Best flounder almondine I've ever had. My scallops were rubbery and the shrimp were too. My wife's crab legs were excellent...TWO POUNDS!! I can't rate them on a usual basis as tropical storm Ida was a few hours away. more

ATe there for lunch. We had eaten at DeSotos for dinner on our last trip. Restaurant itself is nothing special. Food was good. I had fried shrimp - portions were small. French fries are homemade. Bread loaves to start the meal were a nice touch. Ordered bread pudding to go. I came with two sauces, one of which was a... more
