    It is okay. Few of my mussels were skunky. Wine/garlic sauce lacked flavor. Fried green tomatos were overly greasy. Grouper tacos were okay. Probably wont be back but it wasnt awful or anything, just not for me.

    Something is wrong with the snow crab legs there. The crab legs are very salty. It’s not normal, so I had to return them.
