What a delicious experience! Let’s start with cons, which aren’t that many. Hated the parking situation. That’s typical of Lovers Lane restaurants though. And the restaurant is overly crowded. I don’t know if it’s the spacing of the tables but there are too many customers in a confined space. Now, onto the fun pros. The FOOD! And service! Everything we got was amazing: gumbo, salad, blackened fish, red beans and rice (sans rice). And the cute popcorn basket (instead of bread) was such a great southern touch. Our waitress was also so attentive and lovely. I wouldn’t mind coming back here next time I visit.

Husband and I were here for Valentine's dinner. First time to visit and everything, I mean, everything, was spectacular!! W.O.W doesn't even come close! We could not believe it. We had old fashioned drinks, oysters, shrimp scampi, Texas blackened red fish, herb crusted rainbow trout, key lime pie & big chocolate cake. The desserts were so good we couldn't decide which was best! Raven, the waiter, was awesome too. We WILL be back no doubt!

What a treat 😋 We are in town for a conference and are looking for some seafood places to go. This place is outstanding, the food was delicious, and our server Molly was awesome. We sampled a few things, and everything we had was amazingly delicious... especially the oysters.

First time here, lived everything about it. Service, drinks, food, and dessert were great. The smoked salmon was great. The patio was really nice as well. Would recommend making a reservation, we were able to be seated right away because of it. Our server was the best! Lover's will be added to our rotation!!! Highly recommend.

For the price tag of around $50 a person, the place lacks in atmosphere. The restaurant is overcrowded and cheaply decorated. They put us in a covered patio that had poor isolation from the winds in 40F weather. The gusts of wind were blowing the plastic curtains and a cheap tarp that was covering the roof. Without a heater it would simply be unbearable. Parking lot is very small so their valet is the only way to park. Lovers’s valet is severely understaffed and unprofessional. The impression was that it was their first day in the job for those 2 parking attendant. We stood in a cold for at least 10 minutes waiting for them to shuffle 3 cars.

My wife surprised me with a Valentine’s Day weekend dinner here, and it did not disappoint! We started with the shrimp scampi appetizer, and that wine sauce? Absolutely divine—rich, buttery, and perfectly balanced. For my meal, I had a Caesar salad with seared shrimp, and the shrimp-to-salad ratio was perfect. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying. My wife had the lobster roll, which came highly recommended. While she enjoyed it, I found it just okay—maybe a matter of personal taste. And let me tell you about the key lime pie—hands down, the best I’ve ever had! It had the perfect amount of tartness, balanced by a lovely, buttery crust. The kind of dessert that makes you pause after each bite just to savor it. A special shoutout to our waitress, Molly! She was incredibly attentive and gave thoughtful recommendations that truly elevated our experience. A true gem!

Hey this place is great. First time going there and I'm mad I haven't been there sooner. U can tell the food is top notch. The decor Inside is peaceful and inviting. It is a little pricey but I think it was worth every dollar. They have live music on Saturdays and Sundays for lunch. There is no parking just Valet but it is free so that is helpful. We had Hailey and we ordered everything she recommended. She did not let us down.

Stopped in here for a quick bite today. I could not decide between the fish and chips or the lobster roll. The waiter convinced me to order the lobster roll (Connecticut style) with truffle fries. Great recommendation. The bread was warm, fluffy and toasty. The lobster was sweet and fresh. The fries were excellent. A good lobster roll such as this one reminds me of lobster season in Massachusetts. I plan to make a few more visits here before I head out. Great recommendation and excellent service.

It's our Friday night date night spot, we hang out with Shay at the bar. We enjoy some wine and champagne with a 1/2 dozen PEI oysters......black magic. Then some crab legs and Caesar salad and finish with a chocolate cake with Carmel sauce and heath crumbles. cheers Paul and Connie

King Crab Legs, The King's Punch, Lobster Roll, Brussels Sprouts, Crispy Chicken Bites, Lovers Lobster Spoons, Oysters Rockefeller, Linguine + Clam, Four Woods Hot Smoked Salmon, Blackened Texas Redfish A lovely meal! We were seated in the covered patio, which was perfect and quiet. Kudos to the staff for being so kind and accommodating and fitting all our extra last minute rsvps! The food was delicious as usual! It was such a pleasure getting to try all these different dishes. The appetizers were fun. I don't think the king Crab Legs are super worth it--it was quite pricey for the 1 pound we ordered for the table, and the blackened ones were pretty dry. The Oysters Rockefeller and Crispy Chicken Bites and Lobster Spoons were delicious and fun to start with. The hot smoked salmon was a little dried out on the edges, but was better more centrally; but overall not my favorite dish and probably not something I would re order. The redfish was delicious and the dirty rice excellent! The absolute highlight by far was the Linguine and clams, which was the pasta of the day. They do such a great job with the pasta and the flavors, I couldn't get enough of it!

