Long Time No Sea - Manassas

Tried this place for the 1st time today and the only good thing was that the restaurant was clean nicely decorated. Ordered the spring rolls onion rings as appetizers. The spring rolls were lukewarm onion rings were super greasy AND they both arrived on PAPER PLATES!! With this being a semi- upscale seafood restaurant, I would expect ACTUAL dinnerware. Secondly, I ordered the fried catfish basket that was just ok. My mom ordered the fried oysters which she loved. I would strongly recommend providing your customers with HOT food; not lukewarm most importantly, use actual dinnerware. I would only expect paper or styrofoam if I ordered carry out but we actually dined in. I also noticed that we were the only customers which should have been an indication. You only have 1 time to make a first impression; you guys missed the mark.

This seafood restaurant was highly recommended. The service and ambience were superb. Our server Emily was very professional, amicable, and made sure all our needs were met. The seafood: crabs shrimp were excellent. My favorite foods were the hushpuppies calamari. I have not had fresh seafood for so many years, so this place was very nice to eat at and enjoy fresh seafood.

Food was absolutely terrible. The sauce was just oil with seasoning didn’t even seem like they boil their seafood with the actual seasoning. Everything was bland. They tried to say they only season the top so the inside is plan which I can understand but if the sauce is disgusting and my food is supposed to soak it up then that also defeats the purpose. I asked them to remake it all they did was add whole bunch of garlic but the sauce still tasted old and gross. I’m from maryland So i know good seafood. nothing taste fresh not even the corn all had this weird nasty aftertaste. The manager tried to make excuses on why it’s bad instead of checking the food then said oh they didn’t season anything it’s just oil but even with the remake it was just as bad. They gave us 50% off the food which was nice but very unfortunate since this place looked nice. now i know why it was literally empty the entire time we were there. these reviews must be fake

We absoluetly loved the all u can eat. I highly recommend all seafood lovers to stop by at least once a week. so yummy and great service.

After reading such great reviews online we decided to go today for lunch with our friends. The restaurant is decorated very nice but was very empty for a Sunday. There were only 2 waitresses working. Emily was very friendly and a very good waitress. The other one was very short when answering questions and pretty rude. I ordered some soup New England Clam Chowder. It was very runny and not good flavor. I ordered the crab legs and mussels in a boil bag. The crab legs were good but the mussels tasted like some type of chemicals were put on them. I could only eat 2 of them, they were nasty. My husband said the shrimp were good but was not impressed with the Dungeness crab legs. Was really hoping this place would have been better. Very nice inside but that doesn't matter if your food and service is poor.
