For years I wondered about this place, finally stopped in. The atmosphere was quiet and the decor perfect for a seafood restaurant. The wait staff was helpful, I had many questions since it was my first time there. There were several interesting choices and it took a minute to choose. The food was flavorful, displayed beautifully, and portions were plenty. It was reasonably priced selections but, some of the seafood was a bit hielegh priced. Market price was listed and visible before you make your selection. I was pleasantly surprised by this little hidden gem and will be back again.

Came here for a birthday celebration. The service is great, food wasn’t bad, and price was fair. I do like the pho though. The flavor of the broth was great! Didn’t really need to add in any extra ingredients or flavors. As for the seafood combo, I am not too big of a fan. But that is just my personal opinion. Got the house sauce and it is a mix of all three flavors they have there. Should had just got the Cajun flavor. I think the other flavors mixed with it kinda threw it off a little for me. But try it out! Not bad for a seafood place. Do recommend this place if you are visiting the Milwaukee area and want seafood! Will come back again to celebrate another event.
