First time at the Nauti Cajun crab, and all I can say is WOW had the boil up for 2 and it was amazingly delicious ?. Appetizer was so good and the house lemonade refreshing. Now let's talk about desert!! Had the Lava cake and son had the carrot cake, decadent doesn't begin to describe it. All and all the food, staff and location is a total vibe I can't recommend enough.

Looking for a proper Cajun crab boil? Looking for stir fry Dungeonness crab in a sweet ginger sauce over killer garlic noodles? Looking for delicious fried soft shell crab? You should come here if any of that sounds good to you. FYI it's BYOB, but there's a liquor store that's only a 2min wlak away. Recommend a cold beer to put out the fire if your order anything spicy, because they will indeed turn up the heat if you ask them too.

Service was good. Place is small. We had a table right next to the door. Every time it opened our food got colder. Other than that the food is good and it's a BYOB.

Go with a large group and get the $400 dish. It comes with 8 drinks but feeds well over 8 adults. And everything was seasoned so well!!Kid-friendliness: There is a kids menu.

Great spot for a seafood boil! I like the ambience, it’s more modern than your average seafood boil restaurant. Everything is delicious. It’s BYOB so don’t forget to bring your likka!

It was are first time there. Upon arrival there was no place to park and there was meter parking and you can only use credit card no coins. Walking into the place there were stairs so if you have a hard time with those, there’s just a couple the place inside was very clean good music. It was a good atmosphere. There is a gentleman that had sat us down and he said his name was Ryan then we had two other people that came to our table that was servers that took our orders After we had ordered our food and we started receiving it we had a problem and there was nobody around to help us. We actually had to get up out of our chair and go get the person that we found to help us so he told us that he wasn’t the manager , but on the receipt, it says otherwise. So everything was good. The shrimp tacos were amazing. The garlic noodles were great. The oysters were fresh. The lemonade was out standing, but the food that we had ordered for the price and the amount wasn’t worth it at all. We got to see lovers , which works for $89 one cluster of snow crab, one cluster of Dungeness potato corn and you get a choice of clam shrimp muscle extra so there are extras that you could put in there. It cost a little bit more money eggs sausage, etc. so we had a little complain about her food and we had gotten the garlic and butter and we had got medium. When we received the food at the table and we started tasting it it was super hot and that was not no medium mild. That was really really hot and spicy and for people that eat spicy food we couldn’t even eat it so we asked him to take it back, and they took it back not just once not just twice three times at this point, we asked to speak to the manager and the man that said he wasn’t the manager came over and told us the guy that was serving. The table was the manager so there’s conflicting stories. There was no discount then they would not take the food off of our bill because we were just satisfied with it. So we took it home with us and we wind up throwing it away a waste of seafood for as much as we paid. I was expecting it to be a lot better because all the hype on the Internet, I just feel my personal opinion. It was not worth it. The service is not the greatest. I’m giving them a three out of five because they never came back to the table except for the man going to get them. They never check to see if we need refills on drinks , or if everything was OK atmosphere I gave a five and the place was very clean. other than that, I was very disappointed with the money that we had to spend for the food that we threw out without even any compensation that was very upsetting.

The food was amazing! Our waiter was beyond attentive, gave suggestions answered all our questions, I wish every restaurant had a waiter like him, I didn't get his name, he was the tall Spanish guy. Overall great vibe, and service.

First time here and it wasn’t bad. I made a reservation so we didn’t have to wait and we were seated immediately. Took a bit of time before our waitress came to the table though. Our waitress Alyssa came over and helped us with the menu and gave us some suggestions and we went with the seafood boil for 2 which was called the Sea Lovers. We went with that selection and Calamari for the appetizer of choice.The Calamari came out pretty fast however was not hot as we expected. It was still good and had a bit of a kick to it.We choose the Nauti Crab flavor which was good, I just think they need to spread out the flavor more. The potatoes and corn didn’t have any flavor on it as we had to get the seasoning from the bottom and rub it on the corn and potatoes.We’d consider giving this place another try soon
