The staff are super friendly! Crab legs were very meaty! Garlic noodles were perfectly seasoned and sinfully garlicy. Mussels were mostly large and meaty. Cherry stone clams were also big size and had no sands in them. We opted for the mild original sauce. It was tasty and not too oily with too much butter. Very happy with our seafood boil selection of shrimp, calamari, mussel and clams!
