I came with a party of three on a Wednesday night and was surprised that we had to wait for a table. Not because the restaurant was jam packed, but because I guess the staffing was short. There were a lot of people here which was a good testament to the delicious food. They had a large selection of fish. I started out with a cup of gumbo, which wasn't very good. It was nothing like what I was expecting--it had a very tomato-paste base. Tasted like I was eating sausage and celery in spaghetti sauce. The entrees were much better. I had some kind of meaty south pacific white fish, which was good, but the sauce it came with was absolutely fantastic. I had a bite of the tilapia, which was fabulous--nice and moist with good flavor. However, the tilapia came with some kind of weird wasabi sauce, which was not very tasty. Service was pretty slow, which I guess was due to the short staffing and hopefully they're not like that all the time. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant.
Pros: nice variety of fish and very tasty
Cons: don't get the gumbo
