First time stopping by Lenny's Clam Bar in Howard Beach for dinner. Classic Italian-style…read morerestaurant, no frills, with a friendly staff. We were seated quickly and started with complimentary bruschetta on toast, breadsticks, and a warm loaf of bread. We ordered the fried calamari, which was a very generous portion, fresh, lightly breaded and not greasy at all. We chose the sweet marinara sauce and really enjoyed it. For dinner we had the Seafood Fra Diavolo for two. The portion was huge and could easily feed three people. Everything tasted fresh and was well seasoned. My only disappointment was that there was no spice at all I was really looking forward to that nice spicy Fra Diavolo kick. We also had a pitcher of white sangria, which was good. Overall, a very good first experience. We'll definitely come back and see if we can get that Fra Diavolo to live up to its name next time!

Famous institution in Queens! Stopped by after Rockaway Beach for some seafood. Lots of tables and…read moregot seated quickly. Service is meh, but seafood is delicious and super fresh. We got the French onion soup and lobster bisque. I've had better French onion soup (yes, probably shouldn't order at an Italian spot but i couldn't resist). The lobster bisque was yummy but you could really taste the heavy cream. No chunks of lobster. We shared a large fried calamari with medium spice marinara sauce and a dozen baked clams. The calamari needed some salt, but was fried well. Baked clams were absolutely SO DELISH!!! Use up that complimentary bread basket for them. For mains, we shared the shrimp parm, linguini pasta with clams, and rigatoni. Shrimp parm and rigatoni were awesome. Great red sauce. My pasta with the clams was super bland. No olive oil, no garlic. Couldn't eat it and took it home for leftovers to remake a sauce for it. After that, tasted good. We shared the tartufo for dessert. Can't go wrong there. I would come back if you're looking for large portions for dinner and want some fresh seafood.

This was my second visit to Cap't Loui, and it reminded me exactly why it's one of my favorite…read morespots for a seafood boil. I started with the Hurricane Red cocktail, and it was fantastic. It comes in a cute drink pouch, has a generous pour, and definitely doesn't skimp on the alcohol. Even with the rum, dark rum, orange juice, and grenadine, it still tastes amazing and strikes a really nice balance. For my appetizer, I ordered a cup of the New England clam chowder. It was fresh, creamy, and packed with plenty of clam pieces in every bite. Unless you're a huge clam chowder fan or planning to make it your meal, I think the cup is the perfect size to enjoy before digging into a seafood boil. For my boil, I ordered half a pound of mussels and half a pound of head off shrimp with Cap't Loui sauce at the hot spice level. It also came with corn and potato, and I added boiled egg. If you're someone who loves a Cajun style seafood boil with a noticeable kick, the hot Cap't Loui sauce absolutely delivers without sacrificing flavor. Another thing I appreciate is that they provide branded plastic bibs and gloves, which makes the whole experience much less messy and lets you fully enjoy the meal. The restaurant tables were also decorated with cute seafood-themed paper tablecloth to keep everything clean as well. The service was just as impressive as the food. Everyone was attentive, and everything, from the drinks to the chowder to the boil, came out surprisingly fast. This is easily one of my favorite places when I'm craving a seafood boil, and I'll definitely be back again.

Even though I didn't like the food we tried, I'll still dine in at a different location to get a better experience. I tried the shrimp in garlic butter in mild spice. It had no flavor whatsoever. Was it buttery? No. Garlicky? No. Salty? I don't think the sauce was seasoned with any salt. I can see why others are getting their boils, hot.. literally no flavor except for the heads. There was a spoon of garlic and some weird butter..watery oil at the very bottom .. the shrimp wasn't mixed with any of the "sauce." So only natural shrimp flavor and when we dunked it in the watery "sauce" there was just a hint of flavor but not much. We threw in a lil finishing salt which did make it slightly better but it was just so watery. At that point.. I just ordered food from a different restaurant.

We were greeted by the hosts and quickly seated. Ruby was our server and she was very knowledgeable and patient with us. You could see the passion in her work ethic. She smiled and kept a positive welcoming energy from the minute she greeted us until we left. I had read a lot of reviews about the wings, so I made sure to order the sweet chili wings and the honey garlic wings. OMG they were seasoned well and saucy to perfection, just how I like my chicken wings. Then I ordered the lobster roll with sweet potato fries. It was so delicious that I had to order it again. We also shared the "First Lady:A Royal Feast for Mom." It was packed with everything lobster, crab legs, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, mussels, and corn. It was definitely a feast fit for a mother! Everything was seasoned to perfection with a delicious butter sauce. I honestly can't complain. We sat in a booth that comfortably fit 3 adults and 2 children, which made the experience even better for our family celebration.

After that everything was okay I guess but service was horrible. Food was great shoutout to the chef. Drinks were mediocre. If it wasn't because we drove nearly two hours from Jersey, I would have left after nearly waiting 10 mins to be seated. At the end the server didn't add our food to the check.

The entire restaurant is very clean and has ample seating. I was seated while I waited for my friend. I ordered a red wine sangria.

The portion was so big I had enough for another meal. Everything came out together, perfectly hot, with sides of salsa and seasoned sour cream. There were also sides of rice, black beans, and cotija cheese. My friend has a non alcoholic Mojito. I also had a tamarind Jarritos soda. We each ordered a sweet. My friend had churros.
