Came here for my birthday because I really wanted some seafood and have never tried stone crab.
I made a reservation for 5 at 7pm. The bar area was packed. The dining area had a good amount of people too. Crowds show this place is awesome, but I prefer to dine in a relaxed atmosphere instead of being around a big crowd. We weren't seated until everyone in our party arrived.
The 5 of us were seating in a booth...a very....small...booth. We were very snug in this booth and I couldn't wait for our menus to be taken away to make space for the rest of the table. The good thing about a small booth is nothing is hard or far to reach.
I requested to change our seating to a table, but our server said no. :(
Other than the atmosphere and small tables, the food was good. We started off with some stuffed mushrooms and I had some crab bisque. Best crab bisque I've had! The bowl is served with a spoonful of shredded crab and topped with the crab bisque broth. Rich in flavor with the perfect amount of salt. Great portion of the bisque too. Such a great portion, that I felt full.
Main entree was the 7 medium stone crab claws served with mustard sauce. I requested for a side of butter. Crab was served cold. Claws were a good size. The portions were more than enough.
Since it was my birthday, we ended dinner with nice fudge brownie cake with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Brownie cake was very rich...a bit too rich.
Overall the place was good, but it was loud and over priced. I'd rather pig out at Hot N Juicy or Boiling Crab next time I'm craving seafood.
