| - (3.5-stars for now because I've only been here once and it's not enough for me to say that it's the best. I do plan on returning and re-review this establishment!)
Got brought here for a surprise dinner and boy, was I surprised! Not only because I rarely get surprises...but also dining here with my almost-bare-hands!! Yup, do not expect any utensils here besides a pair of plastic gloves and a bib. Addition to that, everything is served in a plastic bag! Last thing, don't worry about having sauce all over your face because for 1) you don't have to worry about class; everyone will be eating out from a plastic bag with their hands and 2) the food's too yummy for you to even notice.
We ordered a pound each of the Clams with Garlic sauce, Shrimp with Captain Boil's sauce, Mussles with Cajun sauce and a side of Wings and Cajun Fries.
First off, the clams were my favourite! The sauce was laced with pieces of chopped garlic that some say that it adds a kick of spiciness to their tastebuds (as for me.. I did not taste the spice from the garlic pieces. I suppose, it hits everyone differently). This sauce is just perfect for any seafood!!
Next, the shrimp! Most of you were probably wondering about what is in the house sauce and that is... *drum roll please* 3 of their sauces combined! Mix the garlic, lemon pepper and cajun sauce and there you have it, The Captain Boil's sauce. Pretty interesting, huh? Upon tasting it, it wasn't my cup of tea... 1) I cannot handle much heat and 2) I prefer a sauce that's not too "musky" if you know what I mean. For those of you that can handle heat, you have the option to one-, two- or three-level it up (i.e. mild, medium and fire).
The mussles had a similar taste to the house sauce except it's a lot spicier (well for me at least, haha) with a whole lot of meat! These mussles were pretty decent in size I must say.
Alright, so as for the Wings and Cajun fries, they taste like the way they look. However, I do appreciate the light batter for the wings and how big the wings were. The fries could use more cajun seasoning and they could also balance out the fries with the wings as I felt that they were 'too' generous with the fries..
As you might all know that I'm really big on service. Let me tell you this: service here is exceptional! Very attentive, clear and our server was confident with all the items on the menu. Kind of disappointed that I did not get to try their crawfish since they were out however, I will be back!!!
