    The spice level was on point. the suave is really good. Sadly they don't have other combos. The 1lb snow crab is just one cluster and four legs for $39. but the mussels were big. Food was good and the played great music. Drinks were strong and the server was quick

    I'm not big on crab boils so had not actually been here before. We decided to try it today and glad we did. I started with the gumbo and wow!!! This was full of flavor with a wonderful Anduille sausage and crawfish. The flavor was just very complex and frankly delicious. We both had the soft shell crab fried. Very good, the service was on point. The only odd thing is they have beer and cocktails but no wine and that is usually a killer for my wife.

    Been wanting to check this place out for a while now and it also kept popping up on my TikTok FYP. Our server was very sweet and explained the whole menu to us which was nice of him. I will say it seemed a little weird that everything came separately. Ordered some blue crab and clams but they were brought out in separate bags instead of just in one. Also you can only order by the pound while a lot of other places you can order by 1/2. Some boil places bring you the seafood crackers for the claws but we didn't get those. The sauce was also very salty and had huge chunks of garlic while other pieces were minced ,wish there was some consistency there. The corn was also cold (damn near frozen) which was quite a shock to bite into. I think the best parts of the meal were the lemon pepper fries and the rice, though it's pretty hard to mess up rice. Overall seems pretty expensive for something not that great. Wouldn't come back but try it for yourself. Update/edit: we got food poisoning

    Not too different from the standard crab boil spot. I did a crab boil with snow crab legs, corn and potatoes. Medium hit. Mixed seasoning blend. The boil was yummy and filling.

    Ya know i am a huge fan of all seafood boils ... "the boiling crab" is super famous right along side "hot n juicy" whenever i travel, and they always have these two in the city, and i always always go to hot n juicy. Could never bring myself to try this franchise bc Hot N Juicy is my all time FAVEEE...... since visiting Miami, they didnt have a location so i was like "HEY its your time to shine!!" aaannndd... i must say, i made the right decision all those times, but it does feel good to finally see what all the "whole shabang" hype is about. Unfortunately, the sauce did not do it for me. im really not into this plain "cajun" flavor anymore. HOWEVER, what DID it for me big time was their DUNGENESS CRAB... holy moley, you would have never ever guessed it was frozen!!! the crab still had all the mustard and flavors ... mann that crab was soo good. i ate the whole thing by myself!!! i wish i got to take some photos of the inside of it but i was too busy digging in.. also, it doesnt come with any sides, fyi. SERVICE was wonderful. i think for this area, this is a great option for seafood boil, pricing was typical.

    Oysters
    Noodles N.

    Oysters were good but tiny and too expensive for the price. Lots of delays and hard to get server's attention even when it's not busy at all. Gumbo and rice was okay. Garlic butter sauce did not come in time for the oysters and only arrived by the time the check came which I never even got to use and was still charged for. What pissed me off the most was the manager just standing there staring at me until I made eye contact to which he finally gave me my check back. What a fucking weirdo. Avoid at all costs.

    Sooooo good so flavorful so good! Great value service is funny haha yum great enviroment music playing

    Ksenia and ALEX are the absolute best!! They were so helpful and literally the nicest people ever. I hope the business owner knows how amazing they are and how great they are. I have been in the food and beverage industry for 9 years and they are single handily the best i've ever run into.

    How much crab/lobster do you get per bag (in pounds) and what's an estimate of the prices?

    I always get a pound of everything simply because the food is so good

My mango margarita was 2 for 1 so I loved that, it was also pretty good, right balance of flavor. Shoutout to bartender :) The calamari was ok, nothing special about it, But not bad. However, The seafood boil was finger licking good, I would order it again. We were there on a Tuesday, they had a dj which created a fun vibe & many people were up and dancing. So if you're looking to have some fun at dinner in the area, this is a cool place although I must say the music is a bit too loud, my ears were hurting. Also, our waitress was very sweet but she did forget to bring the box I waited for almost half an hour but I asked someone else and they brought it right away so it was cool.

I'd describe it as flavorful, slow stewed beef topped with a moist, slightly sweet cornbread. It was hearty, comforting, and surprisingly delicious. I ended up finishing the entire dish since I wasn't sharing the other plates with the group. About halfway through, I felt like it needed a little something extra, and our server suggested trying their mashed limo pepper. Fair warning, it's spicy! It added the perfect kick and really elevated the flavors of the dish. Our server was incredibly attentive throughout the meal and made the experience even better. I'd definitely recommend CVI.CHE 105 for an elevated dinner, date night, or special occasion.

The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the service was quite delayed. It was difficult to get our waitress's attention throughout the meal, and there were several times we were left waiting longer than expected. I completely understand restaurants can get busy, but a little more attentiveness would have made the experience much better. Overall, we enjoyed our meal, the flavor was impeccable, and the dessert was the perfect!

Everyone was kind and friendly and super helpful in sharing places to eat and things to do during our stay, especially Mickey, the GM. I started with the Spicy blackberry margarita and it was an excellent choice. It was the perfect blend of sweet with a touch of heat/spice at the end. It was so good that I had two during LUNCH! The King crab linguine caught my eye on the menu. I typically don't do pasta dishes because of the carbs but I couldn't resist today. And I'm so glad I did. The huge pieces of king crab were probably some of the best I've ever had. The capers added a nice touch. The linguine was cooked and seasoned to perfection. My husband loves Key lime pie. I didn't think we had room in our tummies to hold it but thankfully they have a petite version. That size was perfect. I'm not a fan of key lime pie because it's so dense and tart to me. That was until I had key lime pie at Truluck's! Their version is light and airy and not lip puckering tart. It was amazing. I think we are going to go back to this spot before we leave! It was just that good.