I was craving seafood, so we made reservations for a Saturday night. The place is very cozy and the parking lot is tight. This is perfect for a date night. They give you a complimentary popcorn with some sort of lemony smoky seasoning - which I liked but my fiance wasn't sure how he felt about. APPETIZERS : We started off with half a dozen oysters on the shell. I love that they let you do a variety - so we were able to get 3 different kinds. We also got Jill's Scampi which was yummy ! I also got the rose gold wine which I really enjoyed ENTREES: I got blackened mahi mahi w/ the whipped potatoes. It is also served with their slaw. My fiance got the sautéed crab legs - which he liked but was not a fan that you still had to crack the shell on them. DESSERT : although our waitress recommended the smores pie, we tried the blueberry vanilla bread pudding and it was delicious ! We really enjoyed it. Our waitress was sweet, and we both agreed this is a nice vibe with good seafood. We would come back . We really want to try the lobster rolls !

If you are able to visit Lovers Seafood you should. The food is wonderful and the atmosphere is great. Love that the Tracy speaks to the customers and makes everyone feel welcome. Hamachi was awesome! Popcorn shrimp is always great. Definitely do the Gumbo!

Great service and so many options on the menu. Their shrimp scampi was so fresh & paired with an espresso martini - I was very happy with my lunch.

Lovers Seafood and Market is delicious!!!!! Service is fast and efficient with attentive and kind waitstaff. Deviled eggs were AMAZING. Crab cakes were delicious as well perfectly crispy with a little peppery edge to them. Also enjoyed the Jills Scampi which we altered a little and made it into a pasta dish. Seating area is nice, pleasant to sit outside now that it's getting a bit cooler out. Only down side was the large flies that never seemed to go away (they do have little anti fly spin machines but they don't do a very effective job with the little buggers.) All in all would totally recommend and I hope to return soon.

Recommend making a reservation as the restaurant space is kind of small. They offer valet parking (parking lot isn't very big). They give you complimentary popcorn which has a lemon, sour, seafood flavor to it. We weren't really a fan. We both ordered the lobster rolls which were phenomenal. The Mac n cheese was delicious and the fries were cooked and seasoned perfectly. Will definitely be coming back.

Always a hidden gem for affordable seafood which is very hard to find in town. Great food and staff. Keep it up.

This restaurant has such a nice patio vibe and accomodates guests all year long. I usually get the redfish here and oh my goodness. It is so fresh and delicious. I have not had anything that wasn't just downright delicious here. The service is top notch. You must have appetizers, the oysters and the fresh fish here. You will not be disappointed. They frequently have live music on the patio.

Delicious variety of seafood items for a great dinner. Strong martinis in chilled glasses. Warm environment. Music in evenings on outside patio. Attentive service.

Good food. Good service. The ambiance is also nice. Free popcorn appetizer is cute. Lobster roll is my fav I've had it hot and cold prepared both are lovely.

Lovers is always a fun weekend spot, and the seafood never disappoints. The oysters are a must-have to start every time. On our last visit, we tried the house pasta, and it was excellent. Highly recommend!

Yelp
Did not leave a lasting impression. I thought it was mid? I'll start off by saying the lobster pasta was DELICIOUS but everything else was a miss including drinks. Lobster roll was alright, definitely on the small side. I don't think I would return but it wasn't bad just not amazing.

Delicious lobster rolls. Omg. Friendly staff and clean dining room. The freshest food!! Quick thing, the lobster roll may need extra aioli dressing. Just my take. I asked and received extra aioli. But delicious.

One of our favorites in the neighborhood! Service and food are always 10/10. We love coming here on a warm day when they have their lovely patio open. We also enjoy the live music on weekends.

