In the old La Casita location.

That is a great location IMO for a place from them with a seafood theme. I am pumped.

quote:

A new restaurant taking shape on Oak Street will have a wide array of Gulf seafood, wines and cocktails to match both the selection and the season, and, because Marcus Jacobs and Caitlin Carney are at the helm, a dash of Vietnamese fish sauce and chili butter for good measure.

Seafood Sally’s is now slated to open in early spring at 8400 Oak St., in the former home of La Casita.


quote:

The menu will be arranged by the fin fish and seasonal shellfish on hand that day, alongside a variety of preparations available for them.

For the boiled seafood, one of those options will be a coating of chili butter, based on the popular Viet-Cajun style of boiled seafood.

There will be a raw bar, and oysters on the half shell will hit the grill too. Shrimp cocktail, crabcakes and crab claws will start things off. Wednesdays will bring all-you-can-eat boiled crabs.

Spot is something of restaurant graveyard it seems to me.

I wish them well, though. I like Marjies and the fact that they can make THAT location work for them would probably indicate they could make this one do so.

hence my next words, for them.

They have a following and I think a lot of people don't go to Marjie's more regularly because of the shite location. This is easy to get to, park, and there is nothing like it nearby.

I know. I generally agreed with you. Just thought the "great location" was funny given that goofy spot. As we both basically stated, if they can make their current shite location work, they should be able to do so at this one.

There doesn't seem to be any real reason that spot HAS to be a restaurant graveyard It just seems to be saddled with that notion, though, for whatever reason.

Seems pretty brave to be opening a new restaurant during this time.

Love Marjies. I hope that they can find success in this new restaurant, given that (as others above have mentioned) the location has had a lot of turnover.

Why, on God's green earth, would anyone open a restaurant right now? Seems like just putting it all on black or red has better odds.

I'd be there for hours. Partially because of how much, but more because I'm notoriously slow at picking crabs.

The fried chicken with ranch dipping sauce at Marjies is unbelievable
