My first visit was the weekend after Valentine's Day, and the restaurant seemed to be understaffed, with the staff who were present feeling overwhelmed. I had to request a drink refill four times, and it took 45 minutes for my meal to arrive, which was greasy and not very impressive. I decided to give it another chance since my first experience was on a busy weekend. This time, I came with three friends. Three of us ordered the fried seafood platter, while one had the scallop and shrimp pasta bowl. The food was much better this time—far less greasy and very tasty—but it still took a long time to arrive. Additionally, the sides were incorrect, the salad was served after the main dishes, and my drink refill came in a to-go cup just as we were leaving. When we mentioned the wrong sides to the woman who delivered our food, she was quite rude and said, "I didn't take the order, I'm just bringing the food." It was clear we knew who took our order, and her remark was unnecessary and disrespectful, which negatively affected the mood for the rest of the meal. Overall, the food is good, albeit a bit pricey, and the setting is pleasant, but the staff really needs to improve their customer service.

The daily specials are diverse and thoughtfully selected. The crab dip appetizer is a MUST-TRY! The portion sizes are generous, and the desserts are simply irresistible. I usually have dessert first, but after learning about these treats, I'm looking forward to enjoying them at home. Although we don't live nearby, this place is definitely worth the trip. Our experience felt personalized and genuinely appreciated, and we're already planning our next double date at this hidden gem.

Don’t be deceived by the exterior; inside, you’ll find fresh and delicious seafood. Although it’s located in a strip mall in the seemingly remote area of Manquin, they provide excellent service and serve up fresh seafood, whether fried or broiled, to both locals and visitors. It’s a no-frills establishment that prioritizes food over decor, so don’t expect anything extravagant. With family in Richmond, we’ll definitely return during our future visits. I highly recommend this place to anyone willing to make the drive!

Everything is fresh, made to order, and can be prepared to your liking. I highly recommend the blackened rockfish for a perfect blend of delicate flavors. The all-you-can-eat crab legs on Saturdays are a real treat. For the more adventurous, try their crab legs when they’re in season. Their desserts are fantastic. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Outdoor seating is available. If you’re traveling on 360, be sure to stop by for delicious seafood at a reasonable price.

Although I’m not a big seafood fan, we came to celebrate my dad’s birthday (he’s apparently a regular since they knew him by name). I ordered a burger with a sweet potato, and both were delicious. The sweet potato was cooked perfectly! I would definitely return for the same meal.