Cute lunch spot! I had reservations with a friend for lunch and we were seated immediately. Friendly and attentive staff. The complimentary popcorn was very good! I had the poke bowl and my friend had the soy glazed chicken bowl. My poke bowl was light and fresh but definitely way too much edamame in it. I felt like it overpowered the entire bowl. The soy glazed chicken bowl had too much spice and sauce for my friend's liking. I would love to come back and give them another try. Will def try something else next time.

When I moved to Texas many moons ago from a state not known for it's seafood joints, I was dismayed at the lack of fresh seafood joints in Dallas. Back then, if you had an urge for "seafood," it meant heading to an eatery such as "Catfish Heaven." If one wanted something even more exotic, Long John Silver's offered up some passable fish and chips. And if a person had a hankering for oysters, you could head over to the place that served Po Boys and grab a dozen gulf oysters and a pound of crawfish. Yep, things were pretty dismal in the Big D. Lovers Seafood and Market is a step in the right direction for folks who are seafood lovers. (Get it? Lovers of seafood? Ha ha.) Yes, Lover's Seafood, which is on Lover's Lane, seems to be liked by a lot of people. On our recent visit, the joint was getting crowded for an early mid-week reservation. Their menu offers up a decent variety of seafood-based selections and even some offerings that's sure to please those that might not be fish fans. And if you want a cheeseburger, you can have one. While the menu doesn't take a deep dive into the world of seafood, it's certainly a cut above of what you'll find in other establishments that offer some seafood on their listings. On my last visit, I took a swing at a dozen oysters, the redfish, and whipped potatoes. The oysters and redfish passed the freshness exam, with added points for flavor. One thing that seemed to be missing on the menu, at least for me, was a "seafood tower" of a variety of shellfish. I'm still gunning for a place in Dallas that can equal other seafood restaurants around the country that will give you a most excellent tower of platters which feature iced shellfish like a selection of oysters, shrimp, crabs, lobster, and other assorted exotic shellfish offerings. (Their online menu indicates they do offer an "Elvis' Tuna Tartare Tower," but that doesn't count in my book.) I'd categorize Lover's Seafood as a casual seafood dining joint. It's certainly not one of those stuffy places where you need to get dressed to the nines. (However, you can if you want.). Also, as their name implies, they offer a "market." However, I haven't noticed it during my four visits to the place, so I offer no opinion. And as the Terminator once said, "I'll be back."

I wanted to love Lovers Seafood but sadly, was disappointed on my last visit. Here's what I liked: popcorn is served upon seating and has an addicting salty dill taste. You can purchase the seasoning at the restaurant. I also liked my entree, seared scallops with cheese grits. The scallops had a perfectly golden exterior and silky tender interior. The green chili-Jack cheese bravos valley grits were the star of my plate- creamy with a surprise kick. Here's what was a miss: salmon ceviche-not a wow dish, bland and needing salt, pepper and jalapeño. Also it was served with stale bread crisps. Honestly I'm lucky to have retained my teeth after crunching into it. The daily market halibut was also meh. The halibut was about the size of a deck of cards, super small considering the price, and it was either overcooked or sitting under the heater lamp too long. The service was okay and unmemorable. The quality of food and service compared to the prices at this restaurant puts this restaurant low on my list of go-to places.

I am so disappointed in their spoon lobster bites! Such a rip off! They were the size of a dime!!! Our entires were really good. I'm just upset by those $16 lobster spoons, which I do not recommend. They should give ppl refunds on those and stop serving, Ijs. Nice outdoor seating. Nice and chill location.

Maybe it was because it was a Sunday night that left me feeling like "I don't get it" about this place. We started with cocktails at the bar where the bartenders were civil at best. We moved on into the dining room which was very pleasant and quiet. Our server started out strong and on top of everything. The Sunday Special, fried chicken with biscuits and gravy, sounded terrific. Unfortunately, it wasn't. The chicken AND biscuits were both dry and overcooked. The server went somewhere for quite a while where I was so desperate for a refill on water that I went to the bar to get it. The key lime pie was billed as fantastic. It was ok at best. Overall, the whole experience was pretty underwhelming. Given most of the other reviews, I guess my first time here was an off night. Nothing about my experience would make me want to go back.

