Sign or no sign, they made quite an impression. The Cajun Snow & Crab Style sauce ranks among the best I've tried. It burns just right at medium, and the unexpectedly sweet undertones soften the sting. The corn soaks the sauce right up and is the best part by far.
My pound of Crawfish and a pound of Mussels were fresh and fairly-sized, but there were clearly more claws than there were crawfish.
Decorated like a bar-turned nightclub, the casual counter-top seats almost mandate pitchers of sangria and beer. Their website speaks of their desire to be a nighttime hot spot, and they do have a good-sized selection of wine and beer for those who are looking for a no-frills, finger-lickin' time. They also maintain a menu of flavored tea and smoothies for teetotalers and their kids. I opted for Passion Fruit Jasmine Tea with boba because it wasn't quite noon. The boba were rock-hard and regrettably undercooked.
We ended with Matcha Green Tea Snow to soothe the burn. I wish the green tea syrup was more evenly distributed, but the green tea mochi and granola rounded it out just fine.
The combination concept of steaming shellfish boils followed by a chilly shaved ice cool-down is genius, and the execution will improve as this place grows into itself.
Snow & Crab Lounge is still rough around the edges to say the least, but I wouldn't write them off just yet. The seafood is solid, and the ambiance makes for a chill Friday night. If nothing else, the sauce will be its saving grace.
