What a pleasant surprise! Went tonight with Pete, Catt and Otter. I was expecting a crabhouse, but this is actually a fairly nice restaurant. Not all fancy shmancy, but comfortable and nicely decorated.
The menu is small BUT they had about a thousand things on special that the waiter rattled off to us, including 5 or 6 fresh fish selections. While we were looking over the menu, Jerry the owner came around with snacks for us to try - one was a scallop in some sort of creamy sauce and the other was a bacon wrapped scallop. Both were delicious.
For dinner I had what the waiter called "puff pastry", which was actually a phyllo cup with this mound of crab meat and a whole lobster cut up in it, topped with a sherry cream sauce. This thing was HUGE! Then you get your choice of two sides to go along with it: I chose a salad with extremely good homemade bleu cheese dressing and some crispy fries.
The prices aren't cheap, but the portions were huge and you could tell they use good ingredients and don't wank out on the quality. Plus I ate only half my meal and was stuffed to the gills.
Also Catt got them to bring her one hushpuppie, which she shared with the rest of us, and MAN it was good! Crispy and light, drizzled with honey that it didn't really need. She said the puppies were delicious and she wasn't kidding.
I would definitely go back there.
