Faris is so good at his job! He is fast and responsive and has an easy time making recommendations and getting refills! I tried the tiramisu this time and it was so so good! Snow crab and shrimp is always amazing!
The food was Amazing King Crab osyters, shrimp. Our sever Gabriel was so polite and helpful he made our family lunch date even better!
Amazing. Food was perfect. Service was amazing. Need I say more.
Plenty of food, fun atmosphere (you can write on the walls) reasonable priced, and flavorful! My husband and I ordered the #2 combo with garlic butter level 3 hot, delicious (pic is what we couldnt finish)! Stuffed jalapenos were ok, not spicy. Ordered a tiramisu, the cake was dry, but not bad. The utensils weren't the best quality, but got the job done. Maria our waitress was friendly and kind. Would definitely come back.
Quinny is such a great manager. She attended me and party very well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The food was amazing and did not disappoint!
This was my first time at a crab boil style restaurant and I was NOT disappointed. My biggest concern was making sure I wasn't forced to be served crawfish (terrifies me that I have to break apart a head from a body), and to my delight they have sooo many combo options that didn't include crawfish. We went for the Old Bay Butter seasoning with some hot spice, and everything was just delectable. We also enjoyed some very well seasoned crab cakes for an appetizer and some fresh cold tapped beers from the bar. The server did seem to run around a lot, as they had "now hiring" signs for waitstaff, but nonetheless we always had water and a pleasant smile.
Have to say these are the best oysters I have had in New Mexico hands down. And the seafood boil is just amazing. Get it spicy and make sure you have crab legs and shrimp with it. You won’t regret it.
You know you're in for a messy meal when you get a bib and gloves Awesome shrimp and scallops! Worth the mess! Highly recommend! Great service to ...