This was my second visit here and I honestly forgot how much I loved it the first time. It took us way too long to make our way back and I will not make that mistake again. We came on a Friday night for dinner with no reservations and were able to get seated in 15 mins which was amazing. Our waitress Mollie was incredible from start to finish. She was personable, funny, attentive, and had great recommendations. It made the experience even more special. We started off with the coconut shrimp appetizer. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but it was delicious. The dip it is served with is very tasty. For my entrée, I ordered the shrimp and grits, and my husband ordered the Texas redfish. The shrimp and grits had a kick, but not spicy. It was an explosion of flavor, and I enjoyed every single bite. I am not a grits girl but if all grits tasted like this, I would be a BIG grits girl. My husband also really liked his Texas redfish and the dirty rice it was served with. Mollie also recommended the broccoli and cauliflower side which was amazing. I was so stuffed at the end of dinner, but somehow managed to squeeze in dessert. We ordered the brownie that came with maple ice cream, which was a nice ending to a fantastic dinner. I probably could've done without the dessert but I just wanted to go all out. The whole experience from start to finish was superb and I can't wait to come back. I'm so sad I didn't take any pictures, but the pictures wouldn't do it justice.

The scallops can't be beat. They have the best selection of oysters and the mignonette pairs beautifully. The have a shrimp appetizer that is phenomenal. And the servers and managers always ensure everything is perfect. Amazing patio.

Came back to Dallas with my mom and son and had to show them Lovers! My son loved the popcorn. He got the pesto pasta and it was tasty and creamy. The fish tacos were light and flavorful. The crème brûlée was a first for my son and he was impressed! The service from Katelyn was phenomenal, she was sweet and helpful. The feeling in the temperature controlled patio was still a bit hot but for August in Texas it was still a welcome break from the sun. Definitely a must visit when you are in Dallas, but make a reservation for sure!

This was our first time dining at the restaurant, and we will be back. The service was excellent and the food was fresh and delicious. We love oysters, and they did not disappoint. They have a great selection, and there were several different options for oyster lovers. The menu isn't huge, but has a good selection of items. We had heard good things about the lobster roll, and it was great. The crabcakes are also exceptional. You can make reservations from their website.

Horrible they allow valet to park cars in handicap parking space for cars that do not have a license plate or placard! Absolutely disgusting! Will never come back to eat at this restaurant again! Your hostess did not care when i mentioned it to her, nor did your valet! Valet parking companies are not legally allowed to park cars whose drivers and passengers are not disabled and do not have handicap placards in handicap spaces. This is a violation of federal and state laws that protect the rights of individuals with disabilities. It is important for valet parking companies to ensure that they are following all applicable laws and regulations regarding the use of handicap spaces. My salmon was burnt probably because I asked your bartender to inform you about the incident and how I was appalled that your valet would do something so unethical! Why would I know this because I am handicap and could not park there, nor could anyone who had a disability because of your greedy valet.

Gill S.

Yelp
Still a fantastic place, even if there are a few questionable items. Oyster selection is still better than most places in Dallas, when it comes to variety. Prices are around average for imported oysters. Hush puppies were not as good as I thought it would be. They were super dense and kinda dry. Maybe the line cook in the back left them in the fryer for too long? The steamed mussels were the biggest hit at the table. While the garlic cream is the workhorse of the meal, its not often I see mussels served this way. The sourdough bread is great for sopping up the extra sauce on the plate. I will say they don't give you a lot of mussels, but overall I was pleased with what I ate. Definitely more of an appetizer. The Coconut shrimp were not what I was expecting. Not bad but also not worth getting in my opinion, unless you love some Panda Express style chinese food. The crab cakes are expensive, but some of the best you can have in Dallas, in my humble opinion. These things aren't cheap, but it feels like you're getting a fistful of crab meat in every bite. If I were to be picky, I wish there was maybe a tad more breading, but honestly, the crab is the star of the show, and there's enough breading to feel like a proper crab cake but not feel like filler. The truffle fries are tasty! A crisp texture with a somewhat soft inside and a good amount of truffle oil and parmesan on top. Definitely worth getting (especially if you're eating fried seafood). The Key lime pie is the real deal! You can taste the key lime zest and juice within every bite. it's creamy yet still has some structure in it's whipped interior. The pie crust is also fantastic as it tastes from scratch. The Oatmeal cookies may not hit the spot for everyone, but this is a great dessert if you don't want something sweet. This is like the cookies you would eat with tea time. They're made fresh and it makes such a huge difference. I wish I could order just one cookie, but three is Ok in hindsight.

