Aqua Boil

We shared the Mad Ocean Combo and chose shrimp, snow crab legs, crawfish, mussels, and a whole lobster with the Cajun Mix sauce at medium spice—everything came out dumped straight on the table with corn and potatoes underneath, classic style. Portions were generous (we couldn’t finish), the seafood was fresh, and the sauce was flavorful without being overly salty. The snow crab was easy to peel, the lobster claw meat was pretty full, and the corn soaked up the sauce nicely. We also ordered the Aqua Roll, which was more filling than expected with a good amount of shrimp and lobster, plus two cocktails—Beach Bum was more fruit-forward than the Piña Colada.

The food was beyond expectation, we had the lobster and the crab by the pound with lemon garlic and cajun spice sauces respectively. Great portions, the sauces were amazing. You might need to dip the meat well into the meat to get all flavors as initially they just have the seafood boiled and kept on top of the sauce. I would go there again whenever I am in NY next.

Hands down the most satisfying seafood boil I’ve had in NYC! 🦀🔥 The Cajun mix was insanely flavorful, perfectly coating the fresh lobster, snow crab legs, shrimp, crawfish, and clams — every bite was messy in the best way. The fun, hands-on experience and coastal vibe at Aqua Boil make it a must-visit in Hell’s Kitchen!

Came here with my mom during restaurant week and had such an amazing experience!! The food was delicious and service was exceptional! Our server Zom was so sweet and took the time to explain the menu to us. I will definitely be coming back here!

Clean, efficient and friendly service plus really good food! Got shrimp & crab legs plus sausage and corn in a boil - potatoes are already included. Cajun mix seasoning was bomb - perfect at medium spice level and the garlic noodles are a must get as well. Highly recommend!

This was good but not the best seafood boil I’ve ever had. I would still go back and had a good time there. I really liked the aesthetic of the place. The corn ribs were very tasty. I’m not sure how the price compares to other places in NYC but it was pricier than what I am used to in the LA area.

The seafood was awesome! The service was exceptional. They had house music playing in the background. There were lots of boil meal options because you can select your seafood, your seasoning and level of spicy.

I had a bold, spicy, and seriously tasty seafood boil at Aqua Boil. The flavors were definitely on the addictive side—messy, punchy, and totally satisfying. What really stuck with me though? The clam chowder served in a bread bowl that was literally the size of a human head. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and filled with rich, creamy chowder—it was impossible not to dig in.

Cozy establishment. Cajun flavor was good. We ordered the Mad Ocean Combo and added Lobster. The seafood is served on a platter and it got cold really quick.

Was in the mood for a sea boil or po' boy but the usual place we go to was close. Daughter found one near our house on 9th Avenue, and must admit we were a little apprehensive about trying a new place. The place was packed so couldn't grab a table to eat so we took it home. We ordered two shrimp po' boys and one shrimp basket with regular fries and one shrimp basket with Cajun fries. When we got home and opened the box of the po' boys - OMG THE SMELL WAS MOUTH WATERING. That first bite was speechless, look at my wife and said oh yeah. It was DELICIOUS!!!! The shrimp was nice and tender and not overcooked. The sauce was magical. The veggies were smooth. And the bread - thick, toasted and absorbed the sauce to make elevate to a wow. I ate mine and I was eyeing my wife's because I wanted more but she ate it too. Daughter loved her baskets. The Cajun fries were good too but nothing like that po' boy. Want to go back and sit there to eat. I recommend the things I got because they hit the spot and keep you wanting more. Plus, it's filling and will have you set for a few long hours on it. Go get those po' boys!

Went for lunch: We had a reservation but it was empty when we went on a Friday at noon. I got mild cajun style with crawfish and corn, it was great! Sauce was slightly tangy however I do wish there was more to cover all the seafood. My bf got a lychee margarita and they have happy hour M-F 12-6 $9 drinks. Lychee margarita was nice and strong, and came with a lychee. Definitely decent! They give a generous amount of potatoes which come with the seafood (sides such as corn or sausage are an added cost) which I loved! The andouille sausage was good, more on the thinner side rather than a thick cut sausage. Service was great, very attentive and we had our shell bucket emptied rather quickly once it was full. At lunch the music is not too loud, I was still able to hold conversation and hear my bf. Overall, a decent seafood boil spot, lunch is pretty empty but I'm sure this place is busy for dinner!

