I really wanted to be impressed by this place.  I wanted the food to be as advertised and reminiscent of food at seafood places and crabshacks in places like Charleston and Wrightsville Beach.  It did not come close to meeting that mark.\n\nFirst, the atmosphere is definitely as beachy as it can be a in a neighborhood like Dilworth.  The roof is a nice place to sit on a comfortable fall day.  The service was also very good from the almost completely female staff.\n\nWe started out with she crab soup, a rarity inland.  It was more of a bisque with too much crabmeat and also a piece of a shell.  It was okay, but definitely not what I have gotten from any place at the beach - and I also have never had a shell in my she crab soup.\n\nThe menu is also a little limited, although they have \"chalkboard specials\" such as flounder.  The seafood platters are severely lacking, and the menu seems to offer more of a southwest twist on seafood than anything else.  Homemade guacamole is not a staple of the beach.  The blackened mahi mahi tacos were ok, but the fish lacked seasoning and there was not enough of the fish.  The Mexican coleslaw was probably the highlight.  The beans and rice were okay but the beans tasted like they were from a can.  The coconut shrimp (an appetizer) were okay, but slightly over-fried.\n\nI  would patronize this place again if they made their menu look a little more like this:\n\nhttp://www.hymanseafood.com/files/file/Hymans_Seafood_Menu.pdf\n\nI know Hyman's is not the best seafood in Chucktown, but I am using the menu as an example.  A place just cannot advertise itself as seafood and a beach restaurant but highlight tacos and guac more than anything else and expect to survive - especially not in this revolving restaurant.
