We had the choice of sitting outside, inside or at the bar! It was quite busy when we arrived so it was a little bit of a wait to get served. However, Our server was very sweet and attentive towards our party. Gave us some great recommendations. We started off with clam chowder, gumbo, and ceviche and it came out pretty quickly. Everything was made in house and absolutely delicious! The gumbo was my favorite. After the appetizers came through we ordered our main dishes and got fried shrimp, and fish tacos! It took some time for it to come out but once it did it was super exciting to get it. Everything was delicious, and for the shrimp you had a choice of small and large. I ordered small while my boyfriend ordered a large. We had tons and tons of food and it was so so good! We finished off with some delicious key lime pie and it was well worth the waiter bringing it out to us! My favorite definitely was the key lime pie and finishing up with that as well!

Half of the tables were empty. It took us over 15 minutes just to put our order in. After receiving our order the shrimp was good as always, but my fries were so hard I could only eat half of them.

And now I fully understand the hype, and why people drive across the river for this sushi. A friend was telling me Clam House has consistently earned its top spot as her family's go-to sushi restaurant in the area, and I'm now convinced of the same! You cannot go wrong with any of their fresh tuna dishes, but you HAVE to start with the tuna nachos and/or the tuna martini salad. Both are delicious! The sushi selection is huge, and there's an entire other menu of the same size if you're looking for a different type of entree. Great wine list too! For the white wine fans, I recommend a bottle of the Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc. Enjoy! Don't let the packed parking lot deter you- they seat you quickly and the place is more spacious than it looks.

Our server was very polite and attentive. Great option for families too, with a kids menu featuring crowd-pleasers like chicken fingers and fries.

Asked twice to move to different table to which she said "table was for large groups". Large group was 5 ppl verses 4! One waitress for the entire restaurant!! Order and food took 45 minutes. Ordered the black bean quesadillas with chicken and the chicken came ON TOP of the quesadillas instead of inside. INSANE! Asked for water twice, it never came.

A lot of the old staff came back, a great sign when we arrived. Tonight's menu felt very similar to pre-hurricane menu. We got two grouper dishes (pecan crusted and blackened over Parmesan pasta) and both were incredible. Added on shishito peppers, shrimp curry puffs, corn bread, and a very unique onion dish that I can best describe as a soup-less French onion soup. Service was excellent, and cocktails were good, if small. My only complaint was that the beer menu dropped off - they used to carry a nice variety on tap and local brews but mostly bland big-name beers now. I'll definitely be back again, glad to have it in the rotation of great local restaurants!
