The crab was delicious- fresh and well- prepared, and the dishes were nicely presented. However, the use of plastic cutlery and plates felt out of place given the quality of the food and presentation. Switching to proper cutlery would really elevate the experience. Additionally, the music was too loud, making it difficult to have a proper conversation with friends. Paying attention to these small details would make a big difference in creating a more enjoyable dining atmosphere

Food is hearty and great for sharing! My dad loves the rustic feeling of eating crab and seafood while enjoying the view of Sentosa. The Mee Goreng was a very tasty surprise delight! We tried Cajun sauce previously and decided to try the zesty garlic butter instead and it was really good. Seafood was very fresh! Love the sweet potato fries as well.
(Just a little side note to choose better music to accompany the setting. Perhaps country music or pop music instead of songs with vulgar lyrics or techno house music. There were many families with children around as well)

Good price when there’s promotion if not it’s on the pricey side but it’s seafood so I guess prices are higher than regular restaurants.
The food taste is not bad and seafood is fresh. The mains are more of single portion and not so big but I guess for one person it’s enough.
The sides like fresh mushroom and chicken wings are not bad. Good that they have some limited menu for those who don’t eat seafood.
I think it would be better if there’s some non-seafood main course like chicken pasta or vegetarian pasta so that people who don’t eat seafood can dine there together with family or friends.
The food tastes are all not bad and seafood is fresh. The service staff were helpful and friendly too. But I’m not a fan of the paper plates and plastic cutlery. I guess it’s the atmosphere they want to create like an American style seafood casual joint but save the planet - cut out disposables.
Probably I’ll be back there sometime if there’s another promotion, otherwise it’s kinda expensive.

Was okay. Late night crab. We were the last ones to order. Staff were great but kitchen had run out of some food. Like there was no vegetables. We had the pepper crab which was an excellent. We wanted fresh chili which the kitchen could not provide. Felt like they couldn’t be bothered.

Went for their mini bag lunch combo and it was truly delightful. Delicious fresh seafood and wonderful service from staff. Went back 2 days later to try the Live Dungeness Crab Combo in zesty garlic butter sauce. It was absolutely delicious!!!
