    Food is always great. Service is hit or miss. Maybe they were understaffed. Drinks sat empty. The food is great though and always worth it.

    We have eaten here many times over the last 6-7 years. I usually get a different dish each time, however my wife gets the same (angry crab pasta). Over the last 3-4 years the overall quality has gone down hill. This includes food, service and atmosphere. Tonight (late December 2025) I ordered the angry crab as did my wife, along with the peel and eat shrimp for appetizer. She ordered a margarita and I ordered a standard mule. My mule was very watered down and my wife's margarita was (her words) "meh". The peel and eat, usually a great talking point for our visit, had what seemed to be random and rushed seasoning. A couple of the shrimp wasn't even de-veined, much less even cut opened. The main course (both of us had the angry crab) was very watery, and had barely any of the spicy-ness it used to. The crab meat also seemed a lot less over the years. We had to order a side of bread to help soak up the soup. We finished our dinner off with a ice cream/brownie plate, which was pretty good, brownie was decadent. The atmosphere, well this hasn't really changed over the years, it's loud depending on the time of day, but that's pretty normal. If you want to quiet, then ask to be put over by the bathrooms or out in the market side. Anytime you're around the bar it might just be startling when someone gets excited. But that's typical when eating around a bar. All in all, I'm not to concerned, we'll still go back, I'm betting it's a management or cook situation. But I'll only be a few more times of this before never going back. We drive 1hr to get to Omaha, and if we want to eat there's 100s of places where I can spend <$100 at. (Yes, that's what we spent)
