| - First Impressions
=============
Great atmosphere and concept. Sports bar meets Cajun Seafood Boil house.
It's like an upgraded version of Captain Boil.
- Bucket at the end of the table to clear your shells
- NAPKIN dispenser, something much needed at other places. No more paper towel rolls with other people's greasy finger prints on it!
Service
======
Waitress was friendly, service was quick. Had a few issues with the food and drinks, it was resolved.
DIRTY GLASS ISSUE:
We asked for water, a few glasses of ice water and a few glasses of warm water.
The warm water came in really dirty glasses. The waitress swapped it out, but no apology or discount off our bill.
It would have been nice to receive a coupon or discount or a "I'm so sorry about that," but--nope.
LUKE WARM COKE ISSUE:
We ordered a Diet Coke and a regular Coke. Apparently they serve the fancy Glass-Bottle Coke at this restaurant, so no refills.
The Diet Coke was fine.
The regular Coke was luke warm.
I asked if they had any cold cokes that she can swap out. She offered a glass with ice.
I know I'm being picky, by the whole reason you serve Coke in the fancy glass bottle is to enjoy drinking it out of the fancy frosted glass bottle and not have it diluted with ice--keeping in mind you are paying a premium for this glass bottle too.
I asked if she could check if there are cold Coke in the back but she didn't even check. Just offered glass with ice. Fine.
The glass with ice, had about 6 small pieces of ice in it. This is not enough to make the drink cold without all of the ice melting and watering down the Coke.
Yes it's a small detail, but it's all about the small details. And when you start adding up all the small things that went wrong it can quickly turn a pleasant experience to something that leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
This was one of those things. In my mind I was expecting Hot Cajun Seafood Boil, and a frosty ice-cold Coke.
What I ended up getting was Hot Cajun Seafood Boil with a slightly colder than Luke warm watery Coke.
Food
====
Food is good. Much like Captain Boil's food and sauce. They have much more variety and selection or non-Boil foods as well.
Sandwiches, fried rice, casseroles, all with a Seafood twist.
Side toppings to go with your Boil bag had less selection than Captain's. We were sad they had no Lotus Roots :(.
We ordered mussels, shrimp, crab and fries. All were delicious and cooked just right.
Sauce was seasoned well.
Would I go back?
=============
Yes. I'll skip the Cola, and order Beer. This was they can't offer me a cup with ice if the beer is warm.
