Upbeat music with the delectable smell coming from the kitchen paired with amazing service and awesome energy , charisma , and personality from our server John. I definitely recommend the shaken crab to any seafood lovers and anyone looking for a great place to take your significant other out for a great time

This would be my second time here and boy do I regret coming around. Service is slow, only had one check in my entire hour there. Food is overpriced taste like crazy crab seafood to me, and lastly this place got me puking my brains out. I have the chills, sweaty, and nausea, with puking on the side as well. I definitely got food poisoning from this place, they’re better seafood joints!! Avoid this place

The experience at this establishment was nothing short of a disaster. The server’s behavior was utterly bizarre and unnerving. As soon as we were seated, he approached our table and simply stared at us, as if he had never interacted with another human being before. This uncomfortable silence dragged on until he finally blurted out, "What are we having?"—a blunt and unprofessional question that lacked even the basic courtesy of asking if we'd like drinks or appetizers.It then took him an astonishing 15 minutes to open a simple bottle of Heineken and bring us sodas, despite the restaurant being nearly empty. Only two other patrons were present, lounging at the bar, seemingly the sole focus of the staff’s attention. The place was staffed by several other employees, yet none of them appeared interested in providing any semblance of service. The staff’s blatant disregard for our presence and their pathetic attempts to impress the barflies made our dining experience feel like an afterthought.In summary, this restaurant epitomizes incompetence and indifference. The service was excruciatingly slow, the staff was inattentive and unprofessional, and the overall atmosphere was tainted by a palpable sense of neglect. Avoid this place at all costs if you value your time and sanity.

Went here for crab legs and shrimp boil. Place was kept clean and staff were nice. It was very quiet on a Saturday afternoon. Food came out really quick and was really good and flavorful. There is no parking, since its located on Thayer street, and you have to do a few loops for street parking.

Parking: You have to look for street parking.
