Went twice. Food was delicious everytime. Didn't know they had grill options till our second time there. But the grilled halibut was soon good. Will definitely be going back.

I came here for dinner on Wednesday night and had a great time. I tried the sourdough and butter, salmon chowder, crab stuffed mushroom and crab scampi. Everything was delicious. The sourdough tasted amazing and fresh. The salmon chowder was delicious as well and it was full of vegetables. The crab stuffed mushroom mushroom was cheesy and tasty. Lastly, the crab scampi was one of the most delicious pasta. To drink, I tried the white sangria, which was very refreshing. The restaurant was located near the ferry in a very touristy spot but it is evident that it’s very popular seeing how full it was. The service was good, although there was some confusion about an order on the table. However; when she learned that I was sharing the pasta, she offered to serve it in two plates, which made the sharing easier. The decoration in the restaurant makes it unique and they have humorous souvenirs. If you’re in Seattle, this is definitely one of the restaurants to try.

Visited family in Seattle on a Sunday and this place was the only one that was left open in tourist area until 9 PM. It did not disappoint in having really good seafood. The portions were generous, and the staff is really nice. My dad is handicapped and they made sure to get us a good table for him to sit with his scooter. Our whole party was satisfied with our food. I recommend : Halibut tacos Scampi Fish and chips The food was very fresh and I love the theme. Great place for tourist to come and enjoy the fresh Washington seafood and views.

Friends of ours recommended this place. I do appreciate them, really. ATMOSPHERE: Located in the Miners Landing mall. It's a huge restaurant with indoor and enclosed outdoor seating. The only view is from the outdoor-like seating of the service sidewalk, and a moored ship bobbing up and down in its slip. FOOD: Sourdough Bread The standard free stuff. Came to the table hot, crunchy & chewy. Delicious! Alaskan Combo King, dungeness, and snow crab legs, head-on shrimp, clams, mussels, andouille sausage, corn on the cob and red potatoes steamed with a very mild salt flavor and paprika. The crabs were good, but the king tasted the best. The clams were super tiny and tasted okay. The shrimp and andouille sausages had no flavor. We're not a fan of mussels so they went uneaten (and you can't substitute.) The corn was good and there were way too many potatoes. Comes with warm butter for dipping. They have a minimum of 2 orders for all combos. The bucket of food gets dumped onto your table then the bucket is placed on the floor for your trash. You're given a wooden board, mallet, and bib to engage in your mission. SERVICE: We walked in without a reservation but got seated immediately. Our male server was friendly and pretty attentive. OVERALL: I'm coming to the realization that I'm over the table-dumping messiness, table-pounding, and sub-par seafood accompaniments like andouille sausage, mussels, and potatoes, in order to get my seafood fix on. From now on, it'll be strictly crab on a plate, and a shell cracker. Thank you.

This restaurant has been on my Seattle "bucket list" of things I wanted to do before I move this summer. The service was beyond amazing! Very friendly and right there with drink refills and such. It's a very cute restaurant. Now let's get to the food. We ordered the Sea Feast for 2, the special that was on the table tent. The food is presented in a fun and classic seafood boil, pouring the food directly on a sheet of paper on the table, they give you a wood board and a little wood malet (crab wacker) and let you go at it. It was super fun! I want to give the food a higher review, as the seasoning was lovely, the potatoes, corn and andouille sausage were all cooked perfectly, this is where the issue lays, because the seafood is cooked at the same time, this overcooked the crab and lobster as they have different cook times. It was a bit expensive and after tip the check was over $200 for2 people. I still say it was money well spent and a lovely place for us to celebrate the purchase of our new house. Our server was super sweet and I would consider going back just because of her.
