Customer Reviews
The food had good flavor. The selection was very small because the business is waiting for approval on there heating stations. I suggest give this place a couple of months to manage through the kinks and try. There schedule keeps changing day to day. It was a $120.00 for 2 adults and 1 senior. They kept what little selections they had full. Staff was very friendly and attentive to picking up dirty dishes. I'll give it a try in a couple months to see if the selections have improved to what it shows on there advertised website. If the selection stays the way it did today. Not worth the $40.00 per person
We were disappointed, came on opening weekend for the all you can eat menu. We came on Sunday, paid the premium price for the singular reason the "premium weekend menu" listed Dungeness crab as the first premium item offered on the weekend. We found one dish we think may have had pieces of Dungeness soaked in sauces, but the only crab type boil offering was snow crab. The snow crab was ok some salty some tasted good, but it wasn't Dungeness. Plus, the demand seemed to overwhelm the poor staff, there was always a major wait to get the snow crab. I preferred the cook to order menu they use to have, and they offered alcohol back then too. If they would have offered all you can eat boiled Dungeness crab I could forgo alcohol and would've been back often, but the way it is now, my friends and I
$220 for 4 ppl and they barely had any food available and took 20min it’s just to get butter refill. I’m sorry never again I’m never one to really right reviews but I came across this restaurant from and Erica taste videos and a bunch of other social media foodie videos and what they showed was completely different from what we experienced I’m not sure what was wrong with how they normally serve it but everything was on hot plates outside of the serving dishes they had, and they had less then half the food that was advertised, only 3 dessert options and a handful of other food besides the crab legs. Maybe it was the day I went and they had some renovations to be done but it was defiantly not worth the price tag. And because of the hot plates usage everything was put to a single corner so
We just came back from here , I decided to spoil myself and my girlfriend for dinner. We arrived near opening around 3:50ish (they opened at 3:30) didn’t feel a need to make a reservation and as we were seated the waiter was nice and attentive . Shortly after getting our beverages the food came out to our astonishment because we’d thought it would take awhile longer, having ate at other boil places. This was served on a platter that appeared to be covered in garlic and oil . After a few moments of eating we’ve came to realize this was not flavorful to which we came to two conclusions as to why : 1. This was cooked separate and the sauce/boil was just poured over , 2: this was cooked prior on demand and was just placed in the boil of choice when asked (hence the over cook) we found the crab
I know they just opened but the food quality needs help it was mostly all overcooked and overheated especially the seafood and they need to turn the heat down on their butter because the butter separates from the seasoning. Otherwise pretty darn good for just opening customer service was absolutely amazing and for a buffet they're pretty damn clean. They just need a tweak a few things.😊😉🙃 and come to find out from the locals that it's better on the weekends than it is on the weekdays just a heads up.😉🫡
