    1 lb. Snow Crab Legs with 1 lb. Crawfish
    Debra E.

    I traditionally have lobster on my birthday but also craved a seafood boil. My family and I stopped in last week to celebrate, we made a reservation but it honestly wasn't needed. We sat quickly and there were still seats available. My mom and I each had frozen daiquiris and boyfriend had a Sapporo. Service was OK but the food really delivered. I had 1 lb snow crab and 1 lb crawfish. My mom and boyfriend had lobsters. They estimated the size to be 1.5 lbs. I had mine mild with seasoning, theirs was mild. I had a lot of crawfish. The food was not overcooked. They shared some of the lobster with me. It was delicious and meaty. The waitresses were super kind and friendly to my toddler. He tries to befriend everyone he meets. The meal and drinks were about $200 with tip!

    Great food

    Great food. The shrimp and oysters were excellent and the sauce is on point. Very friendly staff too, great people. Very nice to have this place in Jackson Heights and will definitely be coming back!

    Lobster Roll

    4/5 lobster roll $22- always so good, wish it didn't contain celery tho, wish the fries weren't so spicy, I can never have more than 1

    Whole lobster and 1lb shrimp (in bowl), 1lb shrimp (in aluminum takeout container), French fries

    Ordered takeout here on a Friday night through their website. The staff was very helpful when I called asking if they accepted credit card (they do) when ordering through their website (as the option online was just cash). I was surprised to see how empty the place was for dine-in but that just made my takeout order available faster. Would come back for dine-in, the store was dimly lit with warm reddish orange light and it looked like the perfect ambiance for a nice boil dinner with parties of 4. For takeout experience, the boils were contained in big and clear plastic bags, held securely with the aluminum foil container bases. It was securely packed so that the sauces didn't drip. I ordered the combo of lobster/shrimp with a mild oceanic boil sauce, 1 lb of shrimp with garlic butter, onion rings, and fries. The boil came with corn and potatoes. The onion rings came with a small container of bbq sauce. The fries came with spicy mayo. In comparison of the sauces, the oceanic boil sauce was flavorful compared to the garlic butter. The garlic butter is aromatic but lacked the flavor punches you get from the oceanic boil sauce. Highly recommend the oceanic boil sauce if you're looking for a signature sauce experience.

    I come here so often, bring new groups of friends & post about them on social media that 1) I should be sponsored and/or 2) get free meals here. I wanted to order the cajun gumbo last night but after seeing a review of someone saying it was bland, I didn't want to try it anymore. Anyways if you see this owner, feel free to reach out to me with your thoughts!

    Came here without a reservation and got seated after a 45 min wait. Wish that the water wasn't served in a red solo cup for the price we're paying. Food was really good though. We got a combo and an additional 2 pounds of crab legs in their signature sauce. Soooo good, especially when you dip the potatoes in the extra sauce. Also got a side of Mac and cheese & garlic bread. Garlic bread was delicious and paired well with the seafood. Outside of the gloves being too big for our hands, everything was great and fresh. Would come again!

    Great way to start the New Year off right .This restaurant is very casual with the seating and they accept Apple Pay and Google pay .They've got a decently priced drink menu (recommended) as well as a lot of delicious appetizers to choose from (like seriously why was the Mac and cheese so good ?!?!) .The service is nice they seat you down give you the paper plate and cup makes sense to have paper and plastic items because that seafood boil sauce will stain as well as gloves and a bib .Me and my partner also had tried the fried calamari as well as just the crab legs combo boil with shrimp that we split (he's not into seafood boils but we share one ) .Just keep in mind the seasoning is a bit salty so next time I'd get the sauce on the side instead of in the boil bag .

    The garlic noodles here are SO good - I would order it on its own AND they're good when reheated too. The weekly special was grilled mussels with the seafood boil sauce and it was def worth grabbing for the table. The crab legs are good here, not rubbery! The flavors for the seafood boil aren't that spicy and could use more depth but it's a good spot if you're having a seafood boil craving. They also provide bibs and gloves if you don't want to eat directly with your hands.

    Ate here today for dinner after work as a substitute paraprofessional at P.S. 398 Q. I had ordered both the lobster roll and 8 pieces of raw oysters that it tasted really good and delicious. The service there was also attentive, quite good, fast and pleasant. I couldn't agree more. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :)

    Lobster Boil Shrimp Boil

    Came here on a Sunday Afternoon, Ambiance is very relaxed and chill, Good atmosphere and decent customer service. I ordered the Lobster and shrimp boil combo. The lobster was okay 7.5/10, however the shrimp was not clean or deveined. Every bite of shrimp had an intestinal lining track. Onion rings were okay, the boiled potatoes were way too big! Damn near cut in half instead of 1/4 size pieces which are easier to cut. Overall this establishment can do way better to become a number.1 contender seafood restaurant in the area.

    Come on down and meet the staff friendly people I love it food is awesome drinks are spectacular. Vine is awesome we k ow it's cold but the menu will warm you up cheers.

    We ordered... Fried Calamari 1 lb. Shrimp (sauce: Garlic Butter + Lemon Pepper) 1 lb. Shrimp (sauce: Oceanic Boil) French Fries (not pictured) White Rice Great place for seafood!! Food was served hot, fresh and full of flavor. But...get ready for a big mess! We ordered their shrimp, which you can get head on or off. It was very tasty and filling! The calamari was nicely seasoned and also came with Cajun fries. Their fries are also so crunchy. While it can get a bit messy, put on your bib and gloves and dig in

    French Fries
    Elvi T.

    The best I've had in NYC area! Got a pound of crawfish with their oceanic boil sauce and the spicy level isnt too intense. The crawfish were big and meaty, and they threw in potato and corn into it too! Note that it's $19 a pound which is at least $5 more than what you get in the west coast or Texas. Delicious fries too. We did their promo of the week which was 6 oysters + fries for $15.

I had two of the Remy Style martini which were so fresh, delicious and fruity. The pineapple syrup in here definitely hit without it being too sweet. I saw that they had some small bites here but we were headed elsewhere for dinner. A solid spot to catch up with a friend or to impress a date, for sure. I really hope that this place sticks around!