The tables were very tightly packed which is not really ideal for this kind of food - where you need to go all in with your hands. And to add to the inconvenience, a two-person table was also very small for two servings of boil, a drink and the dump bucket. Not sure how you'd manage with more food on a small surface like this. Service however, was good. Coming to the food: - Whole Lobster boil with the medium-spice Cajun-mix Sauce (3/5) - good flavors but could have been spicier than what was described to me, and the lobster was cooked well for the most part - occasionally encountered overdone sections. The lobster as a whole however didn't seem to have been cleaned well as I could see gunk inside it which thorough cleaning would have solved. - Crab Legs and Shrimp Combo with the same seasoning/sauce (3/5) - the shrimp was plump and cooked well, but again, not thoroughly cleaned... The price of this combo was also $20 more than advertised on their website so be warned. Overall just an okay experience. Had the seafood been cleaned better and the table been more spacious, it could have been a much better experience. Both of us came out with slight digestive issues, nothing serious, at the end of the meal, so something was questionable about the quality of the food.

Delicious!! I look forward to going back to AQUA BOIL, on Ninth Avenue, between 50th and 51st Streets. I enjoyed a SEAFOOD BOIL OF one pound of Snow Crab Legs ($38), (Aug 2025) which comes with potatoes. I chose the "CAJUN MIX SAUCE", and I wanted it mild. You can select how spicy you would like it. So, the menu guides you in 3 steps to order your chosen seafood boil. You may add other sides to your boil, too. Your seafood boil is brought to your table in a clear plastic bag. Your sauce is mixed in with your selected seafood boil. You are provided with A BIB, plastic gloves, a scissors, and other utensils you will need to enjoy your seafood. I did ask for a "picker"--the thing to pick the seafood out of a small space. And a plastic lined beautiful bucket, --reminded me of a champagne bucket-- is brought to your table and this is where you put the seafood shells. The shocker for me, and my friend, was that you are not given a plate LOL, no plates. I was not used to that. But, it helps the environment because you are not using water to clean the plates, and, I am guessing that perhaps it may also help to keep restaurant costs down, so that would be good too. Your seafood boil bag acts as your plate. There is a white paper tablecloth on your table. Our seafood tasted fresh and delicious!! My friend enjoyed her pound of shrimp (head off). She had the Cajun Mix Sauce in a medium spice level. She enjoyed it. Our service was nice and friendly. The restaurant is light and airy. The natural light comes in. There is a clean, unisex bathroom. AQUA BOIL has a nice menu, including lobster rolls, soups, Mac 'n cheese, and fabulous looking huge boils, with a beautiful variety of seafoods, including lobster. A table near us had the huge seafood combo boil, and it looked FANTASTIC!!! See my photos. Next time, I'll take more photos of my seafood boil...Because this time I was very hungry, and could not wait to get started with my snow crab legs, and once those gloves are on, I am not taking them off during my DELICIOUS meal. LOL I do not answer my phone when I'm involved with a seafood boil !! And, you won't want to either! The gloves stay on!! LOL. You can put all phones away!! Enjoy your meal. Savor the meal. :) I'm sure I uttered 'THIS IS SO GOOD' during my meal. :). I look forward to my next visit. I can tell you, I was thinking about, and craving, that yummy seafood boil, that yummy Cajun Mix SAUCE for days after. I look forward to going back to AQUA BOIL. Very soon!! (I might go today!! For real)

Some dishes were great, while others were just meh. The food is a bit overpriced for the ambience and the restaurant's approach. The staff was really kind, fast, and friendly.

The food is good, the service is fast, but ambiance is hectic. They blast electronic music so loudly that you can't hear yourself think, nonetheless hear yourself eating. The turnaround is fast so you don't have to wait long. I'm impressed by how quickly they can churn out food, but it's minimal cleaning because you wear gloves, everything is served on disposable ware (gloves, paper plate, bib, table paper covering, etc.). The crawfish were small, but it's because it wasn't particularly crawfish season. The 1lb crawfish + 1lb shrimp combo is enough for two people ($40). It comes with potatoes, but you have to add corn or other items on the side.

