On vacay and we decided we wanted seafood so stopped by to give it a try. We ordered the spicy garlic shrimp and king crab with no mess shrimp (shrimp peeled/headless). You can add different sauces to the boil and different heat levels to each sauce. We chose the Karai special sauce, habanero spicy and added some corn on the cob. The meal was really good, and although it was habanero, it wasn't really spicy. The garlic shrimp was very good. I would recommend this for all you shrimp lovers for sure. Corn wasn't really sweet and seemed like all the flavor came from the sauce. We also ordered a couple drinks. I really wanted to try the chocolatini. I absolutely love chocolate! Well as you can see in the picture, the glass came half full and tasted very little of chocolate. I was extremely disappointed, so I sent it back and settled for water. Was not sure what my friend ordered but she drank it & advised it wasn't what she expected either. I would skip the alcohol if I came back. Other than the drinks, everything else was good. It is pricey but was an experience. The staff was really attentive and helpful with the ordering process and explaining things.
Note: Only parking we found nearby we did have to pay, but it was around $2.50 for like 1.5 hrs so it wasn't expensive at all.

Treated myself after working Thanksgiving, only to be disgusted and disappointed when I got home to find rotten dungeness crab. When I called, they refunded me, but doesnt make up for being served spoiled food. I wouldnt trust the quality of food here.

Service is always great, staff is highly attentive. We often order the Kraken and I love the seasoning! Food is delicious but sometimes it feels too buttery and the food tastes lukewarm. Nevertheless, garlic noodles never disappoints!

Calamari was awesome. Cioppino was the best that I ever had (including San Francisco)

We ordered one of the seafood boil combo and it was bland. It’s just buttery with not much flavor. However, the staff seems very helpful and welcoming.

hmm..
It's okay and you can try it, but I don't think it's worth going and eating twice.
