Love love love this place. I’m Indian and I love my spice… this place did not disappoint by any means… this is also my first time having a seafood boil. And it was epic. The service was wonderful… definitely worth the 18% service fee. The beignets are amazing so please make some space for it in yo tummy. The seafood boil, the one person bucket is definitely enough for two people. If you’re ordering a combo boil, do not order an appetiser coz it’s already too heavy. Like you will not be able to finish it. Their portions are wonderfully large and way sufficient for two people. So keep that in mind while ordering. They are on the pricey side, coz their boil cost about 50$ minimum… our bill for two people came upto 162$ including the 18% tip. And we ordered fish and chips, one bucket boil, two bourbon and ginger ale, one cocktail and the beignets. So order wisely. We had to pack the fish and chips. But they were definitely yummy. Will most definitely come back for more. <3

I loved my margarita, the mango one, but I will say that the crab leg meal and shrimp that I got, I was not happy with. I did not like that the shrimp was not deveined, and I did not know that until I got it at my table. The seasoning on the crab legs, n shrimp was not as flavorful as I’m used to & I definitely will not b going back. Plus there’s a 18% gratuity automatically applied if u dine in Parking: Had to download a app to park nearby

Came from out of town and wanted seafood. Just off the Gaslamp district, this seems to have a mix of tourists and locals. I ended up eating there twice. (Jambalaya) The only downside was the sign explaining the 18% surcharge and making sure we read it before seating us. I imagine it's because if they don't, a lot of customers from out of town don't understand this practice.
