"The fish selection is extensive, with different types of fish, clams, oysters, and shrimp available. They also sell all the essentials like crab picking knives, oyster shucking knives, plastic knives, mallets, hot sauces, and seasonings—pretty much everything you could need. I ordered small male crabs and Raspberry Point oysters. The crabs were seasoned perfectly, packed with sweet meat and plenty of mustard. The oysters were outstanding—very salty, but in a delightful way. They even provided a roll of paper for the table and threw in an extra oyster, which was a nice touch. I can't wait to come back and see what else I can try!"

"We stopped in for a quick late-lunch snack. We chose to sit outside because the weather was so nice even though that meant being subjected to the traffic noise of Rt 1. We were seated immediately. We decided to just order the nachos with steak. Shortly after ordering the waiter also delivered a large basket of chips and salsa with some kind delicious Mexican crema dipping sauce. I'm pretty picky about my chips and these ones did not disappoint. We requested the nachos to hold the bell peppers with the onion on the side. The nachos arrived exactly as requested. There was a nice helping of steak strips and other toppings and everything was very fresh. The nachos had a type of queso on them rather than traditional melted cheese which made them much easier to eat without pulling half the toppings off. It was a quick, small meal but we'll be back for more!"

"I drive past this restaurant all the time so I decided to drop by for a quick meal on a Sunday afternoon. I was super impressed with the decor and aesthetic it was vibrant, fun, and modern. It is composed of a large open air area that has a bar and dining room separated by a railing. On one end of the bar, there's is a private dining area with a beautiful accent wall made up of foliage. There is also a private dining room that can be closed off with floor to ceiling glass doors. This is definitely a restaurant that has the space to cater to private events in a fun and intimate setting. They also have an outdoor patio with beautiful murals brightening up the space. There was live music scheduled for later in the day which I wish I was able to stay and see. A great pull back feature for guests to be interested in another visit. The food was also good, I was impressed at how quickly the food came out. The appetizers came out within 10 15 min of ordering and our mains dishes were not far behind after that. I'm always sad when chips and salsa are an extra charge. I wish we got the guacamole starter because they make it right in front of you (as we saw another table get that). The plating was a bit messy for our taquitos appetizer but it was all eaten so quickly we hardly noticed. On my burrito, there was a drizzle of some type of crema, it tasted like a glorified Mayo which was a bit disappointing, so I used the leftover salsa and sour cream from our chips starter as the extra sauce needed for the burrito. Service was friendly and attentive. I ordered a piña colada which was absolutely delectable. The food and drinks are on the pricier side for the area but it was well worth it because it was tasty food served up to us. Overall, I would come back on another summer day to sit outside, listen to live music, and order some craft cocktails with their appetizers for a chill night out."

"We recently (Sunday, April 28) had dinner at Acapella in Fallston. We had not been there in a while and were looking forward to it. We arrived at 8 PM and there was 1 table taken. We sat at the bar, ordered drinks and dinner, and chatted with the owner a bit. We had the Lasagna (above average) and the Bolognese (mediocre). It was when the bill came that things got interesting. There were 4 items on the bill. The two $8 per glass Chardonnay appeared on our bill at $11 each. The Server mumbled something about a “mistake.” While she was fixing that “mistake” I checked the prices of our entrees. We were overcharged for BOTH of them as well. I did not know the price of the 4th item, so I accepted it as is. I asked to see the Owner and was told he had left. She called him and he called her back quickly. He chose not to speak to me and she didn’t even relay an “I’m Sorry.” Seems like a whole lot of “mistakes” for 4 items in an empty restaurant. The Moral – CHECK YOUR BILL IF YOU GO THERE."

"I’m going to have to make this two-hour drive every week just for these crabs! They were large, heavy, and packed with meat. I got full off of just five or six of them. The crabs were big and tasted incredible—absolutely no complaints! The prices are great, and the value is even better. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend it to others. I just hope they’re as good the next time I visit. So far, I’m in love with them! They were so delicious that I forgot to take pictures of the inside like I usually do. I'm already looking forward to my next trip!"
