I highly recommend this place for your seafood boil cravings! The margarita is a must, it goes so well with the seafood boil.... The mix of all three sauces is the way to go! Great place and great service, 10/10! Read more

The place is located in a very convenient location around Harvard square. It is about 5-7 mins walking distance from the T.... Finding a parking spot can be a little bit tricky during busier times. However, finding a spot to sit in inside of therestaurant should be a much easier task as the restaurant is very spacious and has a lot of tables as well as multiplefloors. The food is really delicious and our hostess Annisia was very welcoming and explained all of the menu thoroughly! Shewas also very patient and answered all of our questions with great depth. All of the other staff members were equally friendlyand welcoming. As for the food, we tried the Mussel and shrimp bags, both with Shbang sauce. Both of the options verydelicious. We also tried the Shbang bang Shrimp which was the group's favorite, the fried calamari and the fried shrimp baskets.All of the food was really tasty and the portions were very sizable. I find it difficult to believe that anyone would leave therestaurant feeling hungry! Last but not least, the prices are very moderate and definitely affordable. Overall : greatexperience, friendly staff and convenient location. Would definitely go back again! Read more

I can't say that the food was super delicious, it was pretty good (maybe not a very good choice), BUT ... the interior is just... wonderful ... lighthouse and other sea symbols :) The staff was very friendly. I will definitely go again. Read more

Such a great experience. The food is full of spice and flavor. The menu is simple with plenty of options. We loved the "hands... on" activity of eating and sharing our dishes as a family. The server and staff were great at making sure we knew how to chooseand how to best enjoy everything. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who not only wants to have good food but also anfun experience. Read more
