This is a newly addition to the present boil seafood affairs in the GTA. A lot of people say this place is a rip off or copy of Captain's Boil but to be fair Captain's Boil did not grandfathered this unique cooking idea, they too copied the idea from our southern neighbour.
My friends and I visited Boiling Bar on a Saturday night for dinner and this place is quite full already by 7. We waited about 30 mins before getting a table. Having been to Captain's Boil and others in the states I already had an idea on what to order to get the best bang of our bucks. We immediately inquired about the availability of the crawfish and disappointingly told it was "sold out".
Our group end up settling with ordering 2 pounds each of the clams, mussels, and shrimps, and 1 pound of the snow crab legs. The seafood are what you could expect
- mussels and shrimps were decent n somewhat fresh
- Snow crab legs were SO salty. it felt like they were soaked in salt water or something.
- Clams ... be warn! the clams had WAY more shells than meat. it was such a mission to dig out the clam meat among the shells.
We tried all of flavours and various spice levels; imho none of the flavours really stood out, maybe the house sauce since it has a curry kick to it and at one chilli its quite hot already.
Mostly not returning unless I want to pay to eat clam shells.
