The peak of entertainment is found in the crab market, very nice dancing girls especially the belly dancer, it’s lovely to have such a show on the first weekend of 2024 The staff are very courteous and fast with service. The ambiance is great with really cool lighting, infact cozy is an understatement. The food is nice, lots of seafood options You may need to ask for directions though, if you park in the basement or even on the streets you will need two elevators to access the venue, may be tricky if you are not familiar with the venue. I highly recommend and will come back quite soon.
Had an amazing time at the club! A special shoutout to Amit for his outstanding service and super friendly attitude—he really went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. And Sapna was an incredible host with such a warm and vibrant personality—she truly made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Can’t wait to come back
What a perfect dine-in experience for us! Couldn't expect anything more from this place. As soon as you enter, you see some live and massive crabs ready to be cooked and some lovely interiors when you go further in to the seating area. The views from the seating area is brilliant and this definitely adds huge points to overall experience. This was followed by our order which included long island iced tea(4/5), the grilled Octopus with smoked paprika aioli(5/5), grilled scallops served with parmesan(5/5 - one of the best of the night), squid in linguine with langoustine(4/5 - presentation and look of it was fantastic and taste was decent too. The squid ink has a neutral taste), soft shell crab with lemon garlic sauce(5/5, no shell & all meat with some lovely sauce was another favorite of the night), the pistachio creme brule(5/5) and the chocolate mousse(5/5). In terms of service we were taken very good care of from start to end. Overall I can't find a single fault and was the perfect night out.