Ok, Now this Aqua Boil was sooooo good. The food fresh and Tom our host had the drinks on and poppin. The service was great and ambiance was a very nice cool setting. I do recommend Aqua Boil. Come and try if for yourelf

Social media food influencers brought me here and IMO this place is overhyped. Setting: Nautical-themed decor with café seating and a small bar. The atmosphere had a rushed energy, with music playing in the background. Staff: The staff was kind but seemed rushed and a bit nervous. No one checked in with me while I was dining, which felt impersonal. Food: I got a crab leg boil. The portion size was underwhelming. They had to clarify for me that "two claws" didn't actually mean two full claws. It ended up being one full claw with five legs and a second with only three to four legs--odd and a bit disappointing. Shrinkflation, maybe? The potato was overcooked, and the garlic sauce had a heavy, chalky dairy taste that I didn't like. Drink: My lemon drop was basic. I've had better. Online, the plates looked overflowing and generously portioned--definitely influencer treatment. What I got felt average, even mediocre by comparison. I came, I saw.

My family and I visited this restaurant over the weekend, and everything was absolutely delicious! My daughters dad recommended it since he is a regular, and I can confidently say this place did not disappoint. The service was exceptional--thank you, Perry and Bell; they were the sweetest! The vibe was relaxed, and they played a great playlist. For an appetizer, I ordered the crab cake, which was fantastic! My daughter had a 3-pound seafood boil and ordered garlic noodles, which were incredibly tasty. The boom boom shrimp had a nice kick and was really good. My husband and I were craving catfish, so we ordered the catfish sliders, and they were amazing! The catfish was perfectly seasoned and crispy. Oh, and they have happy hour every day--yes, every day! I'm definitely going back because the food was delicious, and the service was outstanding!

Love this spot - we find ourselves regularly going back. Quick service and the different levels of spice are great. Try their pasta, it's worth it.

Delicious every time without fail. Quick and easy and fresh. Service is fine, nothing to write home about, but more than adequate. It's not much for ambiance, but that's my overall experience at the crab house. Still deliciousness I'll still be back

Let's start with the fact they offer happy hour 7 days a week! $9 martinis, margaritas, wine, etc. We ordered seafood boil, and catfish basket. The food is really good! The time we went, the place was pretty empty and the service was quick.

I love a good seafood boil, and Aqua Boil's got the ticket! Unbeknownst to me, we came during restaurant week. I'm not a dessert/sweets person so ordered a la carte from the menu (1 lb each of mussels and head-on shrimp + a fried calamari appetizer), while some of my group opted for the RW menu. We were pleased to see that the RW portions were the same as the regular orders, not a smaller size like at some restaurants. This is how it goes: you pick your choice of seafood(s), sauce flavor, and heat level. They bring you a bib and a bucket, and you get ready to get messy! The Cajun sauce is AMAZING! I asked for the highest spice level, raging hot (5 fire emojis!), and they delivered. It was pretty damn spicy but did not obscure the taste. This bonafide spicehead approves. I might have even teared up a little. I absolutely recommend getting the shrimp, which are large and plump - 1 lb is about a dozen shrimp (heads on, which is the only way to eat them in a boil IMO). Unfortunately the mussels were rather anemic and stringy on my visit. My friends variously ordered crawfish (good but not the meatiest), lobster, whole dungeoness crab, and snow crab legs in various sauces, and were pleased with their meals. My eyes were bigger than my stomach, so I took some food home, but I'd say 1-2 lbs of seafood are sufficient, depending on your appetite. There are some potatoes included in the boil bag. Service was diligent but the one waitress on the floor was very busy and working hard. So attentiveness was a bit lacking (like no automatic refill of waters) but when we needed something they always brought it.

