stars. She was so amazing and took great care of us. If we come back I will request her each time. The Food: we had a big group so everyone ordered a variety of things. I opted for a few things off the appetizer menu. I ordered the Fried Scallops which came with 6 scallops, the Hushpuppies which came with 10 hushpuppies and a cinnamon butter dip, and lastly I ordered the the Fried Shrimp which came with 10 shrimps and cocktail sauce. Everything was pretty good. The scallops were my least favorite, I was not a fan of the chewiness, but dipped in some tartar sauce they were not that bad. I also did not like the small portion of scallops for the price. The hushpuppies were amazing! They had a delicious taste and also had chunks of corn in it which I loved. The corn wasn't too chunky and blended perfectly with the breading. The cinnamon butter dip that came with it added a nice sweet touch but I honestly preferred them by itself. The shrimp were nice and chunky and battered to perfection. I would say the shrimp did lack flavor on the breading, but I ordered a side of Cajun sauce and mixed it with the tartar sauce and that really elevated the shrimp. Everyone else really enjoyed their food. Some people ordered seafood bags and were very pleased with their portions and taste. We even had a birthday cake that Jody was so gracious to store for us until it was time to eat it. Very glad I got a chance to try out Yummi Crab, we will definitely be back when we are craving seafood or Jody's great customer service.

Hubby order the flounder (which was plentiful) and the onion rings had a nice crunch. The seafood boil (I got lobster, mussels, shrimp, and crawfish) with Yummi Special Seasoning with no spice. I found out that the "spice" is the flavor! Our server brought me the medium spice to add to my bag and it brought flavor profile up big time! Medium was not spicy at all. I recommend adding a spice level to avoid a bland bag. The oysters were also very good. The atmosphere was inviting, and restrooms were clean. We'll definitely be back!

While on an extended visit in SC, we decided to do an impromptu girls dinner. We ended up @ Bluefin…read moreby the suggestions of 2/3. I was the third party member going in blind because while my dinning companions suggested Bluefin, if I'm honest they were not doing a good job selling it, with their mixed reviews. We arrived @ 7pm on a Saturday. Upon arrival we were asked if we had reservations, which we did not. We were seated immediately because oddly enough the place was not busy. As we perused the menu, we noticed the amount of time that had elapsed without being approached or attended to. As we continued to wait, I immediately thought this is a bad sign. Finally we got a waitress and placed our orders. For starters we ordered: -BLUEFIN CRAB DIP: Lemon Breadcrumbs and Toasted Baguette -CRAB CAKES: Sweet Corn, Black Eyed Peas, Tomatoes, Leeks, Whole Grain Mustard Butter -PRINCE EDWARD MUSSELS: Garlic, White Wine, Herbs, Leeks, Tomatoes, Lemon Butter All were good. Even though I ordered it, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the combination of the sweet corn and black eyed peas of the Crab Cake dish. The Mussels were good and the Crab Dip was ok. For an entrée I went with the PAN SEARED BLACK BASS (BARRAMUNDI) with Fried Brussel Sprouts, Shrimp Fried Rice, and Ginger Soy Vinaigrette. This dish was great! Both my sister and I ordered this and we could not stop raving about it. She was little salty that I had some left for a doggy bag , albeit a small amount, and she finished all of hers. Lol Overall the experience started off shaky but the food was good. Just A Note: The service left much to be desired but the dish I had was memorable.

We were instructed to seat ourselves, and was greeted immediately by our server. It's not huge inside but there is plenty of seating along with bar seating as well. We ordered so much! For starters we ordered the Cucumbers with garlic sauce which were so good, the cabbage which was packed with so much flavor, and the spring rolls which I didn't get a chance to try but my mom loved them. We also got an order of the Pan Fried Vegetable buns which were so pillowy soft, and scallion pancakes which were so good. The scallion pancakes were more crispy than what I'm used to and I would have preferred more scallions, but the flavor was still really good. For our course we ordered the Noodles in scallion oil with vegetables and the Sesame pasta noodles with vegetables. Everything was delicious and you get really nice portions. Our server was so nice and checked in us frequently. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and glad we got a chance to try it out. We'll definitely be back for more!

