It was busy when we arrived so we were okay that we waited quite a bit for our food. We ordered the Dungeness crab and a mix. Everything was fine until I saw that half of the crab was raw (only the legs were fine). Mussels were dry and overcooked. The server was amazing and apologetic but we only received a 10% discount on our meal. We got the sense that management didn’t believe us after they mentioned the yellow guts was normal; disregarding the fact that the meat was translucent. I would be very careful when ordering crab from them (please check the body of the crab). Overall, I don’t believe we will come back to this establishment.

Amazing good food. We ordered shrimp, mussels, crawfish, fried-rice and calamari. Everything was great. Our server Mathew was very friendly and great. Love this place.

The lobster was not cooked, they even forgot to place my order and I had to wait another 30 minutes for a poorly cooked meal. Disappointed!

Worst place to eat! We ordered by phone and waited 45 minutes as requested. Upon arriving, the gentleman informed us that they hadn’t recorded the order, so nothing was prepared. I had to reorder a second time and wait a long while for food that wasn’t properly cooked (lobster and crab), which gave us stomachaches. Furthermore, there were no other dishes available. The customer service was disorganized, and the place was very dirty. Unfortunately, I spent too much money only to end up throwing it away.

Just finished our late afternoon lunch on a nice sunny Saturday afternoon. We had the shrimp option. The shrimps were huge, delicious and the sauces were very tasty ( mild and medium hot). The seafood fried rice was AMAZING. If you get the combo called “Matey” it easily feeds two people - my son and I couldn’t finish all the shrimps and my sons a teen and a BIG eater. We’re bringing some home.Our waiter, Matthew, was a real gem. Very friendly and a knowledgeable about the food. Provided excellent service and with a lot of great personality.Would highly recommend this restaurant. Lots of fun and heart, fresh delicious seafood.Best,Mike McL.

Eat with your hands eat on the table! Haha great experience. Food is worth it. It can be a bit pricey if want the higher end stuff. It's like a protein buffet with sides... Definitely recommend the dine in experience!
