with all the hype going on, i needed to try this place for myself.
hype- New experience eating seafood out of plastic bags with a sailor moon bib (what i like to call it) and the most rip-able gloves
sauce: we ordered different sauces for each lb of seafood and concluded that they all taste similar once you've tasted the captains boil (since its a mixture of all the sauces)
*for those who do not eat butter, do not get the garlic sauce. its just butter and loads of garlic! (man do i love the chunks of garlic!)
**mild seems to be a bit more than a kick for me, so go down a notch
Quality: king crabs legs were bomb, full of juicy meat! (1lb per person), clams were good as well. Shrimp were not as fresh since there were some mushy ones in my bag =/
super sad that they were out of craw fish on a thursday night! T_T
atmosphere: upstairs was bright and loud, downstairs was dim, quiet! I was seated downstairs and I wasn't very impressed because the ventilation wasn't that good and felt very warm. Thank god there was a TV at least or else it would've felt very sketchy.
verdict: go for the experience not for the value.
Tips: make reservations or go early & maybe not the best place to go on a first date, its pretty messy!
