I was intrigued to try this new seafood restaurant because I had been to the Captain's Boil many times and really enjoyed their dining style. The Boil Bar's menu also featured more variety of side foods, including some of Asian origin which the Captain's Boil does not have. My boyfriend and I ordered 1lb of mussels, 1lb of shrimp, the sausages and the lobster tail (all in their signature kraken sauce at the explode spicyness level). We also got fries, octopus balls and calamari on the side.
I'm sad to say their sauce did not come close to tasting as delicious as Captain's Boils, and I was truly disappointed. At their competitor's restaurant, their house sauce is an appetizing red colour and you can taste the lemon, garlic and Cajun in every bite. However the Boil Bar's house sauce was a dull brown colour, and honestly tasted a bit bland. Furthermore, the "explode" level (which the server told me was medium) was so spicy my mouth started to get numb. The lobster tail was a little over done and extremely chewy, whereas their fries were a little under done and very soft. As my boyfriend and I barely touched the fries and did not enjoy them, we asked to have it removed from our bill. The waitress said no because "we were just full and couldn't finish them", not because they came out soft and soggy. Needless to say, I will not be back and I regret spending $83 here instead of at the Captain's Boil.
