Gift Tips
- Start with the warm garlic rolls and a Mai Tai—both are house favorites and a fun way to kick off the meal.
- For crab lovers, go for Alaskan king crab or the blue crab claw sampler; portions are generous and the meat is sweet and tender.
- If you want a non-seafood option, the 32oz Porterhouse and other steaks are well-regarded and cooked to a perfect char.
- Don’t miss specialties like crab cakes, coconut jumbo shrimp, or the hot lobster roll for a crowd-pleasing pick.
- Save room for dessert—Paradise Pie or key lime pie make a great finish to a seafood feast.
