Best Seafood restaurant in Canada

s	sara on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I went for dinner with a friend on Saturday night, the food was great- but the service from our server Donia really made it an experience to remember. She was thorough in helping us find menu options, was very on top of ensuring our drinks never emptied, and that the food was up to par! As life as we knew it is finally coming together, she made trying a new restaurant so awesome! When I’m back I hope Donia is working so we can enjoy ourselves as much as we did last night!
J	Jessica Wambugu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a wonderful Louisiana-style seafood boil restaurant that is truly unique! No, you do not get plates. That is why the tables are covered in paper. This place is embracing the tradition of a southern seafood boil. I had the lobster boil with corn and a boiled egg, and my boyfriend had the crawfish boil with corn and potato. We both got the captain's boil sauce, mine mild and his medium. They do provide you with plastic gloves, but there are no bibs. I hope they do eventually get bibs as the sauce tends to go everywhere as you eat. The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful! The sauce was flavourful with a slight kick. The lobster was boiled beautifully. Cracking it open was really satisfying. I liked the fact that staff were around to help give tips on how to eat the food as I've never eaten whole lobster before. They do give you the tools needed to do this so it was very easy. No, you do not get a fork or a knife or any utensils; just dig in with your hands. If you're the kind of person who wants things plated just so, this is not the place for you. But if you're like my partner and I and you enjoy interacting with your meals and don't mind getting messy, this place is definitely worth checking out :)
T	Thomas Knowles on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Gross. Shrimp is not cleaned. If you like eating poo Was told no menu, that it was online but they have no wifi or prices. they gave no plates or baskets. Was given a glass of warm water to start. No ice. Better off going to a seafood restaurant. Where they clean the Shrimp or buy your own and do yourself. For $160. I now have to take home wash sauce off and clean then recook myself. Looking to make people sick, watch out!!
L	Leanne Jones-Bowen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really delicious food and fun atmosphere. The only downside is they don't give you plates or cutlery, so you are truly just eating with your hands, even for the sides. Great food though, I would go again. Very fresh tasting catches.
M	Matt Morin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place to eat. Spent a bit much but enjoyed everything. Have never been to place like this before so it was a first for me to eat out of bags. Will be back for sure due to the great service and tasty seafood.
P	Paige Wood on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing food!! The captain's boil was an amazing flavour. Great seasons and the food was so good it melts in your mouth. The staff were very nice and came by to check up or top up drinks. Can't wait to try more amazing items.
M	Martin Ly on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ First time coming in. They checked for vaccination status. They were very attentive, telling us they would be with us in a few mins while we waited at the doors. The food itself was pretty ok. We bought the seafood platter B with a side of crawfish. You choose your meal, your two sides, spice flavouring and heat intensity. The staff were very good at their job, they explained how the menu works and even was nice enough to show us how to eat crawfish for our first time. The menu is on a QR code but there's also a chalkboard with current prices for the more expensive stuff. The food wasn't particularly warm, but I think for the purpose of eating by hand that's a good thing? You get a bib and gloves. Servers offer scissors for cutting the crawfish too. The rice was good. Well cooked. The yam fries did not feel greasy. The shrimp fingers as well were well cooked. The potatoes were soft enough to use a plastic spoon to eat. The broccoli was cooked well and didn't feel undercooked. The mussel dish was a little gritty. Might be do to the sauce consistency. The clams were also just ok. I think maybe these would be better steaming hot. The crawfish, being out first try.. They are definately not for everyone. However this type of dish is great for groups, as the time used to break them down is great for talking. The crawfish also came with 2 sides. Bathrooms were also quite clean. There were sanitizers at the front entrance as well.
C	Cleo P on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well, we had a great experience here. It was a little bit pricy but what do you expect it's seafood. And we already expected we'll be eating out of bags. If you're the type of person who doesn't want to get messy while eating, then this place is not for you. There's a tendency sauces will splatter. We were a group of 6 and it was worth it. We even had a take out because the food was too much. The sauce from the lobster and king crab are amazing! The service was fast. And servers were very patient with our requests despite of being packed on Mother's day. I would really recommend this to anyone but if this restaurant want to cater to other customers' requests, (to gain more customers?) I would suggest serving it on big bowls rather than plastic bags. And have banana leaves to eat on? Meh ??‍♀️ just a suggestion ?
