We recently ordered 12 servings of kings cake bread pudding for serving at a wedding rehearsal…read moredinner. The cook was extremely thoughtful, and gave it to us with oven warming instructions, and not yet with icing or sprinkles -- and gave those to us in large containers to apply right before serving, for best results. It was a very generous, thoughtful delivery by Noble Wave. My brother and his now spouse had spent their first date at Noble Wave, eating this dessert, and it was a phenomenal time at our wedding rehearsal dinner to have them re-tell the story of their first date, and then share with all the rehearsal dinner guests such a delicious and excellently presented dinner, fresh tasting and presented 8 hours after pickup. Thank you, Noble Wave!

The server got our drinks and our order and all came out fairly quickly. After that tho there was ZERO service. No refills. No did you need anything else. No check (we had to hunt someone down for that) and certainly no to go boxes. Let me also add that it wasn't so busy that all the tables were full either. This really is a shame because the food is incredibly good. Very large portions. We split the chicken and waffles and our friends split the ladder. Would I come back? Unlikely. I mean, I'm all about tipping but when your job suddenly stops after bringing my food and there's nothing else what tip do you deserve? Very disappointed in the service.

TL;DR: Five stars simply isn't enough. I don't know that 10 stars or even 20 stars would be enough…read moreeither. I cannot believe I haven't done a review for here yet. AristaCrab has become the standard I hold all crab plates to. I am born and raised Oregonian, spending most of my summers and winters on the coast. I am very familiar with crab and yet, it took my twenty-four years to find the best crab of my life. Nothing compares to the freshness, the flavor, and most importantly, the AMAZING staff here. I wish I could give just the staff alone twenty stars. They are so friendly, kind, and informative. I usually get some combination of 1-2 crab clusters, corn, and potatoes, whereas my friends will get the same plus egg and sausage. There are different butters you can pick from and I usually get the garlic butter. Every. Single. Item. Is. Amazing. The crab is warm and delicious. The legs are easy to crack and get those giant pieces you dream of, which then you dip into the pool of melted garlic butter, and enter a dreamy food haze of amazingness. The corn and potatoes sit in happy puddle of garlic butter, adding flavor the longer you wait to eat them. The corn is perfectly seasoned and cooked to the point that it's easy to eat off the cob but still firm. The potatoes literally melt in your mouth. Man I was there just last night and I'm sad I'm not eating there right now. It is more expensive but quality, quantity, and experience are so damn worth it.

Two of us shared the Original with two crab clusters. Flavor was pretty perfect ("Original" which…read moreis Old Bay) a little less than normal but he added garlic. So good!

She took SUCH good care of us and was super knowledgeable about the menu items and market prices. We got our drinks within minutes and she made sure they were never empty. Not to mention, she checked in on us multiple times during our visit. I ordered the combo # 2 and added a Dungeness crab to it. That bad boy was FRESH. The whole boil was dripping in sauce, cooked perfectly and let me tell you... the Louisiana flavor seasoning is IT!! It's the perfect mix of Cajun and garlic butter. The main star was definitely the Dungeness, but the snow crab was a close second! The legs were a really good size and full of meat! The shrimp was great too! (I always get head-on) I left soooo full and satisfied! Overall, the food was amazing and the service was the best I have received in years.. We will be back soon!

Hanging from the ceiling are roughly a dozen colorful umbrellas. There is no shortage of visuals in this restaurant. The food: Beignets - we tried the classic and the Berry White. Both were great, but I'd give a slight nod to the original. The one buried in powdered sugar helps keep the texture of the Beignet. The Pickle Gambit - super thinly lengthwise sliced pickles in a light batter. Comes with chipotle aioli and ranch. Good portion size. One of the best fried pickles I've ever had. Ned's 5-Alarm Chicken - really good crust and very flavorful. One regret is we didn't go waffles with this. Lemon Poppyseed Slaw - tastes like a classic slaw. A little sweet and creamy. Goes really well with the heavier dishes that we got. The Shrimp Incident - small shrimp and sliced sausage with a Cajun cream sauce and crostini. We thought this was ok Country Mac - my favorite part was the fried chicken as it was very tender and flavorful. The shell shaped pasta was cooked al dente - it was firmer than I would like partly due to the pasta being on the thick side. The Mac is Cajun forward and not very cheesy. Staff was very friendly. We enjoyed our meal, but it was definitely on the heavier side and could have used something to balance it out.
