    Cheese pasta
    Steve S.

    Service - 5 stars Food - 3.5 stars Value - 3 stars Overall - 3.8 stars Overall, the food was good. Shrimp was plump, and snow crab legs were good. However, when we ordered another set of legs, the meat inside was barely half full. It was ridiculous for $54. I showed it to the waiter and he replaced it. The replacement were better in condition, but it got me thinking, how did they know the replacements would be more full of meat? Does that mean they gave us cheap legs first to see if it would pass? And what did they do with the legs that they took back? This almost made me give 3 stars. Anyways, the sauce was pretty much a literal cup of butter and a whole cup of diced garlic. This is why everyone on the reviews is saying it was hot. If you like garlic, this is your place. It will leave your mouth and burp, smelling like garlic for at least 24 hours. The pasta with the sauce is awesome. So after we ate everything, we took whatever was left in the bag with us to-go. A couple of nights later, we boiled some more pasta, threw in the sauce, and it was amazing. You may want to take out some garlic, lol. Overall, it is pricey for the amount of legs you get. The place is small and was empty on a Sunday night. We were the only table most of the dinner. Maybe there is a reason? Or maybe not... For me, it's worth another try.

    Small, dry and sad.

    I wish there was a way to give them no stars. They got me. I ordered lobster rolls to go. And didn't look at them. And didn't open them until I was too far away to make a difference. This is by far the biggest rip off of a lobster roll that I have ever had. I paid $30 for a lobster roll with nothing else. And this is how sad it looks. He said it was a whole lobster, there's no way. Beyond disappointed. Completely ripped off. I wanted to go back and try the seafood boil. But now you've just turned away a great customer.

    Couple's combo

    I was SOOO upset when The Boiling pot closed down..then this place opened up and I went for the first time as soon as they opened on a Saturday afternoon. I couldn't be more excited and the it's totally worth the hype. Since it was my first time, I obviously wanted to try EVERYTHING but my husband and I settled for the Couples package which is just enough for two people. The selection of crawfish, shrimp, clams, and mussels along with corn, potatoes, and sausages was MORE than enough. It comes with a side of garlic butter pasta and sweet potato fries which was freaking amazing. We had the boil in the original garlic butter sauce but got a side of lemon pepper sauce on the side. We also ordered some non-alcoholic drinks which was fire so I can't even imagine how good their actual alcoholic beverages would be. You get a pair of gloves and an apron - if you're messy like me, you'll need it. The portion was more than generous and the seafood were actual normal sizes. Like the shrimp were the teeny tiny ones and the clams and mussels were all cooked where the shells opened so you're not getting gypped. If you're a seafood lover, I HIGHLY recommend this place. I wish I can come back every week, but this obviously isn't a Wendy's with their dollar menu. Will def come back soon!!

    Sooo good. The food and flavor was excellent. I got the friends combo and I'm impressed with the options and what came inside it. I think the serving was slightly on the small side and I couldn't believe the amount for some of the items that were a pound, but I did like that the friends combo came with the crab legs. The Cajun sauce was sooo good. There was so much garlic which I liked and the spice definitely had a kick to it. The sides are not worth it in my opinion. The serving felt small.

    I think this may actually be my new favorite seafood boil spot! My friends and I ordered the combo for 3 people with everything (sweet chili) sauce, the peach lychee ade, and the lime lychee ade. The set came with SO MUCH FOOD (snow crab, shrimp, mussels, clams, sausages, corn, garlic noodles, and sweet potato fries). It was more than enough for the three of us.

    Couple Combo - mild original Cajun sauce
    Jane C.

