The Seafood Academy of Columbia

Just ate at The Seafood Academy and it was just delicious, The staff was perfect, could not have asked for anything better.

The staff was very nice and friendly. The food and ambience leave much to be desired. The seafood options are pretty limited, and the menu doesn't seem to have much continuity (you can find things from Greek Salad to Shrimp Fried Rice). The dishes are way overpriced for the presentation and atmosphere. There is no kids menu. The prices are McCormick & Schmick's, yet the food is reminiscent of Captain D's. I ordered the crab cakes appetizer which were too greasy, served in a glass bowl with no trimmings and were more like croquettes. The fried catfish nuggets were unseasoned, fried with the skin on, and were noticeably the scrap cuts of catfish. Even the orange soda was flat. The french fries were good and well seasoned. I would like to see this business make changes and succeed, but I likely will not be returning under the current circumstances.

Very nice and clean place to visit and bring the family..not a very large menu but what is on the menu is reasonably priced and the staff is more than hospitable.
