Wait staff and workers so nice. Started portions are small. Calamari good Snapper bland and tasteless King crab legs seems like just defrosted. Some bites cold and others warm. Crab was delishious. Just odd eating one hit bit and next cold.

Great dining experience, food and service. If you're driving and want to park on the street, I strongly recommend that you arrive around 30-45 minutes early. It's difficult to find a parking spot. We ended up valeting at $17.

Peel and eat shrimp were fresh and delicious. The sauce with extra horseradish was fantastic. Fried shrimp were butterflied and lightly battered and were very good. We ordered the 20 ounces of Alaskan king crab with garlic butter and regular butter. The garlic butter to me was too garlicky but that is a me thing. Overall great spot for some really good seafood, I wished I like oysters because they have a great set up for those.
