My friends and I tried the ocean signature, kumquat lemongrass and house special crawfish flavors. All of them were good. Our favorite was the House Special which had orange juice in it. The kumquat lemongrass had a unique flavor but it tasted a bit synthetic (as if they used natural flavoring). We ordered all of them “spicy” the first round and it was not spicy at all. The flavors were there but there was no kick. So the second time we ordered we got “extra spicy.” This time there was a nice kick but all the flavors tasted really bitter and unpleasant. I recommend sticking with “spicy” so at least your crawfish tastes good. The oysters were great! I recommend the sample platter with all of the flavors. At around 8:15 P.M., the restaurant started playing really loud music and it was difficult for my friends and I to have a conversation. The restaurant was very busy for a Thursday night. Wait time for a table was around 5 minutes.
The seafood salad was refreshing with herbs bringing a unique flavor that stood out positively. We tried the oyster, geoduck and scallop, but the herbs and seasoning were overpowering, masking the natural seafood tastes. Razor clam was overcooked. The crawfish didn’t really stand out either—nothing memorable there.