The service was great, very attentive. Our server was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is very loud, it's truly difficult to have a conversation. Would not recommend for a romantic dinner or date night. The 3 star review is for the food. For the starter: the blue cheese wedge is $16.99 and it was watery and the edges were wilted. I was very disappointed. My husband said he really liked the fish and chips. (Although he ordered truffle fries and just regular fries were served) My salmon plate looked beautiful in presentation but the salmon was very dry and overcooked. This was our first time dining here and it wasn't a good experience. Maybe just an 'off' night??

Honestly their hidden secret is their cheeseburger. It has to be my favorite cheeseburger in all of DFW with the most perfect Crispy fries.

Fresh Fresh and Fresh seafood! My mother and I stopped in on a Wednesday around 2pm. They weren't busy, so we got to pick the area of the restaurant we wanted to sit in. The bar had outlets, USB ports, and purse hooks! So of course we sat at the bar lol. I didn't get a drink, but they literally have a FULL BAR. Every type and brand of liquor you can think of. I went with the Fish & Chips, and my mother for the Crispy coconut crusted shrimp . Both were delicious! My fish was so fresh and didn't have that frozen fish smell. The batter was perfect flaky and the fries were also seasoned so well. My mom enjoyed her shrimp and really appreciated the sriracha aioli for dipping! I can't wait to go back!

We came here tonight for Jamie's bday, and it was okay: Food: We got a redfish and a lobster roll, and what we got was just okay. Proteins were overcooked, fries came out lukewarm, and veggies (grilled broccoli/cauliflower) we cooked just right, smoky and delicious. Entrees are very aggressively priced, particularly so when execution is flawed. Service: Nice and friendly, with little attention while dining. We would have been happy to get another round of drinks, but were never asked. Vibe: Interior space was interesting, kind of dark/techno trendy with lots of neon and mirrors. music was bass heavy techno disco-like, an odd choice for a mostly silver haired clientele. Our table was right next to the hostess station, and it was cold whenever someone entered or left the restaurant. Pleasant surprise: We got a complimentary slice of key lime pie for dessert (after being given the dessert menu) and we enjoyed it thoroughly, the best part of the meal for us tonight.

I'm so glad I found this place. My food club and I decided to try it, and we were not disappointed! Our server Amber was fantastic; it was super busy for a Thursday night, so I think she got tied up some with the many tables, but overall I think she did a great job. I also love the complimentary valet. For starters, we had crab cakes, coconut shrimp, ceviche, and shrimp cocktail. All of them were tasty, but my top two would have to be the crab cakes and coconut shrimp. I'm not sure what sauce they used, but it's a solid paring. Also, I'm not sure what seasoning they put on the popcorn, but we ate all of it. They really knocked it out of the park with the entrees. We had the NOLA Bbq Shrimp and grits, which I loved. The grits were thick and a little spicy, the portion was fair, and the bread wasn't hard and overcooked. My second favorite would have to be the Chilean Sea Bass. I love how it was crispy on top but very fresh in the center. Next is the Shellfish Yellow Curry. The portion is huge, and the flavor is all there! Really satisfied with this plate. The Ahi Tuna is also a good choice! For desserts, they brought The Big Chocolate Cake out with a candle for my birthday. I appreciate Amber for that giving no one told her to, so it just shows she was really attentive. If you're a dark chocolate fan, you will love it; I enjoyed the Apple Cobbler the most. It was baked to perfection with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top. 10/10 would recommend this place. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying any and everything.

My husband and I came in for dinner on a Wednesday. It was busy but we were able to get a table inside. The parking was a nightmare so I highly recommend an Uber if you can. We had to wait almost 20minutes to get our car from valet so just keep that in mind. Not because valet wasn't hustling but because the traffic on the main road makes car retrieval slow. But once inside, the food was well worth the visit! I had the Salmon bowl and every part of it was delicious. My husband was happy to see a decent size portion of Salmon that he could finish for me. The side Mushrooms were sooo flavorful and they were cooked perfectly. I was so happy to see they were cremini! My husband had shrimp and Grits and while it was super flavorful, he couldn't finish it so order that if you're very hungry! The manager came by to check on us at the end of the meal which is always nice to see. Super friendly but we didn't have the heart to tell him our server definitely needed some retraining. She didn't know the menu and we had to stop her every time she speed walked by our table if we needed anything. Heavy sighing as she walked around. Gossiping in view of customers..it was just obvious she didn't want to be there..bit of a downer.

