| - Finally, it's here!! :)
I have been seeing this place for months and was wondering when it will be opened. The place has officially opened with a soft opening this week since February 2nd, Still working some kinks here, I think the place is off to a great start.
You may think? What, another copycat of Captain Boil?!?! Captain Boil may be the trend setter of opening this type of restaurant in the GTA and in Canada but they are hardly the originator and creator since this type of restaurant has been in existence for a long time down the South.
What's so different this place as compared to others? Well, the food is different and the sauce is hardly the same IMHO. Also, the vibe is this place is quite different from other Captain Boil and Boil Bar or other similar restaurants.
I went there quickly to check out this place on Thursday and it was impressive. 6000 square feet of massive space and lots of TV's in various size, especially a huge one on one side of the room. It's a great place to hang out, chill and catch some games. The restaurant is quite trendy and modern, with enough spaces to sit a few hundreds people! I love the vibe of this restaurant and how the place didn't go nuts in decorating with seafood artifacts. Variety of seats are offered. There are booths, tables and also high tables and chairs on the sides if you feel like sitting higher.
When you walk in, you might be captivated with the big golden Popeye in the middle of the room. Quite cute that I had to take some selfie with Popeye~ AYE!!
Here are a few items that I tried on Friday.
-Mussels: Big juicy mussels.. Quite a good portion for 1 pound.
-Shrimps: Quite a good portion for 1 pound
-Cajun Seafood Fried Rice: Comes with Scallops and shrimps (though small ones). I was presently surprised with the rice. I ordered it as I was worried we won't be full from the food but it was a nice portion and the fried rice was good! I expected to be spicy (with two peppers) but it wasn't.
-Lobster Roll - Had it hot.. Delicious lobster roll but a tad expensive, leaving you wanting more. Comes with yummy cajun fries and the salad vinaigrette is very zesty!!
I will be back again to try more items! There are so much things on the menu and I recommend going with groups of at least 4 people to try more things.
The restaurant is also open for lunch on the week-ends so do go check it out and take advantage of the limited 10% discount off promotion on food when you check in with the YELP App.
Service is good and the owner Tony asked us for feedback. The restaurant doesn't have a liquor license yet but it won't be long because it's available as I noticed this place is hooked up with some great liquid vendors. The lobster nachos is temporarily not available but will be coming back soon :D
