    So good!

    This is our favorite seafood restaurant. The seafood is fresh, the proprietary Raisin' Cajun flavoring is tasty, and the portions are generous and filling. If you enjoy a bag full of deliciousness, this is the place to go.

    This is looking good!

    Got influenced by Instagram to check this place out. We got the raising crave bucket which we later found out to be $240.... We were offered complementary Cajun fries which were undercooked, not very fresh and had little to no seasoning. The lobster was overcooked and chewy which was very disappointing. The sauce was okay nothing worth coming back for and lacked some seasoning. Restrooms were disgusting each stall in the women's bathroom was unkept and gross. They don't have the sinks like claws or kickin crab to wash your hands at you have to go into the bathroom. There's only one server that was tending to 4 other tables and occasionally checked in. Overall not that great of an experience

    We asked to see a live crawfish wtf is this!?

    Don't let them convince you they have live crawfish because they don't. We asked multiple times over the phone and in restaurant and our server assured us it was live. After eating, it was clear the crawfish was frozen. When asked to see a live crawfish from the kitchen to confirm it was live as they said, they further proved our point when we were brought a frozen crawfish in a cup. All our server could say was "This is what the kitchen gave me" and couldn't explain why we were lied to. Don't recommend the false advertisement and unprofessionalism.

    Delicious seafood boil. First time, we ordered a big boil for like $250. It was so yummy. We seasoned it with their seasoning they recommended. King crab legs, Snow crab legs, dungeness crab, shrimp, clams, potoato, egg, and I think sausage. Total splurging for two people. Second time, we ate there, we got free ice cream. Service was great and the place is spacious. We ordered shrimp and a cluster of snow crab legs (wasn't enough crab). We tried to get dungeness crab but they didn't have any. Crab is so expensive! Not cheap but to treat yourself every once in a while, it's fantastic.

    Food-- WHEWWWWWW let's start off by saying this food was PHENOMENAL! My food was hot and tasteful, just perfect. Ordered the bucket added on crab legs and 1 egg. Got raisin cajun sauce mild. This satisfied my craving. LOVED LOVED this place, esp being from out of town I found this place on a YouTube review. Service-- Shout out to Kevin! He was an amazing server from beginning to end. He was soooo attentive to our needs and overal just helpful. He provided wonderful service. You're appreciated Kevin! The complimentary ice cream and fries were appreciated so yummy! Ambiance-- The place is cute just simple no extra stuff. I love the lights outside the front door. I like the ship looking ambiance it gave. I definitely recommend this place to locals and people of town.

    Saw this on IG and decided to come check out the hype. I made reservations prior to going there on a Saturday at 1PM. But it definitely was not needed, as there was only 1 other family in there. I was surprised - and a little scared LOL. Maybe the action is at their Stanton location. Cool atmosphere, good for large groups. Indoor seating only. The host/waitress was really sweet. It wasn't her fault that they were lacking so many things -- Hand to forehead. First. They didn't have any diet soda. But it was on their menu... strike one. Then , I ordered a side of garlic butter... but she came back and said they ran out.. which I thought was odd considering they had melted butter and there was a sh*t load of garlic in my Ragin' Cajun sauce! Lol. I let all of that slide because the Ragin' Cajun sauce was BOMB. I literally took the garlic from their and threw it in my melted butter - like c'mon. Sorry, I'll stop now. Anyways we ordered king crab, dungeons crab, and because we spent over $85, we got a free bucket of shrimp. After we ordered, we overheard the waitress tell the other table that there was an all you can eat menu for $35.... Um, how come she didn't offer it to us? Doesn't matter tho... we enjoyed the crab. But good to know if I was craving snow crabs - AYCE is the way to go. I guess I should be happy that there were no crowds - they just need to stock up on diet soda lol.... And I really didn't understand the garlic butter. Overall, amazing sauce - I'd go again.

    Food was deliciou. Friendly and very attentive staff. Absolutely great service. Definitely do recommend.

We stopped by on a Friday before noon, originally just planning to grab some frozen black cod. But while browsing the market, we spotted sea bream, which is much harder to come by, so we ended up picking up about 1.6 lbs ($35/lb). Haven't tried it yet, but will definitely update this review once we do. This review is actually for the bar seating area, which I believe operates as a separate restaurant under the same owner. You get to taste sushi made from the same fresh seafood being sold in the market. Of course I can't talk about the food without talking about the prices. They have a Happy Hour menu (the green one -- see photos), and when we went, they were also running a BOGO deal on several items and one being black cod $10 for 4 pieces. Such a steal. The slices were on the thinner side, but the quality was still amazing, especially for the price point. Fresh, clean flavors, and you can tell the fish is high quality. I totally wish we could've tried more items, but we had just eaten lunch beforehand. The employees and the owner, I think, was really friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Between the market and the bar, this place is a win. I'll definitely be coming back, both for the fresh fish selection and for a sit down.

We stopped by here on my birthday for a nice evening dinner. Got there a little before sunset. There's just something magical about eating outside during a sunset, especially at the Orange Plaza. The restaurant has such a cool look and vibe! We started off with the Hamachi crudo, salmon ceviche, and a bowl of clam "chowdah". The crudo was absolutely delicious, highly recommend. The salmon ceviche was really good but a bit heavy on the sauce for me. The clam chowder had whole clams in the shell throughout. That was fun to pick them out! For entrees we got the lean and mean plate with sea bass. It comes with salad and rice, we substituted the rice for black beans. We also got the skirt steak "bulgogi" which was served on top of mushrooms and bok choy with a sweet soy sauce. They accidentally brought out salmon instead of sea bass, but were very apologetic. They brought out a sea bass on the side and comped the entree to make up for it. Great service right there! The salmon and seabass were both delicious and cooked perfectly. The steak was tender and juicy, full of flavor. As a birthday gift they brought out a thai milk tea blondie sundae which was soooo good! Get it if you like sweets. I wish the owners all the best in their future endeavors, they created a great restaurant that many will miss. Thanks to all the servers, hostesses, cooks, and bussers as well for making my birthday dinner so special!