We arrived for a 7:15 reservation. Seated immediately. The space is smaller than I imagined. The service was top tier. The popcorn they serve when you sit was yummy. ( I would love to order some to go). They sell the seasoning salt. Our food was amazing. The crab artichoke dip was fantastic. I had the Pecan Crusted Trout. Out of this world amazing. My husband had the Seafood Curry sooooooo good. The Chocolate Cake for desert was mid. We will for sure visit again.

Love the location and layout. Had a group lunch here. My quick hits: we didn't get to explore the menu in depth and settled for easier lunch fare. Our fault but we didn't have all day. Food was good but not really memorable. Staff was nice. Prices were extemely high for what we ordered.

Khiana C.

Yelp
Super friendly service upon arrival. Came for lunch on a Monday . Complimentary popcorn served and we ordered bacon wrapped shrimp for the appetizer. Bacon was cooked to perfection , with a crunch and the shrimp were a delight, along with the sauce . Main entrees included the Maine lobster roll and four woods hot smoked salmon. The lobster roll was really fresh and flavorful and the Mac and cheese was dipped in sauce and extra creamy! The salmon was AMAZING! It definitely had a smoked taste to it . Cooked to perfection and served with creamy mashed potatoes and tasty mushrooms! Fast and helpful service as well! Yum yum yum! Highly recommend this establishment!

This is a cute little seafood restaurant just outside the Park Cities. It's always packed when I'm here. They have a great selection in Seafood and servers are very attentive. I like the restaurant decor and we enjoy ourselves when we're here. The menu is a little pricey, is my only criticism, cause there are other seafood places in the area that are just as good but more reasonable. Otherwise, it's a place to get seafood!

Semhar M.

Yelp
Had an overall good experience here!! The back patio was lovely, the staff was friendly, and the vibes were great. Food: I got the fish and chips because I missed my vacation days in England. They were okay. The chips (fries) were seasoned well and crispy but the fish needed a bit more kick for me. I regret not ordering the red fish of the day like some of the gals in my group did. Next time. I didn't indulge in any cocktails but from what everyone had at the table, seems like they were pleased. I'll be back to try different types of food as Yelpers have a lot to say about this spot.

Macy W.

Yelp
The salmon was amazing! Very unique flavor and the mushrooms (which I usually don't eat) were also seasoned really well. The charbroiled oysters were unbelievably good. I could go back just for those. The jambalaya was flavorful and not very spicy. Redfish is apparently very popular and did not disappoint. Their Caesar salad tasted like it had mayonnaise for dressing, so it was gross, but everything else made up for it. The Lovers 75 drink was not that good, and the key lime pie was way too tart/the crust was not done well. Go for the seafood though, they know what they're doing!

So much has been going on with us, so my mom hadn't been able to go out since she arrived in Dallas around the beginning of the year. I wanted to take her somewhere that I knew she would truly enjoy and I decided it would be Lovers Seafood and Market and they did not disappoint. While making the reservation, I shared some personal details about our visit (I don't even know why I felt the need to...but I'm glad I did). We weren't drinking alcohol, so we asked that they make us pretty virgin drinks. These were delicious...and they were very generous with them. For appetizers, we got the CRISPY COCONUT CRUSTED SHRIMP (my mom wasn't sure about this when it was time to order, but the lady taking care of us said it was great. I'm glad we listened. It was amazing! Our favorite appetizer of the night), we also got the LYNAE'S JUMBO LUMP CRAB CAKES (another favorite of my mom's), the BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP STUFFED JALAPENOS and the CRISPY TEMPURA LOBSTER "SPOONS" (which had this curry that was absolutely delicious). For dinner, I got the MR. B'S SHRIMP & GRITS and my mom got the BLACKENED TEXAS REDFISH. I really really liked her food. But mine was delicious too. And there was a generous portion of shrimp in the shrimp and grits meal. For dessert, it was the TRADITIONAL CREME BRULEE (I loved this! Omg! So light and delicious) and we also got the APPLE COBBLER (my mom preferred this). All the food - EVERYTHING, including dessert, tasted so fresh and delicious. My mom kept going on and on about it. But...I think the best part of the evening (and I'm not sure how this topped the amazing food we got) was the service. Thank you, Lovers seafood and market. Throughout the night, the lady taking care of our table was EXCELLENT. She was extremely pleasant (I wish I remembered her name! She was so kind to us and just a joy to be around. She was very friendly while giving recommendations and would check in regularly. There were times I would look in her direction and then hesitate because I wasn't sure I really needed her help in that moment and it was clear that she was paying attention because, she would show up at our table to ask if we needed anything. And I saw that she was able to give her other tables the same (somehow) undivided attention. There was also a man who kept checking on us (I am guessing he was the manager). At the end of the dinner, we got our bill and they had VERY GENEROUSLY taken a bunch of stuff off the bill. After the amazing service, they did not have to do that. My mom was VERY happy at dinner and after. She hasn't been able to stop thanking me for taking her out to such a lovely dinner. The space, the service the food...all 100%. Thank you Lovers Seafood and Market. Thank you for good food, your kindness and your generosity. And thank you for making my mom happy.

