Quiet, staff was very friendly and helpful with my gluten free needs! Crab cakes were massive, and the she crab soup was devine!

Well seasoned seafood, and seafood in the back to buy and cook later. Very knowledgeable about gluten free options (including crab cake and fried oysters!!) portions were large enough it had leftovers. We got some large platter with a bunch of meat (don't remember the name) and seafood gumbo. The cashier was very patient with my million questions.
