Impeccable services. Amazing ambience. Delicious food. Great drinks. Would recommend to EVERYONE!! We had the lobster, shrimp, and grits, lobster rolls, Malik oysters, crab cake, and spicy crab dip...every.single.crumble.was.gone. Shout out to are fabulously fine host Jerry for holding the entire outside section down but still maintained attention to detail.
This is a great spot in the South Bay center area by Dorchester. Atmosphere is great, drinks are good and the food is good too. The music is great too with a live DJ there. Really enjoyed our time here and will be back again with more friends. The place fills up fast and is a bit small if the patio isn't open but I can't wait to check this place out again over the summer. This spot is great for POC and we need to support more places like this.
We visited this black owned establishment on Friday, July 29, 2022. I made a reservation prior to online for 8:15 PM. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by the hostess and seated immediately. Shortly after being seated, our server Min came over and introduced himself. He informed us we could use the QR code menu on the table to access available food and drink items. At the beginning of the night it was a more chilled/relaxed vibe and they were playing nice R&B music. The business is clean, modern, and had a laid back ambiance that became progressively more rowdy as the night went on. We ordered the following menu items: strawberry lemon drop, the pearl potion, chargrilled lobster, Malik’s chargrilled oysters, blackened shrimp, warm lobster roll with truffle fries, and crispy calamari. I will preface by saying, my mom tried to order the asparagus and the clam chowder before she finally had to settle on the blackened shrimp because they were out of both items! Our drinks came out shortl
