The food was pretty good but the service was so lacking. When I pay over 50$ per meal I expect better attention to details. Our orders were wrong. I had the king crab and I had two legs, which were supposed to be one pound, at 48$. They were delicious. Well cooked. The lemon pepper sauce is very good as well. They didn't provide with anything to make our meal easier (eating a whole potato just biting it). I don't think I'll come again because it felt very poor service for the money we paid.
Good, not great. I felt that the shrimp marinade was good, but the shrimp didn't seem very fresh. Also, what's with the bags? I don't get that. It makes for a very messy eating experience. For the price, I was expecting something more. The portions are generous though, so you will get full. The atmosphere was quaint.
Being a huge Cajun fan and a huge seafood fan, even though I've been to several other Cajun seafood places, this one was high on my list because of all the hype. The line is usually out the door whenever I drive by, so I made sure to get there right at open on a Saturday. It was perfect, there were only three tables there so no wait. Service was good. Ambiance was okay, very chill and comfortable. It is messy, I mean real messy. I was surprised that they didn't have bowls for shells and heads and such, just pile them up on the table. I didn't love that aspect - feeling a little gluttonous once I realized the aftermath.
Food was good. Although, shrimp clearly aren't cleaned prior and while I still ate them, I detest the vein and other stuff in there so I had to clean them properly prior to eating. That wasn't my favorite part of the meal. We did the $79 deal with a side of garlic noodles. Loved the noodles and if I returned, for sure would get them again. I liked the food, but think I may try a different location because I walked out content and full, but not over the moon like I have been at other restaurants of this type.
