3.5/5Food: We did the Pick 4 lbs Combo because of the grand opening promo posted at the window (free lobster or snow crab, and unlimited garlic noodles). It's admittedly a lot for only 2 people, but we were able to take it home.The lobster tail was delicious, and the crab was fresh. I thought the seasoning was also decent. (They charge extra for a side cup of butter.)The garlic noodles were not bad, and the fries were crispy. I like that the sausages were not too salty.Also got a Shirley Temple "Cap'tRisun" (non-alcoholic juice bag) and it was a good size.Service: Menu is confusing to order from (it should make prices more clear), and server forgot to tell us to look at the Market Prices menu posted on the wall. (I think she was training another server at the same time, so it was probably a lot to remember.) They boxed up the food for us at the end, which was nice.There are also moist towelettes at the table which is a nice touch.Atmosphere: I love the decor and sink area to wash your hands. They also had extra stuff like hair ties, lotion, and cell phone plastic bags. Definitely gives off more of an upscale place.[Side note, they give free dessert for leaving a review and showing the server, but we didn't participate in that for this review.] - Amara V
