The restaurant is very nice inside. Service was good. The chili shrimp was okay but shrimp pasta was delicious. The lobster mac and cheese is good too. They do not offer a kids menu.

We came for dinner on a Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The place was fairly empty. Everything we ordered came out fairly quick and tasty. The wait service was prompt and attentive. The atmosphere seems lively. They were playing modern hip hop music. Overall a great experience.

First time dining and I had a great time. Food came out of Farley quickly. It was tasty; Cajun garlic parmesan fries were one of my favorites. We also have the combo lobster in the skillets; the sauce was delicious. I order drinks off the menus. The Cadillac margarita was perfect. I will coming back soon.

1st time there, We tried a few different things. The Bulgogi tacos were fabulous! Oysters were very small, Cajun garlic parmesan fries were good. Smoky Pineapple cocktail was decent, as was the cheesecake. Service was at times a bit pushy, then non existent. I know theyre new and still working things out so Im looking forward to trying them again.

Overall the food was just a 2 out of 5. The best item we had was the potstickers. If you are looking for a nice place to grab a drink before a movie, the bar is probably their best asset. As far as the service. We had a wonderful server but she was over sat and they were extremely understaffed. I felt bad for her as she didn’t have much support but did the best job she could.**why my rating went from a 2 1/2-3 to a 1**We accidentally left our credit card and called to check to see if it was there and the hostess literally told me that they were too busy and understaffed to look but that someone would call me in a couple days and let me know 😳. We definitely won’t be going back anytime soon.

Nice environment! Clean all the way around! Great music and many TVs. Food was fresh but adjustments needed. Shrimp skillet: cook them in seasoning. Butter garlic was not tasty. Garlic bread toast should be fresh and hot. Cajun pasta has a weird flavor of heat with sweat. Salmon Taco should be salad taco with all the garnishments on them (2). Reduce and provide more salmon. Garlic rice was good. Ill be back to try more.

The entire sit down area of the restaurant was being serviced by one waitress. She was rushed and overworked, hence the service was lousy, but not her fault.The food was disgusting. Pizza - undercooked in the middle. Ribeye Steak - serviced with a 4 diameter round of fat hanging off of the steak. The steak was covered with some type of sauce, which was not included in the description on the menu. Couldnt even finish the food. And we were never asked how the food was.We will NEVER waste our money there again!!!!!

The food? Amazing.The service? Impeccable.The ambience? Extremely enjoyable.My wife and I came here a few months ago and we immediately felt like comfortable walking in. We were greeted by staff member immediately and got a table within a few seconds.The menu is great. We fell in love with their salads and sweet chili shrimp tacos. Absolutely amazing!Looking forward to coming back at least 2-3 times a months.

I have to say, as someone who loves to travel and eat this has to be some of the best if not the best crab and shrimp boil I’ve had. Flavor was perfect. Only thing missing was some spice. I do like some heat on my seafood boils but the flavor overall 9 out 10. The Cajun garlic fries and garlic noodles were good too. Highly recommend #hamvsfood #mrlinkinmybio

They changed the menu in the last few weeks. Removed some great appetizers (RIP coconut shrimp) and my personal favorite entree, the Lobster Mac n Cheese. Seems the overall selection is larger, but the food still available was just so-so. Assuming they weren’t making money before since entree prices were a bit higher, but their adjustments left me disappointed.This was one of my favorites in Brentwood - there aren’t many great restaurants here to begin with - feel like I lost a great option besides Attra.Bring back some of the removed items, please!

