    What a great first experience we had. We were seated right away and were asked if we would like to be seated in the front or in the quieter more private back area. The service was great and very attentive. We both had the all you can eat crab legs and there was no wait in-between each plate, it was 2 clusters each round. Fresh and Hot. Server came multiple times to clean up and to make sure what else we needed. She was fantastic and she will be the reason we return to the restaurant.

    Crab was cooked to perfection! Not to see much in the way of flavor or presentation but definitely perfected crab.
