Editorial Review for Dantons Gulf Coast Seafood Kitchen – by Andrea Loera
In Short
This relaxed Chelsea Market seafood restaurant in the Montrose/Museum District area is adorned with family photos and area coastal maps. The food focuses on fresh local seafood and the signature garlic remoulade sauce of chef/owner Dan Nix, who cut his restaurant teeth in some of the area's most successful seafood spots. Menu standouts include smoky gumbos, stuffed flounder, shrimp Creole and sandwiches such as slow-cooked pot roast with Swiss. Fried shrimp, fresh-shucked Gulf Coast oysters, po'boys and crab dishes shore up the Cajun offerings.

I've been here 3 times total, and most of the stuff we've had has been really good. Have had oysters (both on the half shell and the Oysters Kyle, I think they call their special), shrimp creole, crawfish, and many sides. All were good. The gumbo is okay, but I think there are a lot of variations of gumbo and everyone has their own spin on it. I think the only thing they could improve on is their dessert menu, which seems a bit limited.
Pros: Good food, good service
Cons: Limited dessert menu

Very nice upscale atmosphere, with super attentive staff. We had 2 waiters (one was a trainee) and they were both friendly and helpful. Ordered the gumbo, stuffed jalapenos, and the debris sandwich. The gumbo was very good. Really dark and rich, but a bit overpriced around $10 a bowl. The stuffed jalapenos (cheese and crab) were tasty and came with a nice remoulade, but the cheese overwhelmed the crab. I would skip these and go for crab fingers or something similar. The debris sandwich was fantastic! It was a bargain at $8.95. I understand they have a soup and sandwich plate. 1/2 debris and 1/2 gumbo, awesome combo. You have your choice of sides with the sandwich, and I chose poorly. The french fries were subpar, but I wasn't there for the fries. I was surprised they did not have potato salad, since that really goes with gumbo.
Pros: Great food, service, and atmosphere
Cons: a little overpriced
