Food was excellent and it was a great experience. They provide some gloves and an apron for your meal and it creates a fun type of experience to eat with your hands like this. We ordered the tray "deep ocean" which came with two lobster tails, two clusters of crabs, a ton of shrimp, two corns, and some potatoes.

Although expensive, it was well worth it. The Cajun seasoning was excellent and flavorful. However, I do agree with some of the other reviews...
It took the staff forever to even take our order and for the food to come out. We ended up arriving around 6:30 and leaving around 9 because we received our food at 8:30. The food was good but the service was mid. I often give places grace but people who arrived after us left BEFORE us.
Alisson made us feel so welcomed. She explained the menu and helped us order enough for all 3 of us to enjoy. We had the Cajun boil and it was delicious. We added mussels to the order. The food was worth every penny. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for delicious seafood.
