Well prepared and nicely presented. Bloomfield bag almost too much for one person. Music selection not the greatest for a restaurant.

Justin, the supposing manager was rude and nasty closing down when they choose to because they want to get out at 8:30 and refusing to take orders when asked who was above him. He told me the owner and it was none of my business I would never speak to him.

I have been to this location a few times and the more I come, the worse it gets. My order was ruined once again and I may not ever go back. They are not reading the orders. Instead, you will get whatever they want you to have from the back. Greatly disappointed.

Was served refried food crumbs. Complained and was given another meal that was small in portions some parts of the meal was lukewarm and the rest was cold. Terrible Service. After the second complaint, the so called Manager and the Cashier walk in the back of the store and never returned.

I ordered 2 pick your own bags to share with my family of 5 - our kids were so excited to try the snow crab. My husband and I started to try to open up the legs, but they were flabby and quite hard to crack. When we could manage to get some open, inside was barren, dehydrated meat at best. I practically had to beg to get the owner on the phone, asked for a refund, and was told it would only be made right if I brought the food back. Now, it’s 7 o’clock on a school night for my oldest In Kindergarten so I’m not driving to return it, as I’m preoccupied trying to find out what to feed everyone while out $100. Wouldn’t recommend.

The worst place EVER!!! Not worth the money. I asked for my refund & I hope by tmr I get it. If not I’ll be seeing Justin… This place is ridiculous… They need to make the bags healthier .. My bag was all air with no potatoes in it Smdfh. My bag literally had one piece of potato and 3 corn ? and one lobster tail the lobster was small & dried . Unbelievable!!!!

Ordered to-go on Sbowl Sunday the take-out server Bri was great and helpful. Scallops were fine, everything else was subpar at best. Most of our seafood was overcooked, not fresh tasting, possibly pre-cooked partially. Lobster meat was tough and stuck to the inside of the shell, crabs were tough, shrimp were firm, not easy to peel. Even the sausage was blegh. Some of the potatoes were obviously rotted/black, I don't see how they missed that. The melted butter (more like oil) container was so full to the brim it spilled even when opened carefully. Paid $117 for what was supposed to be 60+40+tax. I called 24 hours later to be scorned by the manager for not calling sooner. He offered no remedy but will contact the owner and get back to me. Will follow up...Over a week later, never heard back from manager Justin. I called him he said the owner said to offer me a free order of shrimp. I'll never go back and I advise others not to bother.

Female had a whole attitude with that messed up eyelash . The crabs legs were skinny. U don’t get much for what u paid for . Packed u up with a whole bunch of shrimp and potatoes lol. Waste of money, would not go back. Seasoning was sitting at the bottom with a mass oil on top. ? I woukd not recommend this place to anyone else

Placed huge order on DoorDash , no one was home !Only a Woke seafood company could be closed on a Friday during Lent .

Opened the establishment late, in pajamas. When I asked them a few questions they were replied with snide remarks and a rude attitude. Food did not come out hot.

Deciding to do family dinner is one thing... however, everyone agreeing on what to eat is a totally different obstacle. Thankfully you say SEAFOOD and everyone is instantly on the same page. As a result we ended up @ Chosen 1, a clean fast casual spot, offering seafood options of both boils and fried dishes. A party of six, half ordered boils and the other half ordered fried dishes. Everyone with boils ordered the Bloomfield Bags. This bag included 1lb shrimp, snow crab legs, boiled egg, corn, and potatoes. Two of us also added mussels to our bags. "Team Boils" were pleased and we all had ample food left, that we took to go. However, "Team Fried" were all disappointed. The orders were Fried Calamari, Fried Clam Strips, and Fish all include fries. The consensus was bland, unseasoned, heavily breaded and chewy with excess oil. They were not happy and barely ate any of their fried dishes, and only picked at the french fries. This was a definitely a 50/50 experience literally. They do boils better than they fry. Just A Note: No actual table service available. You order and pay and then when ready your food is brought to your table. Nonetheless the young lady at the register was extremely pleasant.

Order take out here tonight. Fish and chips and bowl of clam chowder. I ordered Cajun fries and they were well seasoned and not too thin and I like fries like that. They gave a lot of fries but the portion size of fish was small. The breading on fish was well seasoned The clam chowder was very creamy. The food was good but pricey for what they gave. The fish and chips did not come with anything either like cole slaw etc.

A pathetic version of a "lobster roll" for $25.. Not only was it miniature it barely had any taste. Save your money and go elsewhere.

I ordered the lobster roll for $25 and onion rings. My husband ordered the fish and chips. The lobster roll was pathetic. Barely any lobster and what lobster there was, was dried out, tiny pieces with no flavor. It looked like I got last week's leftover lobster. Almost inedible, very disappointing. The onion rings were actually good, beer battered and easy to bit into, the onion was well cooked and didn't pull out of the coating. But I didn't come for the onion rings! The fried fish was average, very hot, but not sure what type of fish it was. It wasn't typical white fish, had the skin left on. Not very tasty. The Cajun fries were very good. So I guess if you are looking for good onion rings and fries, you'll be fine.
