| - Update: Less than a week later and came back. Even better, as less crowded and seafood was steamed a little less. Perfect.
Don't expect big crawfish, but do expect exceptional flavor. Clams and mussels are excellent. Suggest three sauce combo option, and spiciness tends to low end of scale so I would suggest if you like medium order hot, and hot order extra hot. The small combo was still a good deal of food and very satisfying.
They really should provide a few moist wipes with the meal as you are going to use your hands. Nice to wipe before, during so you can drink your wine/beer, and after.
Still, a different experience for Madison and very good anywhere.
Initial Review:
We did not try the sushi, but it did look quite good, the chefs were careful, and the selection very good. This review is about the seafood boiling.
We would give 4.5 stars as they were a little rigid about having to order by the pound. Would have like to be able to do clams, shrimp, crawfish by the half pound.
Very friendly and attentive staff. They were happy to explain and make recommendations.
We ordered a combo and added a lobster tail. You also pick a sauce or try all three combined like we did - awesome if you like garlic. And you pick how spicy. We went with medium. Probably could have gone hit. They ease up fir the Midwest palate.
Had heard the seafood was served in a bag, but they stopped that unless you ask for it, as folks in Madison could not get their heads around it. Bag is supposed to keep the food warmer longer. Ours was served in s nice dish. They also have a large discard bucket and plenty of napkins in a well designed dispenser, and you will need them.
The food was very good, and the sauce excellent. Clams were small and tender. Crawfish too. Shrimp were clean and flavorful and you can order with heads in or off. Sausage was very good, especially with the sauce. Lobster tail was large and full of sweet meat. Snow crab was excellent as the sauce/broth permeates the cluster and is awesome.
The food was cooked almost perfectly. Done but not over done.
Beer and wine only, but a decent selection of both.
Good value for the price. A combo easily fed two adults, and I am sure would satisfy a larger appetite.
Nice addition to the madison food scene. Good to have something different and excellent.
Casual, and don't wear your good clothes as she'll and sauce will fly!