We went for Valentine's Day and overall enjoyed our visit! They added an extra table to the seating area so it was close quarters but also meant you could get some tea from the next table Service was adequate and didn't feel rushed on a busy night. We had the tuna tartare, scampi, shrimp and grits, red fish and the brownie for dessert! The starters (tuna and scampi) were delicious and flavorful. The shrimp and grits had the potential to be amazing but the shrimp were overcooked. The redfish was ok.

Gonna keep this short and sweet: this place is UTTERLY FANTASTIC. Fabulous cocktails (especially the flask old fashioned and the special Thai chile watermelon margarita) and phenomenal food. Stunning crab cakes, addictive halibut ceviche, best tuna poke EVER, delicious fish and chips. Service was amazing, ambiance was perfect. They offer free valet (nice touch!). And the prices are absolutely spot on for the quality. Loved every damn thing about this place. Can't wait to come back.

The waitress was very pleasant. Beyond that, the food was not great. Fries were very greasy. I arrived at 11:15 and was asked if I had a reservation. The restaurant was empty. I had fried oysters and shrimp. I will not return to this restaurant. Very overrated! There was only valet parking. I can't recommend this place.

Food was ok but over priced. Service was good. Ambiance was horrible. Cramped (let's see how many tables we can shove into a tiny space). We were basically sitting in a hallway beside an open breezeway separated from the outside by a curtain. Flies so rampant that they had to give us a fan-type contraption to keep them away. Three ended up in my wine glass and I drank one of them before I realized what was happening. Overall...substandard. Will not be back.

From beginning to end, my experience was good! We made reservations online and when we arrived the place was *packed*. They have valet, which from what I could tell is the only parking that's available. A patio and outside bar is there, and depending on the night, live music. Our waitress was super attentive and provided us with several recommendations from drinks, apps andd dinner. I ordered their crab cakes as my appetizer, a spicy marg & for the main entrée I did their blackened Texas redfish and on top of jambalaya if I'm not mistaken. Whatever it was.. was a HIT! Highly recommend this location especially for the seafood lovers.

Amazing, everything was on point: cocktails, bacon wrapped jalapeno stuffed with shrimp, smoked salmon, seared bluefin tuna, and the yellow curry. Not only is the quality there, but the flavors are extremely on point. I look forward to coming back again. As a bonus, the atmosphere was great, service was good even though it was a crowded valentine's day dinner, and reasonably priced given how great it is.

I really enjoyed the experience at this restaurant a few weeks ago we went on Saturday. I will say our waiter was awesome and I regret not remembering his name but he was a younger black guy. First, the menu has a ton of great selection it was hard to choose what we wanted to eat. So we went with the Mussels, Gumbo, Stir Fry Cauliflower Rice, Ceviche, a few of the Grilled oysters. The only thing I didn't care for was the Ceviche it was a miss for me it lacked heat of the jalapeño and the flavor of the lime. I actually sent that back. The Gumbo was on point and I almost lost my manners and wanted to lick the bowl . The Drink was great we tried the Vaccine and it was superb. I will definitely be back to eat again as they had many more options I wanted to try. Plus, I have get the gumbo and Stir Fry Again. Also, a little hint they have happy hour on Saturdays too.

Always a great meal at Lovers. Dined on Saturday night with friends. Didn't have a reservation, but was able to call in to grab one. Only one snag when the kitchen sent out a replacement for the calamari without asking first, but that app was comped along with a couple drinks. I'm all about drink presentation, so was impressed with the boulevardier and old fashioned presentations. Tried a few things, but only remembered to take a pic of the pecan crusted trout. It was delicious! The grits were among the best I've ever had, and I'm from the Carolinas!
