The smoked old fashion drinks were great! The tuna nachos we ordered did not have enough tuna, they were ok. The edamame appetizer with garlic butter was delicious as was the calamari. We also had the Texas Thunder Roll which was delish. All in all we will be back.

Seafood Gumbo was fantastic! We did the two course lunch and had seared salmon as the main course. It was a lot of food for $17. Definitely a value.
