New place to try near our area. Staff sit us right away. They were friendly and attentive. Our drinks were filled right away. Service was quick and everything was hot. We ordered the Trio Especial it is a lot for 3 people so we took home the left over. We chose the lemon butter and Cajun for the sauce. Love that they name their drinks after locations in Escondido. I think they need to put a big sign outside where everybody can see it. We just happen to stop in front of it. They have happy hour until 7pm. They have other Asian inspired dishes on the menu so if you don't like seafood there are other options. We would be back again with friends and families.

Came here for our anniversary dinner, the food was flavorful and the raw oysters were MASSIVE!!!! Enjoyed a nice dinner, the waitress was attentive and friendly. The place is a little dark so it was hard to see our menus. When the food came out it was hot and fresh but our boiled eggs were definitely overcooked I had to take the yolks out due to poor flavor because of it. Some of the crawfish were tiny but beyond that food was great!

Food is delicious. Place is super loud and noisy but service is great. We've asked for Carrie the server and have had her on three different occasions. She goes above and beyond each and every time. We've brought several different people here after loving it on our first time

I am so glad we tried this restaurant. We will definitely come back with others. The food was fresh and so delicious. I am a huge fan of seafood, they offer many options and different preparations. We had the Escondido special with crab, lobster, and shrimp. It came with corn, potatoes and sausage. They also have a good selection of drinks, and local beer. The prices are very reasonable.
