My wife and I have eaten crawfish boil across the world, including in Lousiana (although interestingly our favourite spot was in San Diego). So perhaps our standards are a bit high. We order the mixed boil set, and do not get me wrong - it was good. The sauce was a bit salty, but not a super big deal, just a bit salty. The important thing was that one could really taste the flavor by biting into any of the items.

The main issue was that the 'cajun' flavor was not apparent, and that was highly disappointing, especially given the price point and the alleged emphasis on this style by the restaurant. Thus, while the taste is fine, and while I generally try to avoid having ratings be influenced by pricing, this is an exception - the price cannot justify the food.
