The food is always delicious but the prices are far too high to go back. Never spent as much as we have here at any other restaurant before and we eat out a lot. Try not to sit in the side room as it echos and is extremely noisy.

Fun seafood restaurant

Do not get the king crab leg or snow crab clusters. $20 for 2 legs that were almost dry inside and $40 for 4 legs is kind of insane. This is our first time trying it and for the amount of money you pay the place atmosphere is like a run down dinner. There is no service, they take your order, drop it off at your table and you will never see them again. Then you go and pay the tab at the register. For the price, you might expect a nicer place and service but it might be worth it for someone. I would not do that again. This ticket is for 2 people.

Sensational experience. I don’t even like seafood and this is the best seafood I’ve had in my life. Truly a once in a life time experience. Must try before you die!

We arrived around 9 pm in a Friday and it was a popular place which showed that it must be a historical landmark in the downtown area of Chico. The service was helpful and perfect timing on sitting arrangements. The atmosphere inspired me we were very pleased. Family fun.

Seasoning on the food is amazing. Crab was ok. The rest of it shrimp, sausage, corn potatoes again amazing. Place is not the most presentable but is clean and homey.

Food is good! But they cheat you out of your portion of food.

Went for the first time. It was valentines day. My wife I decided to enjoy a lovely evening. Was busy but was worth the wait. Highly recommend to try if you havent.

Waited awhile to get seated on a night that wasnt busy at all, they later apologized and made up for it with the food.

Supper slow need more staff. If you plan on eating here eat before leaving your house. By the time you get served you will be hungry again.

This has become one of my favorite spots in town, their house sauce is AMAZING and the best part is that you get to go feral on some delicious shellfish and make as much of a mess as you want all over the parchment paper covered table. DO NOT dress in your nicest clothes for this!! Highly reccommend getting the Dungeness crab clusters, mussels, and corn on the cob

I know it's a seafood place but it didn't smell good when walking in and the atmosphere was dingy. Not spicy at all so ignore the spice levels. I thought the flavor would be more robust and actually cajun. It's trying to be a crabpot like restaurant that seattle does so well. Wetwipes would have been nice. It wasn't terrible but not thrilled. I wouldn't go back. I guess go for the experience cuz why not?

Food was so good and our hostess was so funny. Would definitely recommend coming here. We recommend the muscles, shrimp, crab legs and potatoes and corn in mild sauce.
