Food Quality and Taste

Pros:

  • "The flavors were nothing short of amazing, with the perfect balance of spiciness that left my taste buds tingling with delight."
  • "The food tasted so good we ordered an extra bag to take home at the end of our visit!!!!!"
  • "The seafood boil was an absolutely incredible experience."
  • "The prawns and lobster tail were meaty and cooked lovely."

Cons:

  • "The crab clusters were inconsistent, the potatoes were tiny, and the prawns and lobster tails were mushy."
  • "The sauce was added after the food was cooked so didn’t take on the flavour."
  • "The crab was a bit redundant as it had barely any meat inside the legs."
  • "The food itself was very disappointing. The shrimp were well over cooked and disintegrated."

Service and Staff

Pros:

  • "The service we received was exceptional and they made us feel welcomed."
  • "Adam, our server, was an absolute gem. His warmth, attentiveness, and genuine helpfulness added an extra layer of enjoyment to the day."
  • "Staff were really welcoming and professional."
  • "The second waitress Brianna, was far more friendly and welcoming."

Cons:

  • "Customer service is absolutely poor. After bringing food to all tables, they just all disappeared again."
  • "Our first waitress seemed a bit frosty."
  • "The managers customer service skills were appalling. She patronised us and didn’t take our concerns seriously."
  • "The service was terrible through out the night - waited 20 mins for a drink, 40 for starters and an hour for the main."

Ambiance and Location

Pros:

  • "The restaurant had less than 10 tables which I really liked, cute and intimate."
  • "Atmosphere - amazing. Stunning decor, very clean."
  • "The venue was nice and chilled however just extremely hot in there."
  • "The music playlist was an added bonus!"

Cons:

  • "The place was hard to find, as there were no signs or anything."
  • "The location first of all was awful and quite a shock. It was a small room that needed decorating, bare walls and the flooring wasn’t done."
  • "It was hard to find as there was no sign outside. There was no flooring, just cracked stone and stickers on the unpainted walls."
  • "Music was loud, and I couldn't hear my partner well."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Totally worth the money!!! Never had seafood boil as tasty as we had here."
  • "The food amazing! 20 out of 10 for sure!!!"
  • "We found it to be good value for money and strongly recommend that people try it out!"
  • "It's a black owned establishment that clearly prides itself on being professional and providing good food."

Cons:

  • "Price is high £124 for the mukbang and extra mussels and lobster tail I ordered but it was worth every penny."
  • "It also didn’t feel like a lot of food for the price."
  • "The food is below average, not seasoned, and the sauce is very bland."
  • "The drinks were awfully overpriced. A small cup of lemonade (not even a 330ml cans worth - we checked), £3!"
