I went here for my friend's surprise birthday party.  I was craving seafood so this sounded like it'd be fun.  Their "twist" on the dining experience is that they don't serve you your food on plates.  If you order from their "Seafood for two or more" menu, they bring your food in giant metal bowls and just dump it onto the table.  So that's what I did.  I ordered the "Westport", which has clams, mussels, crab, shrimp, corn on the cob, potatoes and slices of sausage.  The portions were ridiculous - $24.95 for portions the size of my head.  The seafood itself was decent - they salt it and sprinkle it with cajun seasoning but not much else.  I'd say the only problems I had with my meal were that the prawns were a bit overcooked and that the food got cold really fast. Eat quickly! :) Worth trying at least once.

Fun experience and great food. Go hungry. Try a pot for 2 or more, as that is fun. I got the Westport (but there are many other options) for 2 and it was dumped on the table (which is covered in paper). You are given a bib to wear and given crackers and mallets plus containers of butter. it will get messy but that is part of the fun. A little on the pricey side, but the food is good and it is just plain fun. You should do it at least once!

This is the kind of place you come to more for the experience, although the food was good too!

You're given a bib to wear if you order the feasts because it can get pretty messy with all the seafood poured on the table in front of you. I thought that was both cute and practical!

Seafood was very good with the exception of the prawns.  "Westport" was a lot of food - really too much.  3 people should split 2 Westports.  Overall a great place to go to at least once, if only to eat off the table :)

These babies are feats....if you don't do for anything on there crab menu....its probably not worth it, but it is great none the less. FEASTS, basically. Bring a friend. They provide bibs and mallets.
