Been meaning to check this place out since I saw the pictures in the reviews. Either easy parking or I happened to get lucky on the night. I made a reservation the day of for a Saturday day night via their online booking system off the website. There were 2 hour pre-determined time slots to choose from. I chose the 5.30 - 7.30 pm slot but we wanted to come at 6 pm. I called the resturant to advise them of our preferred time and it was updated for us without a fuss. They have beers on tap & serve alcohol at reasonable prices. I was hoping to try the king crab American boil platter & had to convince my friends to try it with me. It was nice they let us buy the Groupon voucher we saw online here even though you're meant to buy it in advance. Each platter is suited to 2 people. We got 2 platters between the 3 of us. Glad we did after the other comments indicating the platter wasn't quite enough. The plus of ordering 2 platters was being able to choose 2 different flavours. We chose 'hot' for the Singaporean flavour but in my opinion it wasn't hot at all. The other flavour had sage, garlic & butter was the better choice. A decent variety of crabs 4 types according to the menu. There was a decent selection of other seafood (bugs, muscles & pawns) even though I don't eat prawns. Wish there was more of the mini baguttes to dip into the sauces. The beef sausage was a random edition. Was thankful for the apron, gloves and proper utensils to get into the crab. Agree with other reviews regarding the freshness. Was told you need to order the mudcrab (not included in the platter) in advance so they can buy it fresh. Good to know. If you haven't been here before I recommend checking it out. It was busy however the service was great. Shout out to the friendly, helpful and accommodating staff.

I came here recently to try out this place as I saw the reviews and I've been meaning to try it out for a while. I was one of the first customer so the place was neat and tidy. I took the opportunity to take a few pictures of the restaurant layout and it did have a very unique and artistic ambience. I saw there were a lot of reviews on the crab combo so thought I'd give that a try. There were many different kinds of crabs and seafood including king crab, spanner crab, sand crab, blue swimmers, Moreton Bay bug, mussels and prawns. While there were definitely different types of crabs and seafood, I felt the portion sizes weren't really filling enough, especially when you consider the this is a share plate and the size of spanner crabs, sand grabs and blue swimmers aren't very large. The combo does come with bread, potatoes, and a drink. The seafood was not the most fresh but was still okay. I saw online that the normal price for the crab combo was $180. I came when there was a promotion and the crab combo was reduced to $120. Put it this way, I wouldn't pay the normal price for the combo. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of eating crabs as it's pretty messy even when you're given gloves and all the necessary accessories to break through the crab's shell. I'm sure there are plenty of crab fans who'd enjoy this meal. It is still worth a try.

We were gifted the King Crab American Boil for 2 people with a glass of beer each as a Christmas present so we decided to dine here for my husband's birthday. The crabs were pretty tasteless, and it was a real effort to get any meat out of the legs and claws, prawns weren't fresh and they were limp and soggy and we only received one half of a bug which was dry and the whole platter arrived swimming in a pool of garlic Baltimore butter/sauce so it was super greasy and actually made me feel squeamish, even the baguette was horrible. My husband said that the glass of beer was the best part of the whole deal. Can't fault the service as it was prompt and courteous, only one server but only one other table was occupied. We were starving when we left so we had to pick up take away on the way back home. We definitely won't be going back.

I had an absolutely incredible dining experience at this seafood restaurant! The Snow Crab Bowl I ordered was a true delight, featuring a mouthwatering array of flavors. The three types of crabs, prawns, Morton Bay bugs, sausage, muscles, and the perfectly toasted baguette were all cooked to perfection. The garlic sauce added a rich and savory kick to every bite. The ambiance of the venue was fantastic, and the kind friendly staff made the meal even more enjoyable. If you're a seafood lover, this place is an absolute must-visit. I can't wait to come back for another unforgettable meal!

5 stars doesn’t do this justice! This place is amazing. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for their crabs, we ordered the swimmer and the Spanner both with the Baltimore sauce. We also ordered the chicken tenders and the calamari, they were so light and absolutely beautiful. We will 100 % be returning, if you enjoy a crab feast then definitely check this out if you haven’t already!

The guy who served us was great, gave us free cheesy oysters to try and I ordered some extra. The king crab boil wasn’t as big as it used to be as it never came with corn, potatoes and sausages. So perhaps they’ve downsized all the meat?? But overall the sauce is still delicious! Highly recommended!

Food was excellent although the snow crab shell was a little soft. The atmosphere was a little awkward but that because they forgot to turn the music on. They eventually did.

Hands down the best food i have put into my mouth in a LONG time. I’d compare this food to that of San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf. It was THAT GOOD! Incredible customer service to top it off!
