Description
Meals follow a "Bibs Up, Phones Down" rule, arriving in bags of snow crab legs and prawns. In the compact dining room, the staff even bags coats in plastic to protect them from the inevitable splatter. The garlic butter sauce is packed with coarse, chopped garlic, though the 'Shaking' spice level can run milder than expected. Diners also report mixed experiences with service speed and portion sizes relative to price.
