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.

Walked in a little skeptical because we were the only ones there. It was noon so early and just opened at 11:30. Glad we ventured in. This is a hidden secret. Sauce and flavoring SO good. Prices are fair atmosphere is really cute and crabby appropriate. Shared the king crab and #shrimp combo. DELICIOUS TRY IT!! added garlic bread to soak up the juices. Get it!!! Sorry half eaten pics but couldn’t wait to dig in.

Stop everything and go here. We decided to road trip 72 miles to check it out and it was well worth the drive. Pretty standard pricing and options for a steam-in-a-bag joint. It wasn't overly crowded (6pm on Fri night) and a nice change from the standard Fri night fish fry. The service was beyond great. Quick, attentive, cheerful, and fun. The food came quickly and was cooked perfectly (noted that a tank on-site held live lobsters and crabs.) Seasoning leaned towards the spicy side for the mild option, but in a good way. We got an order of wings for the heck of it...amaze. They also offer a limited selection of stir fry, pho and other Asian dishes if you feel like mixing it up.
