    This restaurant has been here for a bit and I am wishing I had come sooner. This restaurant is probably the best seafood place I’ve ever eaten at. I was blown away by the seafood boil nayerite. I also tried this seafood tostada and it was so amazing! My husband and I will definitely be going back. The one thing I think I would suggest maybe is the volume of the live music. It was a bit louder than I expected for the space and had a difficult time conversing with my husband. But overall an amazing experience and so glad this place is in our neighborhood.
