| - So after going to both locations, and only having Captain's Boil as a comparison, here stole my heart. The sauces at Boil Bar are much much cleaner. You can tell they don't put any artificial food colouring in their sauces and I don't taste MSG, which has a very distinctive flavour. The seafood is fresh and cooked just right. My friends and I ordered the shrimp, mussels and clams. They are very proud of where they get their seafood from. Oh and they give you pop in a bottle, which just ups their wow factor. Tastes better in a bottle in my opinion. We also got a few appetizers to share: fried sweet potatoes, seafood fried rice and onion rings. Hands down the best sweet potatoes I've had! They melt in your mouth! The onion rings were really good too. This may sound "hipster," but if they ever decided to make their own ketchup like Wanda's Pie in the Sky, I think they'd do well! The seafood fried rice was bigger than expected and our server brought us bowls which made it perfect since I didn't want the extra sauce in our bags to go to waste. Bare in mind, the Boil Bar is just setting themselves up so it's nowhere near as busy as Captain's Boil, but I'd rather a restaurant who succeeds with quality, rather than quantity. I've come across their blogTO post and they have lots of new menu items rolling out just in time for winter! Can't wait to go back and try them!
