Christopher S.Christopher Sherman: My favorite seafood restaurant in Houston... The crab cake is delicious but my favorite is the lobster of course...

Tamika C.Tamika Caston-Miller: Happy hour is EXCELLENT! The drinks are normally $12ish and are half off during happy hour. The bar has anything you could want and the happy hour eats are delicious! Great crab cake and calamari!

Victoria C.Victoria Craig: Of course the crab here is great, but we also really enjoyed the lobster bisque, the filet mignon, and the interesting take on baked Alaska. Service was spot on! The decor was dated and uninteresting.