What a fantastic find. I had seen it many times when I was shopping at Streets of Brentwood. It is the perfect atmosphere. You can eat outside or inside. There is an amazing bar with a great selection. Our waitress was Armita and the first thing she asked is, Have we ever been there before? When we said no and that we were looking for a nice place to try new things. She lit up, and we could tell she really liked where she was working, and liked what they have as well. She mad made some excelent suggestions. We started with calamari and it wasnt just the rings. It was a full plate of perfectly cooked rings and tentacles and 2 dips. They were so good they didnt really need the dips. However the dips were delicious and fresh tasting. We also got the Japanese oysters off the RAW menue and they are so fresh and light, and had a perfect feal and flavor. It is a must try ! We ended up getting Shrimp Scampi and Chicken Piccata and you might say... oh you can get that anywhere. Well not like theirs, the flavors were very complex and each bite gave you something delicious. Naturally we shared and we both loved each others dinner. This is the real deal, very high end food for a great price, but a comfortable atmosphere. You can even watch the game there. Enjoy, bring friends and make memories!

-Out of Oysters (bummer)-Lobster Skillet was out of sausage so she said theyll put extra corn. Supposed to come with 2 corn to begin with. Skillet comes out with one corn which is less than the original two and we paid $110 for that??Service was decent, nothing spectacular. The food we did get was actually tasty. Will probably try one more time to see if they get it together...

Food was good once we got it. Service was terrible. Sat at bar. Ordered a drink and received it in a timely fashion although no welcome words etc. Second round he never came back to take our food or drink order. He proceeded to wait on two other couples who had arrived after we did. We had to ask someone else to get him to come take our food order. And through all this never a smile or any conversation. Never came back to ask how our meal was etc. we felt we were an imposition to him.

Food was outstanding, and the service was exceptional, considering we sat at the full service bar. Prices were not too bad for the amount of food.

2023-05-17 02:08:04

The food we ordered was very fresh, unfortunately we are an iced tea family and they dont offer fresh brewed tea. My only other issue was no blue cheese dressing for the wings. The service was very good.

I love the atmosphere here! My husband and I come in a couple times a month. We love their artichoke dip, garlic soy wings (not on the menu), and the cesar with crab cake. Their drinks are absolutely amazing. Normally when I go to restaurant I only order wine because they cheat you on alcohol. Not here! The espresso martini is my absolute favorite ( thanks to Anthony the best damn bartender Ive ever met). Andy and Lily are super sweet and attentive. Enjoy!

The atmosphere was perfect if you say wish to watch a game while you eat on some yummy food. The crab was decent. Nothing spectacular just ok. The chicken wings were better. Drinks too. Wouldnt order crab again but definitely chicken wings. The bill was pricey

I cant speak to the low reviews, but this was my second time here, and everything was stellar (Aside from them being out of the calamari!). We sat at the bar, and while the restaurant seemed at a medium flow, there was only one server and the bartender working the floor, but they made it work! We were attended to regularly and all of our food was delicious (Bulgogi tacos, blackened salmon, and steamed mussels) and our drinks were cold and tasty. The bartender was a GEM and he went above and beyond. We will be back for sure.

2023-02-18 04:37:06

The service here was great! Our waiter forgot his name but had the handle bar mustache gave service that rivaled a Michelin star restaurant. 🌟 Our drinks were never less than half full!!! Our Ceasars salad was the only thing that should have been cut up thinner. The anchovies should have cut up in small pieces would have made that dish better. The oysters were good. Our shrimp scampi was okay. But great for Brentwood. The bulgogi tacos were very good. But I was very impressed with the service. Cant wait to try their crab on our next visit.

On 11 06 22 we accompanied another couple for dinner and drinks. What a negative experience. There were so many things that went wrong, however the most horrific thing was that after signing and paying the bill, once we left thier establishment the MANAGER decided to rering up our bill an added another $70.00s to the bill and then charge the card. Lets start from the beginning. Once we arrived we had to wait 30 minutes for drinks, only to be approached by the bartender and questioned rudely about ordering a HENNY-RITA. Which is technically a margarita made with Hennessey as apposed to Tequila. Then we wait another 20 minutes before we could order appetizers. Upon doing so the husbands decide they want to now drink Beautifuls, which only brings the bartender back to us to say they would be cold. So they refused and continued drinking what they had. Our appetizers arrive and the garlic rice was cold and hard so it was sent back. We placed our order for dinner 2 separate orders. They decided to combine our food together. Not to mention our hot mixer plates were ordered different and with different spice levels. They take the food back with now another 15 minute wait. At this point the night with the resturant is a disaster. The manager comes over to apologize. Then says what is everyone drinking allow me to refill the drinks. Now after EVERYTHING we had experienced we said that would be great. However after paying and signing our bill they adjusted our bill and added the drinks the manager offered us. He had the nerves to initially be argumentative about his scam. I suggest keeping your receipt until the amount you signed for has posted at your bank. Be AWARE.

