OVERPRICED, SO SO TASTE!

by Taurianbelle

be warned, you can get better quality food for way less money, if you crave fresh grilled Seafood, you're better off to go to Greek Captain in Queens or even your local fish market will have a better taste than the food here.

My husband and i went there with our daughter, my daughter ordered popcorn shrimp, the shrimp came out very soggy, so what's the point of calling it Popcorn. My husband ordered baked salmon with mushroom ravioli, "Salmon came out with insides still cold and raw", disgusting! if we wanted Sashimi or Sushi, we could have just went to our favorite family Sushi restaurant in Carle Place "Koiso". The complimentary bread came out when we are almost done with our dinner, while these people who arrive after us get served with it first. I ordered the Appetizer platter, that looks disgusting, the crabmeat looks like it was toss in there the tuna, shrimp cocktail is stiff and hard, dumpling has decent taste, although very soggy, served on a greasy appetizer plate. We also ordered Oysters, that came in with very little meat for hefty price of $25, WOW, for 12 pieces of almost meatless Oysters, that is insane!!

I ordered a glass of Pinot, and they serve it to me in this small wine glass, while looking around these people who are drinking their pinot is served in this beautiful, big, tall wine glass, sounds like these people here has favoritism, we are Asian, and I noticed that they are treating these Asians next to us the same exact way, what a freakin Bigots!!

BE WARNED PEOPLE, there are better seafood restaurant Carle Place, Garden City, Westbury area, just not here please, we worked hard for our money and spending it here is just a complete waste.

  • Pros: great ambiance
  • Cons: overpriced, tasteless, and bigots!

Amazing flavor!!

by sfncs03

This is the only place so far that has been able to cater to both my boyfriend and myself. I love seafood and he won't eat it. I enjoy the clams at this place so much I moan when I first taste them. I love that they aren't little steamers which are small and pointless. I love their butter, it's great. It has a distinct flavor. We always get seated quickly and last time our server did look like he hated being there but it matters so little to me because I enjoy the food so much. I love their alaskan king crab legs braised in sherry and garlic. It's sooooo, good. He orders the filet mignon which he says is very good especially for a seafood place and last time he had the roasted chicken which I even agreed was very good. He likes the vegetable selection even though they don't make the broccoli soft enough for him. It's pricey so we don't frequent that much. But it is in my favorites list.

  • Pros: great tasting food....
  • Cons: pricey....

DISGUSTING... OVERRATED... OVERPRICED!

by 798

I wonder if the one and only review (prior to mine) was written by their owner. We were seated quickly. My kids ordered apple juice and were given another concoction that neither us nor the waiter could recognize. It tasted like champagne or wine cooler. We sent it back, and were given apple juice, but with no explanation of what the "drink" was. My husbands water glass had grease prints on it.... we requested a clean glass. We started our meal with the calamari appetizer which was good, though the portion was small. For entrees my husband ordered the fish and chips, and I the grilled Salmon with side of veggies.. My husband barely ate his fish, it had no flavor and for almost 20 dollars, was very average... the McDonalds fish sandwich has better taste. He ended up drowning it in salt... and the fries with it were fries.. nothing special... Since we are on a diet, I made sure to order "grilled" and not fried etc.. my grilled salmon tasted like it was deep fried.. you know the taste of grease. it was crisp on the outside but the inside was almost raw, like lox. If I wanted raw, I would have went for sushi. It was greasy on the outside and slimy raw fish on the inside. It was the nastiest food that i've eaten in a long time.. We were so turned off we asked for the check and called it a day.. 85 bucks for food that was worth 20 the most.. the food was disgusting to say the least... I'm angered that I paid the money I did for food of such low quality..

IF YOU HAVE ANY TASTE OR SENSIBILITY...I DO NOT RECOMMEND DINING HERE....

  • Pros: Nice Ambiance
  • Cons: Bad Food, Bad Service, Over Priced
