I wish this was better!! We were really looking forward to trying this place as it is soooo popular. Service was so nice but unfortunately I don't think the food was too fresh…. Crab wasn't breaking cleanly & we were sick the next day. Would recommend other seafood boil place

Great seafood restaurant! Everything was very tasty & fresh, the portions were generous, & the presentation was nice. The atmosphere is cozy, & the staff are friendly & attentive - you really feel welcomed.
The only small downside was the cellophane gloves; it would be much more comfortable if they offered gloves like those used in burger restaurants.
Overall, a great experience. I'll definitely come back & recommend this place to others!

Absolutely phenomenal! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The staff was incredibly attentive & knowledgeable, guiding us through a menu filled with fresh & exquisite seafood options. Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor & beautifully presented. The oysters were the freshest we've ever had, & the lobster was cooked to perfection. To top it off, the dessert was divine. This restaurant is a must-visit for any seafood lover. We can't wait to return!

If it's not because of they put too much lemon juice inside the dish, then please use the fresh minced garlic instead of the bottled one. I just can't enjoy having this much sour taste.
