Finally got a chance to try Ocean Star Seafood Co. (1420 Marketplace Drive). I’m not much of a seafood or sushi person, but my wife is – and I figured there would be something on the menu for me. The service was very good, and the atmosphere was pretty cool.
Here are photos of the dishes we ordered as part of the “all you can eat” option.
Some sort of sushi, I think:
Mussels?
Fried wontons, perhaps?
Fried fish, which I did try – it was too breaded and bland, unfortunately.
Clam chowder – pretty good:
This is the part I liked – steak nuggets!
And the absolute highlight for me was seeing the robo-waiter in action! Here it is bringing a birthday drink to a customer:
The building previously hosted the Macaroni Grill, which opened in 2008. For some reason, I never tried it.
The owners switched it to the Moonshine Grill/Shoot The Moon in late 2012.
The Moonshine Grill closed in late 2015. That was sad – wife and I really enjoyed it – nice atmosphere, good food – my wife really liked their catfish.
In 2018, it became Black Bear Diner, which closed in 2023. We ate there a couple of times – fun decor, but the food was kind of average.
