The only edible items in my seafood boil was the shrimp. The crab? not worth $70 per lb. The crawfish was extremely fishy and the poop wasn’t removed. The seasoning was incredibly bland and added no extra flavor at all. I would not recommend this place. The workers are nice but I think it’s worth the automatic 20% service fee added to your bill.

Crab legs were good. Sauce was tasty and sufficiently spicy. Crawfish however were not good at all, mushy and overcooked unfortunately. They were very quick with getting my order prepared though which was a plus.

Added a 20% gratuity with no warnings, as well as a 3% credit card fee, also without warning. This was back when they first implemented it and it wasn't on the menu or anything, I don't know if it is now. The food was not fresh and service was very minimal. It was very scammy and they refused to make it right.

I'll preface this with: I have never had a seafood boil before, but I am very familiar with good seafood.
I found the options overwhelming due to the restrictions of the predetermined packages, with no happy middle option. The smallest seafood boil option was $40, and it's only available for lunch. That is the only time you can get half pound options as well. We ended up splitting the 5lb boil and shared it between 3 people. The base price foe this was $112 and we ended up with a $160 bill after tax. We still ended up with a cheaper bill than our friends who each got a Kayak (over $200 in the end)
The shrimp with heads and crayfish with all the innerds was a rough sight, especially once things cooled down a bit, and the heads became squishy mush. We didn't end up eating much of them. The black mussels were good while the clams were gritty.
The flavor was fine, nothing to write home about.
It is overpriced, in my opinion, without adequate customization options for your boil.
Any place that places a mandatory 20% gratuity to help "compensate their workers" isn't paying enough. That's probably why there was only one girl running the place while struggling to keep up with demand.

Little pricey but food is good and was able to take some leftovers home with me. So worth it!

They stayed open a little later because we were late to our scheduled dinner time, and we were grateful! We got the Pacific Northwest seafood boil, and it was a pretty hefty price ($400), but so good! We( 4 of us) were so full and had plenty of leftovers. I wish the menu showed the price, though! Still will be coming back!

It was a fun experience. The parking meters are super expensive here now.

The seafood was fresh but the seasonings bland no flavor and the seasonings it did have did not taste good. Also had beef boil the meat was hard and tasted terrible again thank god we had ordered chicken strips probably the only good part and that says a lot . Also They charge 20% service charge so I thought service was going to be excellent but it was really bad they didn’t check on us hardly and even after we got our food they didn’t check to see if we needed anything. The bathrooms were pretty bad no toilet paper and dirty. I wouldn’t ever come here again . Btw I spent $213 .

I eat seafood boil regularly, and I can say that this place is mid. The prices are fine, but they charge a 20% service charge for dine in??? Even for a table of 3. The quality is not bad, but not bad is something you should not strive to be.

Finally found a solid seafood boil in Seattle. The flavors were good enough to do the job but we’ve had better.
It’s on the pricey side too. The mandatory 20% service charge can rub you the wrong way when the service is basic. (We’ve been here twice and the first time the service was non-existent.)

Over priced and food was average at best.
There's a 20% service charge for dine in. Food was pretty good. Price was a little questionable for leaving still hungry.

My family and I would come here regularly! We absolutely loved it. Most recently, not so much, sadly. They got a whole new staff and it does not compare to the old staff. The customer service makes or breaks a place, with this new staff, it definitely breaks it. We’ve gone 3x since new staffing, hoping we’d see familiar faces. The old staff made you feel like family. They were personable, funny, welcoming, inviting, made it to where you didn’t want to leave or made it to where you wanted to come back asap! We took the family for Christmas and spent over $600, the servers were short in conversation and even had us bag up our own food. The food was still delicious but we noticed the serving sizes were a lot smaller and the potatoes were about the size of a dime. All in all, it’s still great food, just missing the atmosphere and family vibes. Not sure if it’s new management.

Went for restaurant week. I'm glad I only spent 38 dollars. Not worth it.
Have come back several times, way better!

I don't know if this was an off day for the restaurant.. bc I've definitely had better there. The shrimp was breaking apart from being way too mushy, and there were black spots on the shells (never seen this before). Also, we found wrapping paper in our seafood boil ??? I wish I was lying. I thought it was a potato peel but it was legit a palm sized paper.
