It was fun to pick out your own seafood boil, they had great price friendly options for everyone! You could customize it pick your own premade boils:) I got the Cajun medium, and LOVED it! I took it home and made it with pasta the next day as the server suggested, and loved it:) will be coming back for more!

The decorations in there are super cute - underwater / boats / sea life themed. They even had cool doors that looked like that of a ship. The place was very clean and well organized. Every table had a roll of paper towels which was much needed after handling the delicious seafood. We split the Luscious Special Boil (I believe) and it was the perfect amount for the 8 of us! They split it into 2 plates to split more easily and it was perfect! Everything had amazing flavor and we left satisfied. We will definitely be back! One note - if you have a larger group, make sure to call in for a reservation to ensure they can accommodate you.

I was on the hunt for a good lobster roll, and this spot did not disappoint! We visited and spent…read moresome time walking through the market, checking out all the cool things available before heading over to the café, which is located toward the left side of the market. The ordering process was quick and easy since there wasn't a long wait. I ordered the Connecticut Style Lobster Roll (around $36 before tax), and it was delicious! The portion was generous, the lobster was fresh and flavorful, and I definitely ate it way too fast because it was that good. My husband ordered The Coastal Burger and added bacon. It looked good, and he enjoyed it. We also shared some fries (which are ordered separately) and grabbed sodas from Northern Soda Company. Overall, we had a great experience. If you're looking for a satisfying lobster roll, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. I'd love to come back again and enjoy the patio space, and get fresh seafood. There was also seating available inside the café.

I suggest coming here to plan an intimate or family seafood feast. We grabbed two branzino's; they were kind enough to remove the scales for us. Afterwards we ventured to the cafe and had some Connecticut style lobster rolls. The malt vinger fries were amazing; wish I had more. However the lobster could have used som more flavor, it was lacking in some areas; perhaps a garlic butter would help. I will come back as there are more items on the menu I wish to try.

I had been trying to get us here for several weeks and now the stars have finally aligned! ( I did not want to cheat my gal out of this 1st time experience by having it alone. We Had So Much FUN!) Dang! I am so glad that I waited! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted and asked if we had been to KC before? ("No, but highly recommended by my employer!") Ryan, (mgr.) asked us to pick a table and would be by to explain how the menu is set up and works! (Great so far!) Staff , (and patrons as we looked around on our way to the table) were all smiles and truly looked like they were enjoying themselves! The dishes on the tables were well-presented and VERY appetizing to see! (Great Again!) At least 20 patrons were already tucking in and enjoying the heck out of the food and themselves! (most wearing plastic bibs and gloves.) A half minute after we were seated, a pleasant young lady came by with ice-water .(she and others checked back often enough to check on us.) We were both giddy at the prospect of choices offered. It took some minutes to decide after carefully looking over the menu. (So many wonderful choices! Too many, OMG I want ALL of it! ) We decided on menu item Combo 3 ( for this visit) . It consisted of : 2 cluster of snow crab legs 1 whole lobster 1 lb crawfish 1 lb head on shrimp 1 lb green mussels 1/2 lb sausage 5 corns, 5 potatoes for $99.99 (They cheerfully substituted 2 lobster tail for the whole lobster! :D We were DELIGHTED! ) We also ordered a sticky-rice (3.50) and an order of Thien's Fries, pronounced Tea-en, (Ryan kindly helped me here as it is not phonetic.) for 7.99. They are loaded with cheese, sauce, seasonings and bits! Delicious! Nearly a meal in itself! We had to stop eating the large portion of fries so we had some room left for the sea-food! .....and it came....on to the platter....erm...tray...erm ..barrel-top? (22 min from initial ordering), everything is hot, steaming, fresh and wonderful!) It was a Perfect Sea-food heaven! :D After taking in the beautiful sight of this Enormous tray, Carrie and I cracked and pealed and shared bites and ate our way to to complete satisfaction! (Men, show your love and bring your gal here and order #3! :D) Our tray was still quite full when we were done and we left with multiple meals that (Ryan carefully bagged up!) we can enjoy tomorrow! Thank you, Thien, Ryan and staff, for a memorable (and will often be repeated) experience! We Love King Cajun! Sincerely, JoeZ and Carrie (by the window :) )

Our server, Freeman, was attentive and gave great recommendations. He was knowledgeable on the menu and spoke french! He was such a joy! We ordered the chicken liver smear which tasted sweet and salty. It was the perfect first course to start our meal. We then moved onto the cassoulet. We did not enjoy this, the duck confit base was a bit too heavily oiled for us so instead we ordered the steak frites and burger. We loved our second choices and were happy with those selections. Then, we ordered affogato for dessert. Meritage makes their ice cream homemade and it was a good ending to the meal. The restaurant was busy but voices did not carry. It was a beautiful dinner and I would recommend anyone who likes French cuisine to visit!

And obviously that was our big mistake. We sat for a long time as people were brought bread and their appetizers and meals. After about 30 minutes, we finally got about four tiny slices of cold bread and some butter tossed on our table. I ran out of water. About 45 minutes into this I went looking for a manager. What we figured out is that the server forgot to put our order in. We waited another 45 minutes for food. I asked to have a substantial discount on the bill considering it took over 1.5 hours for us to get our food. And I had ordered a simple salad and nothing else. We noticed other waiters glancing at our table. I mean, you would think somebody would notice us sitting there in the main traffic area. Just never being served until I asked what was going on. In the end, we got a 50% discount. But it was such a disheartening experience and felt so unwelcoming that I don't think we'll be back.
