The food was way over priced and they had a very small gf menu. Basically salads with iceburg lettuce.

If I were rating on gf only, this would get 5 stars. Here’s the thing— I’ve been here twice and it can’t be ignored that the food subpar and the atmosphere isn’t my ideal. There is a handful of gf offerings but both times I went the food arrived cold (even a steam pot!) and the food was overpriced for the quality. Oh, the environment... do you like bright colors, flashing lights, screaming children, and singing waiters? If you do, you’ve found your seafood destination! As for me, I’m steering clear from now on.

The gluten-free menu is very limited, but fortunately includes the Crab steam pot. Worth it just for that.

Very delicious! Staff knowledgeable about gluten and dairy free options. We eat there every time we come to Brandon and I never have a reaction.

Been here in the past - GF menu isn’t very big but it has enough options. Food is delicious and servers are knowledgeable.

Had high hopes for this place, but it started off with the shrimp in my steam pot not being cleaned properly. Manager was nice and took money off the bill. I thought all precautions were taken because my steam pot came out in a different thing than my husbands. After getting back to our condo, I was up sick all night. So, some kind of cross contact did end up happening and I ended up sick. This hasn't happened to me in a long time. I really was hoping for a good experience here.

Food was honestly terrible. Extremely bland, they didn’t even have salt on it. I was very disappointed.

Service was super slow even though we got there before the dinner rush. Delicious food. Very safe. Great view of the water for my kids.