    I came with my parents and we ordered the couple combo (original Cajun sauce, mild), but it was more than enough for the three of us. I didn't find the sauce to be too spicy, but it does have some kick to it. Just a warning, if you have high blood pressure and/or are on a low sodium diet, don't come here. Or at least don't get the original cajun sauce- I don't know how salty the other sauces are. The sausage was also super salty. The potatoes and corn offered a nice break from the sodium though. I liked that there was a good amount of the different types of seafood. The clams were very chewy, almost too chewy, but at least I didn't bite into any sand so I know they were thoroughly cleaned. I haven't been to the other seafood boil places in the area so I can't compare, but I think this place is worth trying at least once. Make sure you redeem your free slush drink on Yelp :)

    This was for 6 people

    Was excited to hear about a new seafood boil place in town. Never can have too many, right? This place was pretty good! I went with a group of 6 and every single one of us walked out full and happy (some also left with souvenirs of fiery and puffy lips). ***In a rush? Skip to the end for my tips.*** For the seafood boil, we ordered: -the couple combo as Cajun spicy with clams, crawfish, shrimp, with an added lobster (came with garlic cheese noodles) -Combo C as garlic butter spicy  with shrimp and mussels (came with garlic cheese noodles) -an order of mussels as garlic butter mild They should have given a warning that the spicy was pretty damn spicy. I added a picture that shows what happened to my friend while he was eating the spicy level. If you like spicy, it is a good, yummy spiciness, but if you can't handle heat, it will make your meal pretty miserable. A few people in my group couldn't eat after 1-2 pieces because the spiciness continuously lingered and grew in their mouths. We had to order a mild version for them. So, if you have a low tolerance for spice, I suggest ordering mild. I am terrified to try the extreme level. What I liked about the seafood boil: -The mussels here are so delicious! I usually don't like mussels because of the chewiness or stringiness of it, but the mussels here were tender, clean, and so fresh. -I am a fan of spice, so I enjoyed the spicy level, and ended up with Botoxed lips after I was done. -The sausages that came in the Couple Combo were yummy. -Their garlic cheese noodles were good and help cut down on the spiciness. What I wasn't a fan of about the seafood boil: -The garlic butter sauce was good at first, but it had a hint of sweetness, which I didn't like too much. -Their crawfish were mushy. Usually the shells should be bright and firm, but they all felt and tasted like they were cooked for a very long time. We also ordered the following: -Vongole Pasta - delicious and was very light and not greasy -Fried Calamari - OMG, this is a must! Most tender calamari I've ever had. Breading is a bit different from the usual breading and it was yummy! -Lobster Mac and Cheese - It was okay. Wouldn't get it again if I went again. -Peach Lychee Ade - This is a must, too! It was so good! -Korean Sweet Pancake w. Ice Cream - It was eh. Wouldn't suggest it unless you really like Korean sweet pancakes. -Chocolate Chip Waffle w. Ice Cream - This was really good and we were fighting over this. I wish they had more choices for desserts or maybe more ice cream flavors, which would be a nice way to cool down from all the spicy food. Ooh, maybe banana splits?! I really wanted to try their crab cakes that they labeled as the "best crab cake ever," but they said they were sold out. Will definitely try them next time. Service was friendly, but it was hard to get the attention of the servers at times. Maybe because it was their lunch time or they were understaffed? So, hopefully you're not in a rush when eating here. I would definitely come back again for their mussels and calamari. Tips: -There is private parking, which is in the plaza where Meat Bros and BCD Tofu are located. You should park by Meat Bros and you'll have to walk around the building or through a small walkway to get to the front door of the restaurant, which is on the other side of Meat Bros. -There is a hospitality fee of 20% for groups of 5 or more. -At seafood boils, I always ask for extra gloves ahead of time because there's still some sauce that gets in the gloves. -Please, please remember to be kind to your friends with low spice tolerance or kids and order the mild for them. They need their own separate seafood boil order.

    Wowww I can't believe how good this place was. We ordered 3 boils in different combinations, truffle fries, a bowl of rice, hot tea, 2 sodas, Mac and cheese and garlic noodles. I didn't get to take a picture of everything cuz my hands had too much sauce. Garlic butter 4/5 Sweet chili 5/5 the best SPICY sweet chili EVER Cajun sauce 4/5 Theres free parking in the back. You'd have to walk past Chase, then you'll see where this place is. They really need a sign by the street but this place is worth it. We paid around 120 for 4 people which isn't bad considering how much we ordered. If you are more of a spicy palette, these seafood boils will satisfy.