Our ROMEO group of 10 were here today. First visit since it's been called Magnolia's. I think the…read moreprice was somewhere around $17.50 or so and they offer a discount for seniors over 65. I see they add a gratuity automatically if you have more than 5 people sitting in one section. Thought that was a bit unusual but since it's a buffet maybe that's normal. The guys all had different things. The General Tso's chicken was deemed good, lots of items to choose from. I tried the chicken wings (just so-so), but nothing to write home about. I also tried some type of meat that looked good (almost like a beef stew) but it was ice cold. Terrible. Sample the fried fish filets and they were good. A bunch of us tried various sushi rolls and found them good, along with clams and mussels. There was something for everyone. The dessert had some vanilla pudding ( I think the guys thought it was a banana pudding), and to me it just looked like plain vanilla pudding with some wafers on the side. I passed on that. Quite a few had some of the mixed softserve ice cream and liked it. Three or four ordered from the "Make to order meals" where you select your meats, rice or noodles, and they prepare it for you. Overall it was a good experience. Average rating was a 4.1 for the group.

Their house salad comes in a huge bowl, and contains 90% of californias daily export nationally. (Aka it was too large) Ordered the cra(b)P legs in a bag. I really don't like the seafood in a bag concept to begin with. It cheapens what should be a good experience to serve . Microplastics are the best thing since MSG according to most crab in a bag restaurants, they really add a certain umami to the dish what with the polyethylene and oil and natural gas derivatives... Sorry, I got off track... The bag came with two clusters, two potatoes that honestly seemed like they had been mashed and then reconstituted in a skin, and a half ear of soggy corn. The crab, if I can call it such, was pretty lackluster. Normally when one breaks a crab leg, there is a subtle dance of can I get the meat out in one piece? In this instance, every leg, and pincher I broke open was mush that would not pull out of the shell. I tried their gloves, only to realize what little meat I could force out with my fingers ended up on the table or the floor. After taking the gloves off, I found it slightly less difficult to ream my finger in a split shell and get the mush out. I love crab legs when prepared well. This place did not prepare crab legs well. Overcooked, or borderline past expiration.. 0/10 Will not return..

We ordered won tons and sweet and sour soup, General Tso's chicken, Bourbon Chicken, Broccoli and Chicken, Another Chicken dish, Thom Yum soup and a seaweed salad. Our friend didn't like the taste of her Bourbon chicken (and at first thought they served her the wrong dish). The friend with the soup and won-tons liked it a lot. The General Tso's chicken was also said to be good, as was the Broccoli Chicken. My Thom Yum soup didn't fare that well. I thought it tasted like it had too much lime in it. I usually have had Thom Yum with a shrimp or two, but this was with chicken. It had a little bit of a bite but was not near as good as I've had in other restaurants. I wasn't a fan of the seaweed salad. I had three friends order that here the last time I was in and they all raved about it. I'd never tried it, so it was a first for me. I guess I'm just not into it. Overall, everyone had varied ratings of the place so I'll give it a 3.0 for the group. Amongst us I think the ratings went from 1.5 to 4. Another issue is that two of us got our main meals at one time. Then another two after a few minutes, but the last two got served probably 7-8 minutes after the table was initially served.

They were impressed with the look and ambience. The waitress was quick to take our drink orders and came back shortly to take our lunch orders. Great pricing...most of the lunch specials are $8.95. We ordered quite a variety off the menu. A couple of the spicy Tangerine chicken with rice or fried rice, General Tso's Chicken, Beef with Broccoll, Spicy Thai Chicken wings and an order of "sea weed" (which was great according to the one that ordered it, Udon Noodles, Miso Soup, Egg rolls and spring rolls.

I had a couple of comments saying that they would've like a little more heat on the entree. I noticed that they don't have the little red "hot pepper" icon by any of their meals. Another Tangerine Chicken guy said he would've liked more heat, as did the spicy Chicken Wing guy! I tried a cup of miso soup, as I usually do when I go to Japanese/Asian restaurants and found it not as good as others I've had. Not sure what it was, but it seemed to be more of a cream color than what I normally get. That was my only complaint. Overall rating for the group was a 4.4.
