The food can be real, but quite messy to eat without the necessary/proper tool for crab or lobster… this works by the sea, but not really in the suburbs. If ever we go back, we should order a plate of ready to eat food & not'boils'.
Staff is nice, but that's it!
1st time going with my daughter this evening. It was our 1st seafood boil experience. Ordered the crab mix bucket with the seau de crab sauce. Loved it. I always pass by the location saying I should try it out. Next time I will be back with the whole family. Great service also!

Been to this location a few times, never disappoints! Seafood is fresh, the sauces are flavourful, service is attentive & friendly. One of the few places where the cravings have me coming back, which I have. If you want flavour, freshness & quality, one of the best seafood/boil experiences I've had on the island to date. Highly recommend!
Overall this is a family friendly & affordable seafood restaurant that specializes in sea food boils. Food is average, & service is somewhat lacking (no water refill, or extra napkins) & bathrooms are not properly stocked or clean. If you're looking for a higher quality sea food, & dining experience I would go somewhere else.

Delicious! Not our first seafood boil, & the seau de crabe signature sauce was the best we tried. Seau de crab mix was the perfect size for 2. Great service by Marwan & the decor is also super cute! Will definitely recommend.
It's not my first time in this location but this one is our go-to restaurant. Food is the best. If you crave for seafood, this is the perfect place for you. & the service is amazing. They have the best people here. It's perfect for celebrations too. They have the space to accommodate enough people for birthday celebrations or if you are a large group of people that looking for a place to eat. But I do believe that to see is to believe that's why you have to go & check out this place & experience all this & thank me later. :) btw they made my birthday extra special. First time to receive that kind of treatment from a restaurant. Anyways, even without this, I would still go back no matter what. It's just my go-to seafood boil place. What else can I say ;)
great seafood boil to satisfy seafood boil cravings! it's not out of this world amazing but quite tasty & just spicy enough! just wish that there was more sauce! service: waiter was great, waitress was kinda cheap though (barely gave us any napkins every time we asked for some lol) mojitos tasted like juice though, so probably watered down
Great service, timing was okay for the food. Didn't give it 5 stars because the seafood boil sauce is either to spicy or not spicy at all. If you go for mild the food has absolutely no flavour. Only way to get that succulent flavour is by going spicy but then it's also too spicy. I liked eating in though. The waiter was nice & professional. I would highly recommend the dynamite shrimps & the calamari.

So happy I finally tried this place!! Since we were three, we decided to split the "seau de crab mix". We got cooked potatoes, boilled corn, the mild seau de crab sauce & we replaced the mussels with more shrimp. Everything was amazing! The crab meat was very difficult to get out though. Normally it is $75.80 but because we divided the price, it was $25.30 so I recommend going as 3. I think that if another person was eating, we wouldn't have been satisfied with the amount that was given. We ordered on our phones & it came within 15 minutes!! I loved the service. I will definitely be coming back to try other things.