It's very good seafood in here. The service was great I recommend get the combo special seafood 5lb so good don't forget to get something to drink

Came on a Tuesday nite with a 530pm reservation. It was just the 2 of us. At 530 it was empty; maybe 3 tables only. The hostess guy and the waitress conversed a bit and seem to struggle with where to put us despite we had a reservation and despite the restaurant being empty. They then shuffled a few tables then decided to squeeze us in a 90 degree cornered wall where we would be sitting in a L formation and each of us facing a different wall. Why do stingy with the table?.....Perhaps you'd like us to stand and eat instead? Of course I spoke up and requested another table. Now on to the food; We knew from the other reviewers to stay far away from their shrimps.. We got; Lobster Mac N Cheese ~ Terrible. Never mind the lobster was rubbery it was also extremely fishy and stinky not fresh. The Mac N cheese itself was dry dry dry. The crumble was just floating on the top. Gross lobster aside, how does one screw up on a Mac N cheese but this place accomplished the impossible. . Softshell crab basket 2 deep-fried softshell crab on top of Cajun fries. The crab was pretty good. a bit on the small side and oily side but flavor was good. Cajun fries was fine. Boil... Our first choice was Dungeness crab; they were out. We got snow crab instead. It was good. We got it with the Cajun sauce spicy and the spice level was good. Wish them the best of luck but definitely would not return. ....and p.s. when we left around 7 it was still empty with plenty of of empty tables..

My go-to for seafood boils in Manhattan. They are so filling. Staff is friendly. Drinks are good whether alcoholic or not. Price is pretty good as they also have happy hour AND lunch specials. This spot is pretty much a hidden gem

I LOVE a good seafood boil so I had to check out this place after reading all the raving reviews. Upon arriving, they were able to seat our large party almost immediately which was nice. The inside was cutely decorated even though the place wasn't too big. Service was fast and timely. Unfortunately, the seafood was not up to par at all. The crawfish was bitter, the mussels were just shells (only a few had meat), and the sauce was very lacking in quality and quantity. We all left unsatisfied with the flavors which was a shame since this place had such good reviews!

I purchased snow, crab, and head of shrimp boil to go. I'm sorry, but I have a problem with shrimp not being clean. I don't like having shrimp with the digestive track still attach. So it was a total turn off for me and wasn't able to fully enjoy my meal.

Really great food! Go with the Lobster Mac! Crab cake was a little dry, but still tasty!

ive been here twice now and feel like i can trust this place to consistently deliver solid seafood boil! ive only had the head-on shrimp and crawfish and both are good but I prefer the shrimp. I also prefer the garlic butter over the cajun mix. The waitstaff are attentive and friendly and love the $6 drinks. also a big plus that its very clean and I can eat and leave without feeling like i smell the rest of the day.

Very cute place with awesome Happy Hour drink specials! Even the regular drinks on the menu looked like they'd be DELICIOUS and right up my alley, but $6 Mango and Peach margaritas were hard to pass up. Me and my girlie split a 1lb snow crab leg and 1lb shrimp combo. Something to note, though the menu says "head-on" for the shrimp, the waitress offered a head-off option for just a $1 more. SCORE. We also split a clam chowder pasta, something I've never had before, but I loved the concept. A little salt and pepper at the table to add to it would have been boss, but the sauce from the crab and shrimp boil was DELICIOUS (we got the garlic butter though the waitress highly recommended the cajun mix). Staff was super attentive, checked in on us regularly, you get plastic bibs, wet naps, gloves, all that. The boil itself comes in a transparent plastic bag that they set on the table for you. Also, the bathroom in the back is nice and big and clean. We got there around 5:30 and it was pretty empty, but by the time we left 2-3 hours later, it was packed. I would 100% come back here because the happy hour is priced CRAZY good, the drinks are strong and tasty, and I still need to try more stuff like the cajun fries and lobster roll!

Great Cajun seafood boil! Got the 1lb crawfish + 1lb shrimp combo with potato, corn, and garlic bread. The crawfishes were a bit too small for my liking but everything was great. Highly recommend getting the garlic bread as an add on and dipping into the sauce.

