The fish basket was dry, not a lot of flavour, onion rings thin and dry, not a lot of meat on the lobster about 5 bites worth. Not worth the money.

Delicious seafood boil! Fresh crab, shrimp, mussels, and clams in a rich, spicy Cajun butter. The corn and potatoes were packed with flavor too. A fun, hands-on experience—perfect for seafood lovers!

While this seafood joint isn't exactly a budget-friendly option, it's a decent pick for a solid meal. The food was okay, but the sauce truly stood out. I also appreciated the unique eating off the table setup. And, let’s not forget the friendly staff who made the experience pleasant. Overall, a fair spot if you're willing to splurge a bit.

Scallop dish was not fresh scallops, suspect sort of pressed fish pieces. had to ask for plates to eat our salad, forks were blunt and near useless. Got charged for 2 drinks $17 that we did not order or consume. Ripped off....

I have already done a Google review last night. We were very happy with the food, the ambience and the services. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great seafood experience. Only tip ask for the mild options if you cannot stand too much spice

It’s not the place it’s used to be. Food is not that great, kind of bland taste on all the choices we choose. Also it’s not worth the money we spend on. But it’s a different experience.

Fast and friendly service, the only issue i had was even though my booking time was 1915, book in slightly earlier and then was informed of a dining time limit till 2030, bearing in mind that there was 6 people in total inclusive of 3 young kids, its doesn't make sense and kinda makes me feel they are pushing for sales more than anything else

Food was lovely. My 2nd visit, had a night out for Fathers Day. We are all seafood lovers. Some were a bit chewy and it was a shame oysters were sold out! Nonethless a good night!

Family from overseas came to visit me and my partner. My sister-in-law has been craving for crabs and prawns. So, me and my partner has decided to take them out for dinner. They really enjoyed the food especially the Cajun sauce and dining experience.

We spent $200 for three of us. I found I left a little hungry, this was the first time I experienced seafood like this. The King Crab Legs didn't have as much meat in them as I hoped. The bugs also didn't have much meat in them. The prawns were okay. I don't think I will go back, unless it was to have just the prawns. The service was great, however, as the restaurant was 1/4 full, I wonder what it would be like when full. Overall, I think people should give it a go.

We had such a nice time. The experience was a lot of fun, a great spot to celebrate a birthday. Food was great..we had 5 people and 2 combos plus the delicious crab fries and drinks were ordered. Staff were pleasant and helpful, and seafood was really tasty. We were all hesitant at first but quickly settled into a great night.

The meals were great, however we came to celebrate my son’s 16th birthday, and this was something he was looking forward to. It was a terrible service experience. The staff were all unhappy and rude. My sister asked for a fork for her chicken, and the girl literally threw it on the table, and stormed off. I understand it’s a public holiday tomorrow, however we felt rushed, as it looked like the staff just wanted to leave. I could not see any staff that were happy, they were all miserable. We were all eating, hands dirty, when one girl told us we needed to pay right now, as they wanted to close the till. It was still 20 minutes until they close. We literally were covered in seafood. We brought a bday cake with us and didn’t even get to bring it out for his bday due to being rushed to get out. We will not be visiting again. For the $$ we spent, the service was disgusting!!
