Jessica had the Shrimp and Grits:

 

Which was entirely too spicy – even for her.  Tasted good, though.  This is an unpopular opinion, I know, but I really don’t get people using loads of hot spice and bell peppers and then spending lots of money on expensive ingredients like shrimp or crabmeat.  Since the taste of such delicate things are so utterly masked in that kind of preparation, why not just use surimi?  

 

As aways, every body, including their taste buds = different. Personally heat from chile does not interfere with my appreciation of sweet seafood. It is not like someone threw a bucket of paint on a beautiful painting. I knoiw asking about heat levels can be a non starter as again it is the server's opinion. Have you had any luck asking for a taste prior to order - just a tsp on a saucer?