Smaller portions than expected. It seemed awkward when we entered, not sure why but all of our drinks were served in plastic including cocktails. The $23 fried seafood basket and $58 boil didn't seem generous or enough to share between 3 people. Manhattan prices, we get but at least supplement with good energy and serving sizes

Came on Sunday evening during the Labor Day holiday weekend, and there were a few tables left when we arrived. The tables are pretty close to each other. We ordered some crab legs, fries and a soda; the food came out within 10 minutes. The seasoning is ok, nothing special, but the crab was bland as it was not in the seasoning long enough. Also, might just be a personal thing, but we were only given one cracker for two people, and no picks but plastic forks, which made it a struggle to get the meat out of the thin legs. For a total of $80 before tip, we felt just ok from our experience here, food-wise. Service was good.

Aqua boil is one of the few Cajun boils open for brunch and probably the only one with an all day happy hour on the weekends. My friends and I stopped by without a reservation on a Sunday around 1pm when they opened. We got a corner seat by the door for our party of 5 and started with a round of happy hour drinks. I wanted a Cajun boil with head off shrimp, mussels and clams and found out that they didn't do a mix of sauces like the other Cajun spots. If I mixed sauces it would've been an extra $3 per sauce, but if I ordered each item as a separate boil, I can then pair them with different sauces. This concept made no sense to me but that's the route we went. I got the mussels in tom yum, the shrimp in garlic butter, and the clams in lemon pepper. I also ordered a side of andouille sausage and spaghetti to mix in the boil. When the 3 bags arrived, I combined them together. The boils were flavorful and spicy just how I wanted it. Spaghetti is one of my must haves for Cajun boils because I love the way it soaks up all the sauces and it definitely didn't disappoint. Overall the food was good but the service and prices could be better. We had to flag down our waiter multiple times for drinks, water, napkins, etc. I would definitely return for their $6 happy hour drinks.

Aqua Boil is under new ownership and with that came an updated menu with updated prices. They have removed the half pound options. Either you order a full pound of something or a combo that still consists of a pound of each item. If you aren't able to eat a full pound of anything, it becomes wasteful and it also limits your food options. With the new menu also came a 50% price increase which is excessive. Their crab and shrimp combo is now approximately $20 more expensive than the average boil with that combination. They have also removed corn from the boil but you can add it for a premium! Happy hour went from $6 to $9. While the new employees are still wonderful, unfortunately the obvious price gouge is way too much.

The catfish filets we ordered were very small and mostly batter. The shrimp were OK but they weren't fried as i expected but just steamed with the shell still on. The biggest disappointment was the clam chowder. It was mostly devoid of clams and for $10 for an 8 oz portion was not worth it.

If you're craving seafood boil in NYC, this is the place to go! We came in on an early friday evening and were able to get seated without a wait. We had the seafood boil combo with shrimp, crawfish, and clams. The seafood was fresh and well seasoned with cajun. We also had the fried soft shell crab, which was nicely fried without too much breading. It came with fries which were great for dipping in the cajun seasoning. The place is fairly casual, and has some nice happy hour drinks. Can't wait to come back!

AMAZING crawdads! I'm from the south & they tasted like mom's! The Cajon sauce on the side was delicious & the corn & potatoes were really traditional!! THANK YOU chief ! JoDe

Aqua boil has become a must-have seafood on the weekends for my family and me. You can't beat the prices and the food is absolutely amazing. Their consistency is very much appreciated. Their service is always top-notch as well, it's the same familiar faces that work there. Everyone is hospitable and knowledgeable about the menu. Perry is one of the fan-favorites she always has a contagious smile and she greets us at the door. She checks on us always without being overbearing. If you are looking for well-season seafood and great service with good prices please stop here, Oh and their happy hour is fire!

Great seafood choices! Clams and seafood were big. It was flavor and the service was good.

Knowledge access when beauty lives think meaning, have a moment to introduce yourself as a interest customer. Like the location, thought about reviewing the restaurant, made reservation. Had a clam Had clam chowder, it reminded me of fresh food, it was very hot. I thought abut the spoon when think I eat with the spoon differently and that's why it's colder eating one way that scolding my way I eat with the spoon, oh that's cool. Formed a little interest to the others, I felt included and could be apart of the ambiance that was hype. Music was beautiful, I have yet to know the lyrics, I heard others singing. The waiter was knowledgeable about catering to my needs, I just don't like water already on the table or to have quickly, if you know what that is like. Have been here only once, it was beauty's most kept gem. Had a moment, felt like The Weekend with being a little known customer. Overall I liked the Clam-chowder, had nothing and it came with a funky mint. Check and bill was done quickly or made it a highlight of the experience, my needs were met with insightfulness. Had made a quick visit with reservation from 4:15, I was 16 minutes late and was out in 15 minutes.

