“I am so glad we tried this restaurant. We will definitely come back with others. The food was fresh and so delicious. I am a huge fan of seafood, they offer many options and different preparations. We had the Escondido special with crab, lobster, and shrimp. It came with corn, potatoes and sausage. They also have a good selection of drinks, and local beer. The prices are very reasonable.”

“New place to try near our area. Staff sit us right away. They were friendly and attentive. Our drinks were filled right away. Service was quick and everything was hot. We ordered the Trio Especial it is a lot for 3 people so we took home the left over. We chose the lemon butter and Cajun for the sauce. Love that they name their drinks after locations in Escondido. They have happy hour until 7pm. They have other Asian inspired dishes on the menu so if you don’t like seafood there are other options. We would be back again with friends and families.”
