I went to The Captain's Boil with a few friends after it came highly recommend by a friend. Since we went mid-week there was no line, but there was also no one at the front. It took a little longer than we would have liked for someone to notice us and seat us. Once we were seated the server was extremely friendly and explained the process as was our first time.
I ordered mussels and snow crab with Captain's Boil seasoning with no extra spice. It was amazing! The crab was perfectly cooked and came out if its shell very easily. The mussels were HUGE and were also cooked perfectly. I loved the seasoning. It had the right amount of heat without being too much. I added on corn and lotus root. The corn was sweet and cooked perfectly as well. The lotus root did not have much flavour and I did not care for the consistency. I would not get it again, but that is more due to my taste than anything.
My friends ordered lobster, shrimp and clams. They said it was all amazing as well. For the add-ons they chose sausage and potatoes. The sausage was amazing! I wish I had ordered some. While I didn't try the potatoes, my friends all said they were good.
We ordered garlic bread for the table. I wasn't impressed. It seems like the Texas toast garlic bread you can buy frozen at the grocery store. It worked well to soak up the sauce though!
The only thing I didn't like was despite the restaurant being almost empty, our food was all brought out at different times, so two of us were already eating while the other two were still waiting. It was a good 5min before they brought out everyone else's order.
While it is a more expensive place to eat, the prices are fair given how much seafood you get. Based on the service and taste alone I will be returning.