Not my first time coming to this amazing spot, but decided to leave a review this time since it was such an amazing experience. I was having a mini panic attack on this day attempting to find a spot that delicious and open (Labor Day Problems) and remember this spot that we came to for my birthday last year. I was so pleased to find reservation for the day of, and even more please to be seated earlier... especially since I was STARVING. Now this is my first time reviewing but let me tell you their menu is top tier. The sauce is KEY, whew I would drink their cajun sauce that sit in the bottom of the broil, it just that good. Mac and cheese is delish as well. Now hunny, if you coming here for happy hour... UBER is a must. The drinks are strong but taste so good and secretly get you "lit." Def a spot to come have a few drinks on a nice summer night. BTW they have specials and their happy hour is extended hours so check them out! Love Love Love ... and Deff will be back again.

Aqua Boil is one of the best Cajun seafood spots I have been to in Manhattan. Each time I've visited, the restaurant is super crowded. Even with a reservation, there's often a short wait. Service here is very efficient and staff are attentive. The restaurant is bright with a reasonable amount of seating and the vibe is fun. My group usually gets some combination of shrimp, whole lobster, and snow crab legs with spicy garlic butter and/or cajun mix. The seafood has always been very fresh. You can't go wrong with adding corn, potatoes, and andouille sausage. The cajun fries are solid and surprisingly, I really enjoyed the New England Clam Chowder even though I'm not the biggest fan of clams. The soup is very buttery, but not overly heavy and comes with a side of oyster crackers. If you're a seafood lover, I definitely recommend trying Aqua Boil.

The setting was very relaxing and enjoyable. Customer service was excellent--friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and perfectly seasoned. I really appreciated the cleanliness of the place and the fact that everything was served with plastic utensils, which added a neat, hygienic touch. The drinks were great too. Overall, a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!

As a frequent visitor to this restaurant, I was disappointed at the experience today. The service was slow, and we had to ask two different servers before getting water. We got the 1lb shrimp and 1lb crawfish combo with the garlic butter sauce. When we asked the server if we could add some spices to it as it wasn't too flavorful, she responded, "That would be $4 for the extra sauce". Well, the funny thing was, we went over to Shaking Crab after this meal, and the restaurant there offered us the additional Cajun sauce to try on the house. The crawfish here was much smaller than the ones at Shaking Crab, and everything felt like an uncharge. If you do end up here, get the soft shell crabs basket! The happy hour here is not bad.

The service is excellent. The staff provided outstanding service capabilities. Their kitchen excels and their service team consistently impresses. This place welcomes friendly gatherings. The menu works perfectly for friend gatherings.

I usually only leave reviews when I'm happy with the service. But the service here was deplorable. I ordered a lobster roll and it was cold and didn't come with any dipping sauces. After paying for and receiving my food I was told I couldn't dine in. I was also ignored by waiters when it was time to take my order. I never in my life experienced such service at a food establishment. On the other hand the seafood broil smelled delicious and might have been way better choice than my lobster roll. Shame on the host/ server Bas for not waiting for me to put my pin in and administering any hospitality, sighs I hope I'd be able to try again and get better service bc I love seafood and this restaurant is 2 blocks away from my house. But I don't even know if it's worth it.

I don't know if this place is known in NYC since I was just visiting but the food was iiincredible! I was so surprised by the flavor. If this place isn't popular in NYC it needs to be. I got the lobster sandwich and my husband got the catfish poboy. I also got a side of the garlic butter sauce and almost passed out when I took a bite. If it sounds like I'm being dramatic I am, it was 10/10. The lobster in my sandwich literally tasted like they picked the lobster from the ocean somewhere, and I've had my share of chewy lobster. My husband's catfish was perfectly lightly fried. Sometimes you go to places that over-fry the fish, but not here. My husband also got a Caesar salad.. best Caesar salad dressing I've had and I order Caesar salad almost everywhere I go. No joke. Just look at the pics of our food! The ambiance was cute, it was small so I can't imagine what it's like when it's packed, we went at a time where it was just us and 3 other tables. Service was great, the food came out fast. We will most definitely be back the next time we're in NYC!

