Came on a Saturday about 6:30 and were seated promptly for 5. The place reopened in this new…read morelocation about a year ago so still looks great and new. Love the concept of open windows however in front of it is a parking lot. Food included steak and crabcake, oysters, and fish and chips which they are known for. 5/5 on the fish and chips, and the oysters were out of this world - tasted fresh, lightly fried to perfection. The steak and crab cake was more 4/5 - not a complainer, but when the steak came out well done rather than medium well, I did say something. So I could eat with the party, just sent the steak back, and to my surprise they did not come back with just a steak but a whole replacement meal which I had the next day. Between that and attentiveness to drink refills and knowledgable recommendations, the service was 5/5. The overall rating reflects the excellent service and very good food, while also taking the price point into consideration. With prices continuing to rise, patrons expect exceptional flavor across the board for those extra dollars. There were a few areas where I felt the food could have delivered just a little more, so I'm not quite at 5 stars yet.

We've had plenty of bad experiences with Chinese buffet seafood making us feel sick--pretty sure I'm not the only one--but that has never happened here. The food is always freshly steamed and served hot when you order. I'm not a big fan of overly salty, heavy American-style seasoning, so I really appreciate that they can prepare it without all that. Also, my daughter doesn't eat much seafood, but they're flexible and let us order something simple like a mozzarella stick for her, which is a huge plus. Yes, there's an 18% gratuity for parties of 5 or more, but it feels fair for the quality and service. The gumbo you can order on the side is amazing, and the crab legs, mussels, clams, and shrimp are all fresh and delicious. It's $58.99 per person, which isn't cheap, but definitely worth it. Highly recommend.

We started with the hush puppies, sweet potato fries and chicken wings. All were perfectly fried and tasty. The hush puppies were the highlight. Then we moved onto our seafood. We got a huge platter of snow crab legs, a lobster tail, shrimp and mussels. The seafood came out piping hot and cooked well. I wish the seafood had a bit more seasoning and less chunks of garlic. But, overall enjoyed it! They give you gloves and a bib so you can dig in without worrying getting too messy. One special thing they have on the menu is their ramen side. I've never seen this at other crab boils. The ramen is so tasty in the garlic butter sauce. It was my favorite part and I kept going back for more! We ordered another platter of seafood and were stuffed! The service can be improved. Our waitress came by a few times but not enough to get refills on our drinks or other things we needed. But, overall a good experience.

I believe this place is open till 2 AM which is probably why as a night progressed it got way more crowded. The service: The waiter, I forgot his name I'm sorry, was super sweet and very insensitive. The food: We ordered so many things on the food menu, but the absolute star of the show was the Ramen. The broth was the best I've ever had and I still think about it two weeks later lol it is beef flavored based and it had the perfect amount of ingredients. If you want to add beef to it, it is extra. Everything honestly was pretty good so I have no bad reviews, but the Ramen was definitely the queen of a show
