Fun concept, yummy food, the only downside was actually ordering the food the online order form ends up being confusing especially with the multiple orders for the table and it was a bit glitchy.
Overall its been a good experience every time I visit this place
My second time here and again was a great experience. Food was delicious. Staff are pleasant and friendly. I’m sure to be back.
Very tasty food and fast service. Me and my 3 friends thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Would go again!
Very Yummy but be prepared to get really, really messy
My family loved it. Such an amazing experience and food was great
We got individual items but they put everything next to each other so in the end they all tasted the same. We also got an extra dipping sause that was said to be 10/10 in spice...which it was not that spicy to me. But I would pay the amount of money just for the experience. That was worth the money. We will go again and try a different sause. Well worth the experience.
Convenient booking process. Good food and worth the money spent.
The food was amazing and the service was really nice would recommend!
The food was absolutely delicious combined with sauces and flavors.. Had generous servings of blue margaritas to wash it down with. The staff were friendly and very welcoming.
First time getting a boil like this and it was delicious! Everything I expected and more. Definitely will be coming back.
First time at the Melbourne venue. Our food was absolutely delicious. Amazing King crab and Australian lobster. Wil definitely come back when next in Melbourne
Cheerful atmosphere and beautiful food. Service was fast and efficient. Staff were lovely. A unique dining experience and lots of fun for the whole family.
The new ordering system is confusing and impersonal. It use to be nice to talk to the waiters about what to order etc. we didn’t know how much was too much or not enough food and the app didn’t say so. Why would you do the QR code thing and then have to go up and pay before you eat anyway? lol Also. 1.5% for suing a card is criminal. No one uses cash anymore! The food was good and the most of the staff were nice, but your ordering system ruined the experience.
Food was really good, very flavourful, service was average. The lady that sat us was really nice though.
Mud crab was empty. Very little meat . Not happy
Food was tasty, delicious the place was really cool. Had a great time
I think you need to add more potatoes and corn to the serves without paying extra. Other than that it was delicious
Thoroughly enjoyed it, would definitely recommend this place to friends
Good first time experiance and the ervice was extreamly fast.
Took team out for dinner and each one of us enjoyed the food
the blue crab combo was good enough for 2 people
Amazing food and service was excellent , very recomended ,
Rice was hard, seafood was very chewy but the service was good
Dinner for five people was served Lightning fast - excellent portion sizes and kind friendly serving team
Lovely experience and plenty of variety! Would also love a fresh cold version with no sauce !
Seafood was good. We ordered the mild cajun seasoning and it had a good kick of heat.
First time there Service 10/10 Quick didn't have to wait long $129 for lobster boil everything was good may except for the prawns they where frozen the shell was really soft as an extra for $39 I ordered abalone which was only 8 pieces now I don't mind paying that price but i expect it to be cooked to perfection but it was not very chewy and rubbery must work on your cooling times but overall I did enjoy it just a few little tweeks Will try again
All good 👍🏻 and the food is teasing and amazing
One of our dishes was cooked only half way through.
It was not bad at all, should have a combo for 4 people too
Staff were fabulous, food was great 👍 alittle loud , bibs definitely needed to be better
Polite and quick service. Food came quickly and was tasty.
Well actually we walked out. When I booked, I specifically stated that we were coming for chilli mud crab as it was my husband's birthday. There was no chilli mud crab available
Amazing as always and Great service, we'll be back for sure
Good service and atmosphere. Two of the dishes ordered were not tasty, namely crayfish and lobster
We loved the experience and the food was great! We will definitely be back with our friends.
Customer service was perfect food fresh ,warm and tasty All perfect
Bit pricey for the value that you get. We asked for a mild sauce but we got a really spicy sauce so we didn’t get to enjoy it.
Delicious food, the banging combo and crab fries where perfect for 2 hungry people
Loved it!! Definitely will recommend this place to everyone!! GO
The seafood was very fresh, tasty, and the service was great. Looking forward to going again.
Very tasty, warm and comfortable environment. Friendly staff made for a good night
Amazing seafood , best service ; nice and clean .
Food was good, but could be better. Also felt that the mild option was still a bit hot so next time I’ll go with no spice at all. Also I feel that the bundles should have the option to swap out the items. I don’t eat octopus but couldn’t swap it out. Also feel that there should be fish bites as an option to add to the boil.
everything was good except the black gloves! gave the impression that they are rubber ones that cleaners use for toilet cleaning….bit anti-appetite.!pls change it back to the transparent ones.
Experience was amazing and so fun! Staff were accommodating and kind. If you happen to get a bad review from some Karen (with a son named Vincent who was having his birthday dinner), ignore it. They weren't unhappy with their food - just unhappy with their lives and marriage based on the amount of yelling they broadcast to the restaurant. Will definitely come back!
Food was delicious and our order came through quickly. Loved the music & environment. Highly recommend to try it out.
Food was fresh and tasty. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
Sauce is too salty. Seafood not really fresh. Not feeling full.
