I’ve been to a couple seafood boil places and this place definitely could have done better. Service and atmosphere was great, but this place did not have the qualities that a traditional seafood boil restaurant would have. Other places have their eggs, sausages, and corn included with the seafood that you choose (whether it’s shrimp or crab). I didn’t understand why each piece of these servings were an additional $1 with the meal. The food options were already extremely pricey but yet we still had to pay additional for other sides that would normally be included with the meal. Next, the seafood boil places that I’ve been to has a silver pan or giant plate for us to dump the seafood out on to so that we can eat it properly. We asked for plates here and they gave us paper plates that would’ve absorbed all of the sauces. I noticed all the other dine in customers also had plastic trays. With our food still being in a plastic bag, it made it that much harder to eat. Seafood boil is definitely messy which is part of the experience, but it should not have to be this difficult with the sauces around the bag getting everywhere. Although the food and service was great, we’re not coming back due to better offerings elsewhere.

This was my first time here. Definitely will not be my last. The service was great & she told us how to properly use our utensils for cutting the legs. We had the king crabs with potatoes, corn & shrimp, with the Kai’s Cajun & it was fantastic. It is for sure pricey, but seafood in general is. Especially with prices going up everywhere it is to be expected. I also had the fried calamari & it was excellent & not rubbery at all. I also tried the garlic noodles & I added some of my shrimp to it & it was so good! I will definitely be back!

This is a fun meal to enjoy with your loved ones. It was a fantastic meal. The food was seasoned well and Rachel took wonderful care of us. P.s prepare to get messy!

Good food, great fun. You can control how much you spend. Everyone in our party of 4 was happy with their meal. I had the Gulf Combo, mussels and shrimp, with sausage and corn, Kai's sauce, medium heat, and it was terrific. I brought half of it home, there was so much. They give you bibs and plastic gloves, which you definitely need!

We have our tables spaced out 6 feet from each other and we take temperatures for any dine-in guests. Masks are required in any common areas of the restaurant. We do take extra steps in cleaning the tables between guests to ensure tables are properly sanitized.

How much is the boil?

Market price. There were 3 of us having king crab and paid $176. But that's about $50 cheaper than we do at Columbus Fish Market and it was so much better and you pick your flavors.

Be truthful on your answer. How is the food? And what is the atmosphere like?

Pick your sauce when ordering....this is what seasons your boil, otherwise seafood is boiled plain and placed in a plastic bag. The space is small... like a casual storefront... but inviting

We have been there three times. For the teo of us the bill ran between $70 and $80. We had crab. Shrimp is a bit less. You csn spend more if you get a combo like crab and shrimp.

Is it all u can?
