Food is SO delicious it really reminds of the original boil. We came on busy Friday night. There was a waiting line to be served server told us maybe 15 minutes but we were only able to take a table at 25 minutes. I mean I understand it was a ... full restaurant but I wish they had some kind of alert system to let me know so I wouldn’t have to wait before being seated. Otherwise rest was ok service good, server archie makes really good cocktails and the food is so yummy and saucy. Definitely coming back Read more

It's too bad. I'm never going again. The waiter was very neglectful and no one served him for a long time. Feeling treated differently. Disposable gloves and litter baskets are not provided. The service is terrible. The food didn't feel fresh, either. The lobster was smooth, fishy, and had a weird ... taste Read more

It was busy when we arrived so we were okay that we waited quite a bit for our food. We ordered the Dungeness crab and a mix. Everything was fine until I saw that half of the crab was raw (only the legs were fine). Mussels were dry and overcooked. ... The server was amazing and apologetic but we only received a 10% discount on our meal. We got the sense that management didn’t believe us after they mentioned the yellow guts was normal; disregarding the fact that the meat was translucent. I would be very careful when ordering crab from them (please check the body of the crab). Overall, I don’t believe we will come back to this establishment. Read more

Just finished our late afternoon lunch on a nice sunny Saturday afternoon. We had the shrimp option. The shrimps were huge, delicious and the sauces were very tasty ( mild and medium hot). The seafood fried rice was AMAZING. If you get the combo called “Matey” it easily feeds two ... people - my son and I couldn’t finish all the shrimps and my sons a teen and a BIG eater. We’re bringing some home. Our waiter, Matthew, was a real gem. Very friendly and a knowledgeable about the food. Provided excellent service and with a lot of great personality. Would highly recommend this restaurant. Lots of fun and heart, fresh delicious seafood. Best, Mike McL. Read more
