| - 3.5/5, +.5 for service
Well, this is definitely a unique addition to the community, and the hype blew up very fast here. I definitely wouldn't think I'd be served food in a plastic bag, nor would I actually be expected to eat from food in a plastic bag!
All that aside, to enjoy this experience you actually have to dine here. Unfortunately they only take reservations for 6 people or more, though under exceptional circumstances they will take reservations for 4. The first time I tried to dine here on Saturday night, I arrived at 9:15pm and was told the wait was 2 hours long. I noped right out of there, but only after I made a reservation for Sunday night at 8pm. Since I was only a table of 3, AND because I reserved in-person, I was granted to be first on the 8pm waiting list that night.
Sunday night came and I got my table after about 10 minutes of waiting. We were seated upstairs, where there are two large seatings and two small seatings available. There's a dedicated server upstairs, so waving down someone to take our order wasn't hard at all.
We had the lobsters, king crab, two rounds of clams, and raw oysters. We had the captain's boil sauce for everything except one of the rounds of clams, in which we had the garlic sauce instead. The clams with garlic sauce and raw oysters came first, and I must say the clams were very good considering they were only $11.95. There were a couple of clams whose shells weren't open though. The raw oysters were on the smaller side, and I definitely preferred Nomé's raw oysters over this place.
The lobsters and king crab were both very good as well, and despite the fact both were only 1lb, they packed a lot of seafood meat into both shells so it was enough to share. The captain's boil sauce was okay, but I didn't find it mix very well with the garlic sauce. Next time for me I would just go with the garlic sauce and the cajun cajun separate.
After all this, the environmental side of my mind wanted to wonder if all the plastic bags and disposable utensils get recycled or reused eventually. While I understand the convenience aspect of this kind of dining, I really don't like supporting restaurants that clearly don't have an environmental mandate when it comes to post-dining cleaning.
Service was excellent, and I liked how there was always a server in the upper level to handle tasks for its customers upstairs. He was also very knowledgeable about the products and knows very well about its specials.
To sum this long review up, I will likely return for special occasions. However I really want this place to be transparent on how they contribute to benefiting the environment, considering the large amounts of plastic bags they use in making these meals.
