This place is High ! But so worth it u get a ton of food !!! See pics ! Honestly a couple could share a bucket and it be plenty !! New favorite restraunt in Lexington for sure !

My daughter, my grandson and I went here for an early supper today. They weren't busy around 4pm. We asked our waiter about the soft shell crab before we ordered it. Not even a description was offered but we took a chance on it anyway . Had to send both our dinners back. It had a 2-in thick breading on it along with no taste whatsoever. So our waiter disappears and we didn't see him again for 10 minutes or more. They didn't charge us for the two meals but it was a terrible disappointment. We don't eat out that often but we won't be going back here. If you want good seafood go to Red lobster.

4 of us ate here last night for my husband’s birthday. It is kind of pricey. He love crab legs and was going to order that. He suggested the family meal which was $160! I was skeptical but when you look at all you get, why not. It was perfect. King crab, Dungeness crab, shrimp, lobster, sausage, corn, potatoes, awesome. We didn’t like the muscles, and we would suggest replacing them. I believe that is allowed. All total, with drinks we paid $200, but $50 each for a full great seafood dinner is pretty darn good. We will def go back. We ordered the Old Bay garlic butter/hot. Perfect amount of spice for us. The server, Mark, and the bar tender were great.

I stopped in for a carry out today. I ordered the shrimp and corn on the cobb. The shrimp did not have any seasoning and had too much breading. It was dry and crunchy. I was very disappointed with the preparation. However, the corn on the cobb was delicious. It was tender and sweet, like it was kissed by mother nature! Really good. The hostess was very nice and patient. She gave me a sample of the seafood bread. It was over the top delicious! I'll go back just for the bread!

This place was the first seafood boil we’ve tried in Lexington and it has been great. We don’t live in the Wellington area anymore but this is one place we stop by and grab some take out to visit the family. We love combo #6. I usually get about 2 combos for a group of 6 adult. I like the options and variety they offer. It’s a fun experience over all. Prices are on the higher end but it’s seafood boil so it’s nothing crazy for what it is. The seafood bread is definitely a crowd favorite for my family.

Our server tonight was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and helped us navigate our first time here. The oysters were awesome and we got a huge mix and match boil. Great portions and reasonable pricing for seafood in KY. We even took some home. We will definitely go back!!! Thank you!

Every time I come here the manager Sarah always gives excellent customer service! The care she has for her employees and her customers is amazing. Not too many managers care for their employees the way she does. She makes it to where the work environment in the restaurant is full of happiness and positive vibes. I did NOT see at least one waitress who has an attitude. They all showed that they are motivated, well driven to exceed the expectations of their customers. Everybody that works there is by far polite just like Sarah. Thank you Sarah for making our experience for a to-go order a fantastic time. Anybody who loves seafood I highly recommend you go there!!! Every employees hard work was recognized.

The seafood was exactly that. Seafood. There was more we didn't like than we did. I ordered the blue crabs and scallops. There was absolutely no seasoning (or flavor) on the potatoes, corn, or scallops. The blues were the smallest I've ever seen. My wife ordered snow crabs and a dozen oysters. The crabs were decent. She asked for plain oysters and they came out cajun. The manager was nice about it and replaced them. It wasn't totally a bad experience, but way too pricey for the quality of food.

So good!! It was my first time eating here. I ordered combo 4 with garlic butter seasoning and medium spice. The shrimp was delicious. Super reasonable prices for seafood. I definitely recommend.

Excited to try this place with a friend. Went for lunch and the place wasn’t busy. Very cool atmosphere! We ordered scallops and crab legs with a side of calamari. The scallops were flat and unappetizing. The crab legs hardly had any meat and the calamari looked like fish sticks (seriously weirdest texture ever)! The waitress seemed upset and barely spoke to us. Dumped the food and utensils on the table and left. Worst seafood place I’ve been to in a while. Will not be back.
