There are five love languages. We added gumbo. ❤️
Especially when it's made from scratch, loaded with shrimp, andouille sausage, and rich Cajun flavor.
And because every good love story deserves a supporting character, we're giving our gumbo a drinking buddy. 🍺

There's a whole lot of love in a good bowl of gumbo.
Ours is made from scratch, loaded with shrimp, andouille sausage, and the kind of rich Cajun flavor that keeps you coming back for another spoonful.
We thought our gumbo could use a drinking buddy. 🍺
So this National Gumbo Day, we're pairing it with a cold draft b**r for a pretty good Monday deal.

National Taco Day calls for the whole lineup. 🌮
Serafin’s Hand-Rolled Fish Tacos - the Fish City Grill original, hand-rolled and grilled.
Honey-Chipotle Shrimp Tacos - sweet heat, shrimp, avocado & plenty of flavor.
And from the October Chalkboard: Seared Tuna Tacos with avocado smash, avocado ranch & charred pico.
Three tacos. Three completely different takes. The hard part is deciding where to start.

Taking care of the people who take care of our community. ❤️
Our Katy team had the pleasure of catering teacher in-service for Stanley Elementary School. We hope a good lunch made a busy day of planning and preparation just a little better.
Thank you to the teachers and staff at Stanley Elementary for everything you do for Katy!

SUNDAY, NO SCORE REQUIRED. Oysters. Martinis. Good company. There's more than one way to do Sunday.

Fresh fish doesn’t just show up at our back door.
It gets here through relationships with trusted seafood partners, fishermen and fishing communities who help us know where our seafood is coming from and get great fish into our kitchens.
That’s where our story starts.
For October, our kitchen is turning it into Seared Tuna Tacos, Shrimp & Scallop Piccata Pasta and Blackened Barramundi with Blue Cheese Butter.
Three completely different dishes, all beginning the same way: with seafood we’re proud to serve.
They’re on the chalkboard all October!

🦪 Meet the Mystic Mermaid. She’s kind of a big deal around here.
Raised in the waters of Nantucket Sound off Cape Cod, our proprietary Mystic Mermaid oysters have a bold brine up front with a sweet finish. And you’ll only find them here.
Fresh-shucked, distinctive, and very much worth getting to know. 🧜♀️
Come taste what makes a Mystic Mermaid special.

The calendar says Labor Day weekend.
The margaritas say summer isn't quite finished with us yet.

Four-day weekend ahead.
We can't tell you what to do with all that extra time, but we can point you toward a cold margarita and a very good plate of seafood.
The margaritas are cold. The seafood is handled. Bring your friends.🍹
