Vicky and the staff are amazing.. the service is top notch and the food is absolutely delicious.. the atmosphere is quiet with a nice bar and plenty of plants to look at as well as the art work lol.. I would suggest this to any seafood lovers.

The experience was different with the food being cooked in a plastic bag, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.

Great food, great staff. I have never had a bad meal from here.

Had the seafood boil. Only fair. Shrimp, lobster, and snow crab were not fresh and clearly frozen. Not terrible but not great. Excellent atmosphere and service though.

i get the seafood boil bags everytime i come and its delicious and priced well. the atmosphere is friendly and the family who runs the restaurant is lovely.

we got cajun edamame and fried softshell crab with our bags this time and it was so good!

Been here many times, the owners are sweet and will often give recommendations that make the meal that much better. Portions are large, me and my friends usually split the happy family combos.

I wanted seafood so bad and despite others reviews I decided to try and allow my own experience be the judge. The service was great I was greeted in friendly manner as soon as I entered. I ordered a mango margarita and it was really good. Before leaving i sampled the food because I wasn’t finished the large margarita, and instantly I loved the meaty lobster tails with the Cajun sauce. My son loved the shrimp poboy.

I’ll definitely return again and again!!!

I wish more people was there, but the owner and her staff made the atmosphere extremely welcoming.

When did two clusters become a pound? I know that it’s crab season but this is unacceptable. I was just in another state where the crab-legs were 2x as big and a pound for about the same price was four clusters. It’s too much competition out here for this place to be dishing out less food. I bet it was weighed with ice which isn’t fair either. Considering taking my $$ somewhere else!!!!

We got the King Crab Leg which was very tasty and much easier to eat than most crab, though it is 70 bucks.
The shrimp, scallops, and mussels were all great
The eggs, potatoes and corn were nice too
The Cajun spicy sauce was good!

We got a mango mai tai and lychee martini and also like both

Will definitely come again!
