Got Shrimp? Yes, yes they do. And then so much more! Our group got the sampler and the fried pickles. The hush puppies are amazing! We ordered Scampi, Stuffed Shrimp, Salmon, Ribs and Shrimp and then some sides of mashed potatoes and of course key lime pie for dessert! The chocolate chip cookie dessert and the Lemon Berry were also great. Most of all, our reservation was prompt and our server Katy was just amazing- the entire staff was very attentive and when it was time to Run Forrest Run they sure did! Katy was one of the best servers we experienced in all of NYC, and we come to the city A LOT! Personable, Kind-hearted, smiling- got every single part of our order right and always came by to check on us with a smile. She did stump us on some trivia - and we have to say that the quality of the food was really amazing. They place was hopping busy and yet everything was perfection. The staff really did a great job and we look forward to going back. Thank you Katy for making our day extra special we appreciate how you did not rush us and really made us feel like we were the only table there when the place was packed full on a Saturday evening in a rainy NYC. Bravo!!!!!

Spezielles Ambiente, Service gut. Leider war es so kalt im Restaurant, dass wir alle gefroren haben und jeder im Restaurant mit der Winterjacke essen musste. Wir haben der Restaurantleitung dies gemeldet, jedoch konnten sie nichts machen. Denke sie hatten mit der Lüftung Probleme, dass sie nicht heizen und es wie in einer Gefriertruhe war. Schade.

Old memories turned downhill reality. Sad portion. Sad soggy fries. Sad tough onion ring. Shrimp “tempura” batter far too oily. The Cajun seasoning for the steamed shrimp and the fried shrimp still taste good. Steamed broccoli is green and decent. Service is friendly but really slow and not attentive enough even out of peak hour.

Sigue siendo un sitio de repetir en NY. Algunas cosas deben mejorarse, pues a pesar de que tienen muchos empleados, la atención ya no es la misma. Sus rostros no reflejan la alegría de tenerte como cliente. La comida es buena, pero la presentación ha empeorado.

Restaurant pour touristes, typique à Times Square. Nous étions une famille de 4 et avons été placés du côté de la salle ou se trouvait des groupes d'écoles.. soit une cinquantaine d'enfants... j'ai eu l'impression d'être à la cantine. Ajouter à cela la musique. .. impossible de discuter. Je ne comprends pas, d'autant que l'autre côté de la salle avait des tables disponibles et c'était beaucoup plus calme et plus agréable. Il serait correct d'éviter ce type de placement incompréhensible et très désagréable pour un dîner. Repas correct et addition 140 USD à 3 (plat et boissons).

It was a crazy day in NY, but we waited 45 minutes for a table past our reservation time. That said, once we were seated the food and service were really great. The three stars on service was only because of the wait time.

We (2 males) asked for a booth instead of the table tucked right next to the party of 6 in town for St. Patrick’s day. (Drunks) We were told the area wasn’t open. Two minutes later they sat a single person in the booth we asked for and then 5 minutes later they sat a couple in the booth next to that booth. Dips were all frozen or obviously in the walk in for too long. Eh.

Food was good but service was non-existent! Had no idea who our server actually was! As a LSC member, beyond disappointed. Once the manager found out we were LSC members through our check, he came over and offered us a free Strawberry Shortcake on the house. Promised he would be attentive to us for the rest of our meal. The irony when the shortcake came out 15 minutes later with melted ice cream because it had been sitting in the kitchen waiting for our “waiter” to pick it up! Would not recommend!

Family of 7 after Sunday matinee, with reservation. Too long a wait for someone to come over to table. Drink order wrong. App order never put in. Food undercooked. Second drink order wrong. $15 souvenir glass put on bill without asking. So many places to choose to eat. Wish we had skipped this one.
