WAIT TIME: I've eaten here a couple times now and I think I'm starting to get a handle on the best time to go and what to order. I personally think the best time to eat here is during lunch. Whether its a weekday or weekend, you can easily walk in and get a table plus the servers are a lot more attentive. Eating here during dinner, especially during a weekend, you'll definitely find yourself on a wait list. ESPECIALLY during dinner time. I remember I came on a Saturday night around 9pm and there was a 2hr wait. However, if you decide to add yourself on the wait list, they text you when your table is available, so you're able to walk around and explore. (TIP: kill some time at the arcade at Cineplex)
FOOD: My ideal meal whenever I come here is to get 1 lb of shrimp for myself with 1 order of corn and potato in the bag, 1 lb of mussels to share as well as cajun fries (ask for ranch sauce!) oh and of course a Diet Coke. All of this totals around ~$32 (includes tax + 15% tip) and with an order like this I am completely satisfied and STUFFED.

I used to order rice along with my meal but now I order the potato. Its huge!! I actually prefer ordering the potato over the rice, its cheaper and its drenched in sauce since it comes in your bag.
My mom ordered the King Crab and its literally 1 leg. Although it was 1 leg there was a lot of meat and she says she was full afterwards. But I mean, with the price you're paying for the leg you can get my entire meal.. but then again its your own preference, quality of meat vs quantity of food, it's like if i were to order an app+burger+dessert vs you ordering a really good juicy steak

TIP - ask for ranch sauce (its free!) when you order cajun fries
TIP - usually they give you a lime with a container of salt & pepper (but sometimes you have to ask for it). they don't really explain what to do with this, I made the foolish mistake of squeezing the lime into my shrimp bag and not even noticing the salt & pepper. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO is ask for extra limes and squeeze all those babies into the salt & pepper container and dip your shrimp/seafood in your sauced up bag AND THEN into the salt & pepper container, its sooooooooo good trusssss miiiii

SERVICE: ok the first time I went here, which was back in January, service straight up sucked. They would forget things that we ordered and we'd have to ask/remind them. And I remember when I asked for ranch sauce they kept forgetting to bring it over, and when they finally did it was friggen mayo!!! However, the couple times I've gone after it has gotten a lot better. There was a time when they brought everything over, but with my most recent visit they forgot to bring an order of rice. Its probably just a hit or miss with the server. The service is overall is fast, I've never really had to wait long for my food to come out. Honestly, even though the service is a hit or miss the yummy food makes up for it.
Overall I love eating here and I'm pretty sure I at least eat here once a month. The only real complaints I have with this resto is their service and that their pop isn't refillable (its canned pop - like whats that about??!?!) Dinner here does hurt your wallet a bit but I mean its around the same price as sushi for dinner. I mean, its not AYCE but I definitely come out completely full and satisfied. And honestly seafood is generally expensive anyway.
