If you’re a seafood fan like me this place is a dream come true! I couldn’t get enough of the clams they were tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned and freshness. The seafood boil? A masterpiece! Every bite was packed with flavor, from the plump shrimp to the buttery corn and the perfectly cooked crab legs And the calamari was light and crispy. Overall, this spot delivers on quality, freshness, and taste. Whether you’re a seasoned seafood lover or just dipping your toes in, you’ll leave here completely satisfied. I’m already planning my next visit! Drinks are good and strong as well I didn’t get a picture of the boil because I dug right in
