It has better cooked and a greater variety of fish than many other restaurants which are more expensive and in classier locations. The whole grilled flounder is excellent. Jon

I must note however that I am basing this on my experiences in San Antonio. If anyone has something to say about the one here in Austin, I'd like to hear it. James

People seem to block out chinese and some other ethnic options when discussing fish and seafood. I cant remember the exact dish name , but they make this one fish in a way that ranks it among my favorite fishes.