    Great spot for some seafood boil and quenching your seafood craving. First off, they had the most delicious oysters I have ever had. The owner said they are. It on the menu because they are difficult to get but when they are available...run don't walk! My table had various things on the menu including the fried shrimp, crab legs, oyster and Cajun pasta. I ended up adding sausage to my Cajun shrimp pasta to give it a little more depth. Although the sausage was a great addition I did feel the flavor lacked a bit in seasoning , especially for a Cajun dish. Once I added some of the spicy garlic from my cousin's seafood boil bag, it made it more flavorful. The owner provides very attentive and hospitable services, greeting all those in the dining room and interacting with everyone so pleasantly and genuinely. I also love the decor. Modern, hip, eclectic and rustic in one.

    We wanted to eat crabs like maryland blue crabs without the seasoning but can't find anything like that. So we decided to check this place out since we've never been Service is great! Everyone was friendly and waiter was patient with us cus we didn't know what we wanted. We kept changing our mind and ended up getting the snow crab 8 not 10 (2 cluster) and shrimp head off combo. We also got a side of garlic cheese butter noodles with no cheese. This is usually for one person so we ordered the fried calamari later just in case. We were stuffed and ended up taking the extra calamari home. Anyway... noodles came with cheese so waiter changed it for us. We weren't going to say anything cus it's not a big deal and we told him it's okay but he changed it. Def shows how good service is :) anyway... garlic noodles weren't as good at capt loui. Seasoning was good but super heavy. It is butter and it tastes good but gets too heavy later. The corn tasted like butter and it was sooooo good but meal overall felt too heavy and I felt gross after. Def need beer or sparkling water to help. Spice level- spicy. It leaves the mouth hot and spicy and I enjoyed the spice level.

    Family Combo+Black Mussels. Also requested additional Snow Crab. Lobster was not in the photo.

    My family loves seafood. We came here because a close friend recommended the place. And boy, we're glad we tried the place. We started with a crab cake, fried calamari and fried shrimp. We went through all of it in minutes. They were sooo goood.. And then we ordered the Family Combo with additional snow crab and black mussels. It was all worth it. You can tell they were fresh. The lobster was amazing. We forgot to ask the gentleman's name who helped us with the food. But he's so nice! Service was fast, although we went on a weekday afternoon. We will definitely be back, and I would recommend the place to anyone who loves seafood. Every $$ is worth it.

    Saw this New Place that Popped Up in Fort Lee. You can park in the back parking lot and will need to walk to Main Street for the entrance. We decided to try Dancing Camaron for lunch. We started with drinks we had Agave Honey Lemonade. Very tasty not too sweet just the right amount of Fresh squeezed lemon juice, with the right balance of Agave Honey. Appetizer. we had the Fried Calamari. Yummm.... Very light batter seasoned with sea salt Entrees. Lobster Roll. Warmed: Connecticut style And Crab Cake over a vegetable cream sauce. Both Entrees was delicious. They do not offer a lunch menu. The menu is all day! We will be back for dinner to try the Seafood Boil and their Drink Menu which looked delicious as well. Staff very friendly and patient. As we wasn't able to decide what to order All very attentive.

    this place is terrible! worst seafood boil i've ever had, from the food to the service to the…read moreambience it fails all around. the seafood is low quality and seems old? we ordered snow crab legs and the meat was so shrunken and flavorless that i felt like i was cracking open empty shells the whole time. i ordered the cajun flavor at a level 3 and it was a watery mess, barely delivering any flavor or heat. completely missing actual garlic it tasted like they dumped spices in water instead of butter, so none of the sauce clung to the crab meat. our waitress was very nice but we were the only people dining in the restaurant at the time and about 15 minutes after my husband and I received our food she came by to tell us they didn't have enough crab legs for the remaining 2 orders at our table. I wish she had told us this sooner, as we had to place a new order for my in-laws while we were almost done with our own food. strange that they were out of snow crab legs and dungeness crab so early in the evening and with so few customers. also the restaurant is freezing cold, dingy, and dark, which adds to the over all unpleasant dining experience. definitely skip this place!

The lobster and clams were overcooked and came out rubbery. The sauce was bland, no depth or kick to it at all. Was really hoping for better, but it just didn't live up to the hype for me.
