The Helm Seafood Parlour

I really enjoyed my time at The Helm Seafood Parlour. The pork chop was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the beef tartare—with tenderloin, charred leek gremolata, and smoked oyster aioli—stood out as something truly special. Everything tasted great and was beautifully presented, which made the whole experience even better. I was a little disappointed they don’t have draft beer, but the Hazy IPA from Marker 48 in a can was actually very good. I’d definitely come back.

Lil late lunch stop for us on a girls trip weekend! Wanna first give a huge shoutout to our waitress Anna Kate! She was immediately such a huge light and joy into our day and we had some amazing conversation with her right off the bat. She was able to give us some awesome recommendations on food, work around allergies, and even encouraged us to try some new seafood we’ve never had. The hospitality and welcoming atmosphere was top notch! Let’s talk about the food, amazing, absolutely 10/10! We both had the Blind Pass burger with lobster top and parm fries, absolutely to die for. Also had their incredible espresso martini, which i’m a huge connoisseur of and it was nothing short of a top martini i’ve had. They have a sweet little goodbye touch at the end of your experience (but i’ll save that for you all to find out when you go)… We will absolutely be back if we ever find ourselves in the area again, highly impressed❤️

Anna Kate was our server, and she did an excellent job. You found a great new team member with her, her fourth day on the job, thought she was a long time team member! Her service was impeccable! Onto the food! This restaurant is a bright shiny star in the land of restaurants that only serve bar food! What we had, beef tartare, really excellent! I rarely eat this out. As an accomplished chef, I only eat this when I make it. It was fresh and delicious! I did not care for the aoli, my own personal preference! Bread served with the tartare was hard! It's as if Anna Kate read my mind, and without asking, placed a plate of fresh, lightly toasted bread on the table, superb! We also had the special benny of the day. Perfectly poached eggs on French toast with maple syrup and hollandaise sauce, apples and pecans and pork belly, sprinkled with pecans, delicious! Served with a side of pineapple coleslaw. Slaw was not mayo drenched! Yay! This restaurant chef knows how to chef! A diverse menu, small and done right! I believe there were 6 different types of oysters offered too. Those are for another day! Dessert was super spectacular too, sour orange pie, just amazing! The restaurant is so wonderfully decorated too! With care! Four stars, because the napkins smelled bad. Try a new linen service and softer napkins. And there were no paper towels in the bathroom. We'll definitely be back! Keep up the good job!

My family absolutely loved this place! Very elevated experience from the service, flavor of food, and overall atmosphere. Starting off strong with Chap being our server and crushing it at his job. Not a single thing was asked for, when he notices something was off or needed adjustments it was already taken care of before anyone at our table realized. The food was actually so good it made us all sit back and just sat “wow!”. The cinnamon roll had the perfect amount of sweetness. My entrée was the special for this season and it was incredible. I will 100% be back for next season’s menu whenever that comes out!

My husband and I had a wonderful lunch here. We were in town visiting for a few days and this was my favorite meal, by far. Started off with the tavern cornbread- SO good!!! And I had the lobster grilled cheese which was amazing! Our server was super nice and the vibe of the place is cute. Great attention to detail. Loved it and can’t wait to come back.
