My mother in law wanted to try this place. We took a drive over to Coney Island and walked into a beautiful, clean restaurant with pretty chandeliers. They offer both indoor and outdoor.
We were seated quickly after showing our vaccine cards. Lexi was our server. She was lovely and called us 'sweeties' which had my mom in law laughing because she knows she's far from sweet herself haha. She was working both indoors and out so she did take some time to get back to us but it's understandable and we commend her hard work! She was courteous, made recommendations, and did check backs. Thanks Lexi!
We took a while to order but decided on crab bites, mozz sticks, and fried calamari for apps. We were given shrimp chips complimentary. They were fresh and tasty. Then we got the app and put in for 2 orders of The Reel Catch pick 1/pick 2. One we got with Cajun sauce and sausage, the other we got with Garlic Butter. We dug into the apps. The mozz sticks were good, not spectacular but good. The crab bites nd fried calamari were really good, I'd definitely order those again!
The mains come out and they're in a giant steam bag. We open them up and get to work. Now, I would've given 5 stars, but the clams tasted like clay and were full of shells. I don't recommend them. The garlic was a little on the raw side but it was ok. The mussels, shrimp, lobster tail, and crab legs were delicious! The potatoes, corn, and sausage were fantastic! Overall, the meal was worth it. The portions were good for the price and it all tasted fresh and flavorful. I'll definitely come back.
Things that can be improved: they don't give wet wipes, plates, or any tools to open up the crab legs like the pick with the edge you run through. Granted they gave us the things to crack the shells but you kinda need the tool to pry open the rest and get to the meat. Also, no dessert? I was full but you don't eat dessert with your stomach, you eat it with your heart. A lemon tart or some sorbet would have been a good palate cleanser after all that garlic and Cajun sauce.
Great place for date night
Oh, and brought my husband home wings, he dogged them! He shouted you out on Facebook
