  Cool experience. At its best. I got the seasonal whole lobster . And my gf got snow crab legs. Both priced expensive. The amount of salt and garlic in the garlic butter sauce was meal changing. Verry salty.. freshh. But verry salty. My lobster was cooked alright but the ammount if butter it was sitting in changed it drasticly . (Would rather dip it which isnt an option). My gf had a bad experiemce with the crab legs .. not good qaulity and hard to get meat out. Over cooked im.gussing . And the shrimp was average at best. Again over priced . The sides r over priced as well and u get a third of a cob of corn for 2$ and overcooked brocolie for 7$ . Calamari was highlight of meal and was the only.thing that was decently priced. With all that said i wont be back any time soon. And we orderd pizza after since we were still hungry after a 100$ meal . Couldnt imagine them staying open for very long. Good idea. Horrible execution .

  They have to share tips!!!!!! Remember that when you tip it's not going to that waiter or waitress!!!! Food is great but what a joke!! I'm not tiping anymore until I know these girls and boys are getting what they deserve. Fix this management!!!!! Also why would you let U-Haul park their vans right in front of your restaurant????? No one can even see your signage with those massive vans in front of the store? I've lived in Oakridge my whole life and no one in the area even knows you're there or open! Great place but needs a lot of work!!!!

  This is an interesting experience if you are looking for something different. The snow crab was pretty good, though I wish they gave me a fork in order to pull the meat out. The shrimp was very difficult to peel and seemed a bit rubbery. The service was subpar but friendly.
  
  They provide gloves but the oils from all the sauce leak through them so be prepared to get messy. Lastly, they offer no plates, cutlery or glass cups.
  
  If you are not a big shellfish eater they also offer chicken fingers and fish and chips.

  Interesting experience, but probably wouldn't go back. The fresh oysters were great, super fresh (I asked to see the tag date). The staff was friendly, the food was tasty. The seafood was all overcooked. The rice came in a styrofoam bowl with plastic forks - what was that all about?? And the amount of plastic waste is horrifying. My major complaint is that the shrimp was not de-veined, that's just straight-up gross, it's very difficult to de-vein cooked shrimp at the table :( It was kinda pricey too, meal for two was approximately $90 after tax tip, and that was with no drinks and none of the expensive options like crab/lobster.

  Avoid this restaurant at all costs. The food was inedible. If your only job is to make seafood, it shouldn't be rubbery, overcooked, and impossible to peel. The broccoli was so overcooked we couldn't pick it up-it fell apart! The wine was overpriced-they charged for good wine and served swill. (As a counterpoint, the other restaurant we went to after leaving this one without eating, had good wine for the same price). The service was terrible. When we told them we were dissatisfied with the food, they told us that the manager was too busy to speak with us, and handed us the full bill, even though we had barely eaten anything. We will never return and tell everyone else they shouldn't waste their time and money.
