    This was our first time at the Des Plaines location. It is more casual and lively than the one in Wheeling, but the food and service were excellent. We also frequent the Fish Market where the fish is always fresh and ready to take home to prepare. Kudos all around!

    Server was not attentive. Too pricey, even for the fish and good quality. Someone needs to evaluate the price of the food over the quantity and find the right balance.

    Wonderful food. Great selection. Outstanding service. It was noisy so don’t expect a quiet candlelight dinner. And expect to pay. But you get what you pay for.

    Some of the freshest and tastiest seafood you can get anywhere at a very good value for the quality. This location isn’t as organized as their Wheeling location. The server was overwhelmed with tables and it took him 50 minutes to get our bar drinks to the table and then take our food order. We were comped one meal and a dessert for our inconvenience so I’ll give them one more try.

    Used to love coming a few years back. Price point and ambiance really don't match up. Service was not pased, meaning it was so quickly served. Delivering a quaility experience should mean more than turning tables. Most dissapointing was the $25 corkage fee.
