Came here with my family and was being pressured to leave a tip. Started talking about me because I was not able too. Last time I checked tips are optional not mandatory. Don’t come here unless you are going to leave a tip because they will hound you for one. Food was also cold.
Normally my child and I enjoy coming here for the seafood variety and the friendliness of our servers. However, this week we decided to eat here and had a very inappropriate and disgusting experience. There were 4 men who at first we assumed were also customers getting their food. My daughter and I were on our way to our table when they began turning look at me and then my daughter and one of them said something sexual about her. When I pointed out not to look or talk about my daughter because she's a minor they acted shocked that I even understood Spanish. When we went back to our table afterwards I realized these "men" were part of their kitchen staff who was on the floor getting their break and sexually harassing my daughter. We will not be returning here anymore, it is sad because we have always had a good experience in the past and it was one of her favorite local spots to go to. I suggest the owners do a better background check of their staff if they want to avoid any legal problems.
This place used to serve great quality food…15yrs ago. Today, I was upset to find rubbery lobster claws, burnt cookies and over cooked food. The breaded shrimp tasted like they under cooked it in the microwave. We tried every single dish and were terribly upset with the quality. I paid over $100 so I am terribly upset. The only good thing I can say is that the ribs were cooked to be tender but were mostly fat and gristle. The soups were ok and the steamed rice was really good. The crab was sweet but the flour coating ruined it, as it tasted like it wasn’t fried all the way. I really hope it was just a bad day for the cook because I would hate for another family to experience the same thing.
