Lil Baby opened his new restaurant, The Seafood Menu Restaurant and Lounge, in collaboration with Chad Dillon, a restaurant designer. The restaurant, which focuses on a mix of seafood delicacies and hip-hop culture that pays homage to Atlanta culture, appeared to have a stellar opening, with sold-out seats and a performance from the singer and entrepreneur himself.
However, a recent review video by a self-proclaimed seafood lover has surfaced, which counters the positive reviews. In the video, the reviewer shows a half-cut fish and claims that the restaurant only gave her four shrimps instead of the six she paid for.
The reviews have sparked some hilarity among netizens who reacted to the video, as seen in the post below:

The restaurant itself has responded to the negative reviews, releasing a general press statement stating:
"Seafood Menu greatly appreciates all feedback, regardless of its nature, as it contributes to the continuous improvement of our customer service. We recently became aware of a video circulating on social media, which appears to depict a to-go order from our opening day. However, we are unable to verify the timing of the video in relation to the food order".
The restuarant continued:
“It’s worth noting that our opening day saw an impressive turnout of over 2,000 patrons, with nearly 99% of reviews being positive. While we regret not having the chance to directly address this concern, we remain dedicated to enhancing our services and serving our underserved community to the best of our ability."
