    Soooo fun and soooo tasty! The place is packed for a good reason so make sure you make that reservation! The wait would have been worth it though. Everything tasted so good and there was a good chunk of leftovers so you definitely get your money's worth. The service was also attentive despite how busy they were on that Friday night. The garlic is definitely strong though so be ready for that!

    I've been to a handful of seafood boil places, mostly ones in Lakewood, and I never left impressed. I came here on a whim and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Three of us split two boils and it was more than enough food for us. For sauces we picked Cajun and Garlic Butter. All of my family love garlic, so we are definitely not going to complain about how garlicky both were. To our pallets, it was the perfect amount of garlic and spices. The seafood was really tasty, and the corn and potatoes served along side of them were cooked perfectly and absorbed the delicious sauces wonderfully. The service was attentive and friendly. I highly recommend and will be returning and as often as my wallet allows since it is a bit pricey.

    Ooooweee!!! Felt like I was back in Louisiana. The flavor in the boil was on point ! I can be a bit skeptical on seafood in a landlocked state like Colorado but their seafood was fresh! Service was on point ! Solid environment. I ordered the combo #4 boil with sausage included

    If you're looking for a Seafood Boil in Denver, THIS IS THE ONE! I say this emphatically because it was *that good*! Not a single mark missed on quality of service, experience, interior design or taste! Plus, based on my research for options, this is the best price point you can find in this category, with their most affordable boil option being just shy of $35. I ordered the Boil combo 3, which came with crab, shrimp, sausage, and the fixin's. We also ordered the fried oysters and hush puppies to start. Fair warning, portions are massive so you truly don't need appetizers if you get the combos, but we couldn't resist! As a coastal transplant, the crab and shrimp tasted fresh and were cooked perfectly. Plus, slathered in that house blend sauce, I'll be dreaming of this experience. I'll definitely be back to try their a la carte menu, especially the blue crab option!!

    Crawfish Spicy 2lbs. Corn  Potatoes and hard boiled eggs

    I was visiting for work and had a craving for seafood while catching the NBA playoffs. Before arriving, I found two spots near the downtown area that looked promising. I called both, and each assured me they had fresh crawfish. Admittedly, I was skeptical--after all, we're in the mountains and a mile above sea level. Still, their proximity and promise were enough to win me over. When I called CSCS, a young woman answered and confirmed they offered both fresh and frozen crawfish. Upon arrival, the atmosphere was inviting. The bar is well-stocked and spacious, and Game 6 was on--so far, so good. Located on a busy street, I didn't spot much parking, though I imagine options are nearby. There's plenty of bar seating and numerous tables, making it a great place for groups or casual get-togethers. As it turns out, the crawfish were frozen, not fresh, but I love crawfish enough to stick with it. I ordered 2 pounds--spicy--with corn, potatoes, and hard-boiled eggs, all tossed in their house blend sauce. The flavor was bold and garlicky--if you're a garlic lover, you'll be right at home. If you're planning to kiss someone afterward, maybe hold off. Even vampires would keep their distance! All jokes aside, the sauce was genuinely tasty. I personally prefer a bit more heat, but it was still flavorful and satisfying. Service from the young women working on the night of 5/15 was excellent--friendly, attentive, and quick. I washed it all down with a whiskey and a beer. Drinks are reasonably priced, which is always a plus. Overall, it was a good experience. If you're in the area, stop by and support local--that's exactly why I chose to eat here. I'm just holding back a higher rating due to the confusion about the crawfish being fresh. Transparency matters.

    I love a good seafood boil but this has got to be the best place I've ever been to! The staff were so nice and helpful and the overall vibe of the restaurant was so inviting. This place is definitely going into my monthly rotation of places to visit. Very high quality seafood and definitely on the more affordable side as well. Left incredibly satisfied after. You have to check it out! It's a great date night spot too if you're not afraid to get a little messy :)

    Party of 2

    Literally the best seafood boil in Denver, from the service, to the quality! The restaurant was very clean, and everyone was very very friendly. Not only were the flavors perfection but everything was cooked to perfection the shrimp? Slipped out of the shell the crab? Slipped out of the shell. The top of the crab was cleaned out so all of the meat was eatable. 10/10 could not reccomed more.