Unfortunately we didn’t have the best experience. Our server did her very best to make it the best experience but we had issues that were out of her control. First, we had all our starters come to the table before our drinks did. We then ordered our entrees and they all came at different times. Unfortunately my husbands never made it to the table. We were informed after everyone else was half way thru their meals that they had ran out of salmon and had to go buy some more. At that point we canceled his dinner because by the time time it came we all would have been done eating. At this point I think a manager should have came over to explain and apologize. We weren’t asking for anything free or discounted, but as someone who works in customer service a manager should have came over.

The other review is pretty on target. New, still getting footing, busy and inexperienced servers. Sausage was good. Think about adding crab option to salad. How about a lobster chowder? The lobster was only scored on top, where I personally feel the underbelly is better when using mostly hands. Large alcohol selection.Crab cakes were good, will hand that to you.Consider using Google reservations, or disabling before you actually can accept them. Since this is a theater nearby, we entered a google reserve before 4pm and were in the movie past 5:30 so it would be awesome to know our arrival was anticipated. We got seated in less than 20min, so it all good.If the wait staff wants to get a larger tip, they need to act like they want it. Ours disappeared for 10+min, I dont believe at any table and I couldnt track them down for bread.It turns out no bread, just crustini, so it means you cant soak up the seafood droppings and butter like a garlic bread thing. I would have expected that on the menu at a seafood place.I hope this helps.

Best dining experience weve had in a while! Me and my husband split the Big Mix and it was fresh and tasted amazing! Drinks were good (mixed and beer) and the servers were friendly and had a good sense of humor. Cant wait till they have dessert too! 😁

2022-07-31 22:25:02

Only giving them a 4 star because I keep calling and get no answer. Service was amazing and food was good but a little pricey. I am also a little picky when it comes to my lobster rolls and theirs comes cold vs warm. This isn’t a big deal but I expected warm lol. Drinks were yummy! I’m going back again tonight. Ambiance is nice. Music is loud enough to cover conversations outside of your party and block out any other noises you can find annoying while going out to eat. Definitely trying it again.

Bar service was excellent. We had premium call drinks that were perfect. I had ceviche and my friend had wings. Im super picky and the civiche was excellent for a restaurant. He didnt like the sauce on his wings, so they replaces the wings no charge. Service was in good timing.Will definitely be back!

Tried enjoying a dinner here with my daughter. We sat for 15 minutes at our table without being greeted, offered water, or anything. Just ignored. We ended up leaving. I choose to spend my money at places that appreciate it. This restaurant clearly doesn’t care.

2022-12-11 03:05:24

Went to celebrate a birthday and the service was bad. Our party mentioned to different waiters about the birthday and nothing special was done. There is an extra step to go up to the tables and by accident one of us fell and other customers came to check on us but not one waiter/manager or any staff member. Worst of all is for a party of 4 they force a 20% tip lol. Will never return here and my extensive family members will hear about this experience.

Review №39

2022-11-21 20:25:38

The service was beyond perfect. The crab cakes and fries were perfect as well. I only dropped one star bc the wings was kind of dry and drinks you couldn’t taste any alcohol. I also can’t believe a shot is 18 dollars lol that was beyond me. But besides that we would return and try a dinner plate next time.

Actually came twice in one day! Great dining experience on the first go round...2nd time around was good. I shopped for little met up with another friend who was hungry so I decided Id grab dessert while he ate..My phone was dying and inoticed there was some outlets directly behind the hostess counter. I had my charger and asked if I could charge my phone for a few minutes while I dined. The hostess who was really sweet asked the manager...I believe his name is John. He said no without even looking up. So that soured my experience...especially after spending almost 200 in one day...which is why I didnt give 5 stars.