Food: I ordered the lobster roll - cold and the seafood boil - pound of snow crab with a broccoli add-on. The lobster roll and the broccoli were my favorite parts. I ordered a glass of Prosecco and it was tasty. I will say that you cannot just order a half pound of seafood anymore. The server said the new menu policy is that you order a pound initially and then you may order additional items at the half pound weight. Service: Good. Our server was attentive. Our water was refilled without notice or delay. We were check in on several times. They gave us to go items and even packed the bags for us. Ambiance: Nice. We arrived around 4:30 on a Saturday and it was not very loud but not quiet. It became louder as we got further into the evening hours. By the time we left, the noise level was at full volume. Not a big deal though. Also the space is smallish, but you can comfortably sit at your table without bumping your chair into the person behind you. Overall: I plan to return with a different party and enjoy that lobster roll. It was so good!

All elements here reflect a clear vision for this restaurant. The chef clearly values appearance as much as taste. My group provided the entertainment, and the restaurant staff was professional. Staff members always ask if you need anything. This restaurant's employees deliver quality service.

I started writing this review a long time ago. I don't remember why I put a 3 stars only. All I know is that it must've been valid for that one time. So you don't have to use my review. Lol but it wouldn't get out of the system so I had to finish it. Ha ha.

Hands down my new favorite seafood boil spot in NYC! They offer a fantastic selection of bites, and their happy hour deal is unbeatable. Monday to Thursday, $6 margaritas, martinis, wine, and beer; and Friday to Sunday, all those drinks are $6 before 7pm. We started with a variety of sides--the Mac and cheese was incredibly cheesy, the lobster roll was generously filled with meat, and most sides were smothered in garlic sauce. If you're a garlic lover like me, you will love this spot. We also tried the garlic and thai sauces on the side--dipping garlic bread into the garlic sauce is a must; literal heaven! For the seafood boil, we went with the mixed Cajun sauce, which was absolutely delicious. The seafood was fresh and flavorful. They have really great lunch specials so definitely check it out! Overall, an amazing experience with incredibly friendly staff.

10-14-2024. Their food is exceptional. I have ordered via Uber Eats and have visited the establishment numerous times and their service has never failed. I always order the Dungeness crab, crawfish, king crabs, and garlic bread. A few times I have opted to try other things noodles etc and was definitely great. It is definitely worth the trip from the east side. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures.

Food, service, and environment were all great! We got the Cajun seafood combo with a whole crab and crawfish with some sides thrown in and it was delicious! The crawfish especially seemed very fresh and easy to peel. The sauce was also quite flavorful. It was thicker and a bit saltier than sauces we've had before in seafood boils, but we still enjoyed it a lot! Also got some of their $6 margaritas which were great as well! Would come back again for sure!

OMG this place is amazing! Everything was so great, we got their fries which where perfectly crispy, the jambalaya which was our least favorite but still decent just a little dry, it had a really nice kick to it though, and the Caesar salad. A bit too much dressing but great size and flavor. For a boil we got their shrimp and lobster in lemon pepper and the shrimp and crab in Cajun. The lemon pepper was so much better than I expected! We went during restaurant week so three courses for $60 which was amazing! A whole lobster on their menu is $58 alone and this was $60 and came with a whole lobster, shrimp, an appetizer, and dessert. They were out of flan so the only dessert option was a scoop of ice cream but everything was great overall.

Tiny place in Hell's Kitchen area. The food was okay, good for a unique experience, but you can find better options for that price.

i've never had boil in my life despite being from maryland. i usually eat my crabs steamed with light old bay, so as a non saucy person I was a little wary of boils. I tried this spot with a friend on a whim after a workout and it was the perfect post workout meal! filling, flavorful, but not over the top. We shared the 1 lb of crab and 1 lb of shrimp with the cajun butter sauce, and a basket of fries and popcorn chicken. all was amazing and we couldn't even finish the fries. I'd def be back.
