The owner here honored pricing that was different and was so kind to my daughter and I. The waitress was kind and thoughtful and made our visit extra special. I'm grateful for the kindness shown to us and the time and effort spent helping us. They truly care about the food, the customer service and the overall experience. I will come here everytime we come to San Jose. I wouldn't go anywhere else.Also this was a delicious Michelada! I'd totally come just for the Michelada.The food!!!! It was so good and I literally am stuffed, so much food that I couldn't eat it all. The house sauce was fire! Spicy but good heat. Can't say enough good things about the place.Picture is the leftovers I am taking home- the rest was eaten up.

My partner decided to take a stab at this place for our new restaurant fridays... and I'd have to say the place did not disappoint.We arrived at 4pm, an hour after opening. Parking was easy and right in front. Once we walked in we were greeted by a pair of young ladies and brought to the booth. The place was LARGE, I only wish I took the time to take a photo, but it had slipped my mind. Everything was new and clean just as you'd expect from a restaurant that opened a week before.Menus were paper and disposable, so you know there weren't any dirty hands prior.We had ordered 1 lb of shrimp, house sauce, mild. The shrimp was plump and not shriveled like the other some other boil spots. Tasty and not too spicy, sometimes mild can get a hella spicy.In addition, we ordered a whole dungeness crab, garlic butter, no spice. Man, was the head delicious, I think that's how you can tell the crab is fresh if the fats in the body/head are sweet and doesn't smell like a sewer. Though it seemed a little overcooked, it wasn't so much to ruin my experience.Lastly we ordered a dozen oysters, sweet and good, only wish they had horseradish.Unlimited soda is always great.Service from Breanna was attentive as well, she checked on us every 5 minutes or so to see if we need anything.I'd have to give the place 5 stars, nothing ruined my dining experience.As your first choice for dinner, give this place a try.

I was quite impressed with the size shrimp they offered and it was deep fried to Golden perfection! The lemon pepper fries are pretty damn good. They're catfish and Fries was delicious. Will definitely return for happy hour and try other dishes!

They changed their name as “After bar and grill…” so it took us a while to find the restaurant. The food is like other Cajun restaurants. They won’t provide crab cracker unless you asked for it. They have a big bank at night from 9pm, very loud, with more than 10 people.

Not going to lie, I was skeptical coming here but I am so happy we did.We ordered 2 pounds snow crab, 1 pound shrimp and 1 pound mussels. The seafood was so fresh and HUGE. I would definitely be back to try the other seafood. The sauce was comparable to other Asian Cajun seafood place. The service could have been better but it was fine