    Found this place just looking for a place to eat for my birthday. The food was great. The flavor was perfect! And the food was not over cooked and spice was perfect. The service was great had a party of 8 had to wait a bit for a big party since the place isn't big waitress was nice and order came out. Great display was busy but not crazy since there were only so much seating definitely going again!

    Crawfish, green mussels, sausage, clams, corn and Hush Puppies

    10/10 house sauce. Everything was delicious. We got medium spice and it was not too salty/spicy.

    Wow!!! This place is BOMB! The freshest crab I've had in Colorado, with delicious flavors and huge portions! Highly recommend this place on Colfax! The service was amazing; Nitha was great and the vibes we cozy!

    Crab, shrimp and crawfish boil combo
    Danielle H.

    I ordered through Yelp/Doordash and it did not disappoint. The food was ready by the time I got there it was all ready and you pay through the app, so it was super quick and convenient. I loved the fact they had so many different options that you could choose from, some even having three combos. My personal favorite being the crab legs, crawfish and shrimp. If I wasn't eating alone have totally preferred to eat in the restaurant, they have big bay windows to keep things from getting smelly and hot plus the decor was so fun. I will definitely come back again; everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. Only thing I wish they would have included in the to go order would be lemons, gloves and a bib. Overall, 4/5 stars. Hoping to make it a full 5 stars after I eat in the restaurant and get the full experience.

This restaurant is in the heart of Cherry Creek and as such, is in a really nice area. The building is beautiful and clean. The decor is tasteful and attractive. The food is absolutely amazing. I had a Connecticut lobster roll and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My Pinot Grigio was chilled and went with my meal perfectly. The only drawback to this place is the parking is terrible. It's drive around for twenty minutes looking for a spot a block away or pay to valet your car. The key lime pie was world class.

I will say for the oyster deal it has been good, but sometimes the oysters aren't cleaned well. Again a hit and miss. The ambiance is nice and soothing, very ocean blue. We have also tried some sides and other entrees. The shrimp entree was good but lacked some salt. The burger was amazing with the bacon jam and always have the best shoestring fries. I also got an order of the crispy rice that has a salmon and a tuna. The salmon was way too sweet and had a fishy aftertaste that I disliked. The truffle tuna was definitely the better one of the two. However, the rice itself was absolutely mushy and not necessarily crispy. It also didn't have the best flavor. Desserts tried were the olive oil orange cake and the brownie. both are OK and nice and sweet, but not something I would spend money on Overall, truly think this place is a hit and miss. Just depends on the night.

We arrived at 6 PM for our reservation, got seated around 6:15 PM, and didn't get dessert served until about 9:15 PM. Be prepared to spend at least 3 hours here. The complimentary bread was actually really good -- soft on the inside with a crispy exterior. For appetizers, we ordered the crab and spinach dip and the roasted oysters. Both were flavorful, filling, and probably the best part of the meal. For my entree, I got the Pasta Mardi Gras. The portion size was generous, but the dish was SO salty. The shrimp tasted heavily coated in salt, and the sausage was honestly too salty to eat. I drank 3 glasses of water during dinner because of how salty the food was. We finished with the turtle fudge brownie dessert. The chocolate flavor was rich, but the brownie itself was very dense and hard to spoon through. What also stood out was that the table next to us made a scene about the long wait and ended up receiving a discount. Considering everyone seemed to be waiting just as long, it would've been fair if all tables that night had received some kind of accommodation. Overall, I don't think the quality of the dining experience, service and food reflects the cost of the bill.

We changed that yesterday. We were trying to think of a new place to go try and the crab House popped into our thoughts. And we're so glad we went! The server who I can only imagine is probably the owner, man she is a hustler! This woman runs the whole place without leaving a single person unattended. We came in after lunch and before dinner so it was a little quiet in there when we came, but you could tell this is just how she does things. The food was fresh. It wasn't salty which we kind of expected. The prices were very reasonable and we're glad we don't have to go all the way to Denver to get this type of food anymore. Coming from Illinois we had a quite a few of these types of places near where we lived, but we don't have a lot of Cajun seafood here in Colorado. I was very happy to find something that wasn't terribly far from home, was clean, and the food was delicious! If I can give any critique, I wish the shrimp was just a little fresher.