Was hoping for a great seafood experience. ...We ordered oysters to start and they had run out of horseradish yet we had arrived at 5:15. I am gluten free and was excited to order clams or a mussel steamer plate, but they said they were out of both of them. Instead, I had a shrimp skillet with butter but it came with the shrimp with all the shells on and I had to get my hands on all the buttery oily shrimp and peel off the shells before I could eat them. The corn was mushy. It was just not a great plate very disappointing... Brentwood, there are a lot of people living here and we want good food! Tired of driving to Walnut Creek for restaurants.:(

Anthony, Andi & Andrew (Marine Guy) are awesome at the bar. We have a great time EVERY TIME and the drinks are amazing! Best part is you get a history lesson on the libations, which is pretty cool (sorry Anthony had to tell). This is our favorite spot in Brentwood for sure!! Oh and uh… forgot to mention… the Cajun pasta and Seafood platters are bomb 💣 thanks guys for a great dining experience!

The restaurant is still new and has yet to gain a full staff so they are under temporary 4 hour opening only as of time of writing.Review:Place: Went shortly after they opened and it was clean and pleasant looking, most tables sat empty though.Wait time: took about 20 minutes to get a table after arriving but most table were empty just a lack of staff a guess.Waiter: after sitting down it took about another 20 minutes before the waiter even talked to us and again the place was mostly empty apart from the bar which was full.Food and alcohol: the seafood was sorta bland aside from the corn and sausage which was good. Some of the people I was with were rejected alcohol cause they forgot their id,s keep in mind they were about 40 and not young looking.Overall: The place was fairly disappointing and the service bad, Ill chock it up to just being an understaffed and inexperienced workers at the moment. As well as coming at a bad time I guessTldr: I would recommend coming to this place later when they have a full staff and the cooks have better learned their craft

The food was amazing. Staff and service were great! This was during the soft opening. The bar area is a nice place to come and hangout. The crab and shrimp plate was super good! Highly recommended from a local Brentwood resident.

Honestly I been to this place like 5 times and had a good experience, but today feb 18th at 6 30 had a real rude hostess tell me and my buddy to leave the table because its for food only . The crazy part is that it was slow 😆. She should of just said you have to order something to sit here and we would of gladly done so. Dont go if you do not want to see a child speak to adults with zero class.

Food and drinks were good, the staff friendly and attentive even though they seemed to be short staffed, the one negative was the air conditioning. It was so cold that it was uncomfortable and your food was cold quickly!! Wanted to stay longer but too cold inside.

We’ve been twice now. Once during their soft opening so I didn’t review (it was—-not great) and then again yesterday. The service was good but damn the food is greasy. The menu is weak, expensive, heavy and so greasy.

This place has the worst service. I was part of a party of 10 so automatically 22 % services charge. Our waiter Chris was horrible. He kept making excuses for why our order was not arriving. He kept on ignoring my husband and I. I would never come here again.

2023-01-21 19:46:29

The food is great every item I ordered was delicious and the service is 5 star and quick once you place your order your food starts to arrive shortly after as if they read your mind before you ordered it and all the servers are polite and professional this might sound crazy but there so professional its almost as if your in a movie and there acting because no one can be so lively and that nice to you and everyone in the restaurant I will be going back there again and again the crab and shrimp was so fresh as if they got it off the fishing dock that day..

Went in on July 16th for my birthday for dinner. My corn, and garlic noodles were cold, crab had no taste because there were closing the kitchen down early. Manager John refused to come to table to address the issues. The food wasn’t replaced. Manager John didn’t even come out to apologize.

I visited this place right after my movie let out. I stood in the hostess area for 20 minutes before someone came up to me and told me it would be another 15 minutes before i could sit down. The restaurant was virtually empty, but just that experience was enough to cross this place off the list. I left without even trying anything.
