Everything was fresh and cooked to order. They are very flexible on substitutions and special requests as my gf has a shellfish allergy. They prepared all of our fish and sushi on a shellfish-free surface. I had the wahoo piccata style and we had two sushi rolls. Will return many more times.

I was in a group of 6 people and we each ordered something different. Everyone pronounced their selection to be delicious. Some of the favorites were crab cakes, shrimp po'boy, fried grouper, red beans & rice, and oyster po'boy. Personally I have a condition that doesn't allow me to eat spicy food so my selection was limited but the crab cakes, any of their fried dishes and several other things don't contain any spicy ingredients. I wound up ordering the grilled chicken alfredo fettucine and was not sorry - it was quite good. Their bread pudding was also deemed really good. The place is casual and the waiters are extremely helpful and friendly. Be prepared to wait for the fresh food you'll be served. They offer inside and outside dining.

We were there to celebrate. The restaurant is nice and looks nice both inside and outside. We were seated promptly. And drinks were provided promptly as well.My nephew was disappointed as he orders San Pellegrino for most celebrations and they bring him a glass along with the rest of the liter bottle for him to enjoy for the evening. He was miffed when he simply received a glass of âsparkling waterâ or club soda as it was referenced upon arrival to his dismay.We order the calamari as a starter and it was tender and pretty good. My nephew did like it. I liked it; however I do like to taste the peppers with it for my flavor and the peppers were lightly crusted and fried to which took some flavor out to me. We then had a Caesar and house salad respectively and I can say that the hose salad was delicious and the best thing I ate on this evening. It was fresh with the lightest, tastiest dressing with wonderful veggies.A couple of us had the scallops and shrimp skewers and nephew had the filet. The filet got top reviews as he said âit is so freaking goodâ. The scallops were over cooked and not tender on two plates; the shrimp was better. However, we did expect more after reading so many good reviews.We had dessert too which was bread pudding and the lemon lava cake and consensus was they were ok. They were both heavy breaded and they both lacked the sinfulness you want when you get dessert. I quickly thought âI will save a few calories tonightâ lol.The last thing was my sister paid and she was not happy when the servers and everyone stopping at table would look at her brother for approval. They did not speak to the table but the one who they assumed was paying. And she was not happy. And I must admit it was odd.Well after reading all the great reviews, our experience left was a little hollow.Choices!

Oceanâs ambiance is superb, service fantastic, location ideal, wine list impressive. my adult daughter, who was raised in oyster producing community, said: â..Oceanâs oyster bienvile was the best oyster she has ever eatenâ. halibut is usually prepared with consistency like steak; Oceanâs was soft & flaky, like a knife cutting through butter.

Convivial chain dishing up hearty portions of New Orleans-style seafood, steaks, salads & more.

My family and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The atmosphere was great. The servers were well informed. The fresh fish entrees were fabulous. The baked oyster sampler was a treat. I enjoy The Fish Market in Birmingham, but I think Pappadeaux is a step above. It will definitely be my go to place for seafood when visiting BHM.
