Our take: The BOILER @ Esplanade consistently earns high marks for its seafood boil bags, particularly the Duo Plus with Signature Works sauce.
Reviewers frequently highlight the generous portions of crab, prawns, and mussels, along with the garlicky flavour of the sauce.
While the seafood boil is a clear favourite, the menu also offers well-received alternatives like the Baby Back Ribs and Fish and Chips, which are praised for their quality and flavour.
Service is a recurring positive, with staff often noted for their attentiveness and kindness.
We think The BOILER is an excellent choice for a satisfying seafood meal, especially if you're keen on the communal experience of a seafood boil.
Be aware that some diners wished for more sauce in their boil bags, but this seems to be a minor point amidst overwhelmingly positive feedback.
A weekday afternoon visit appears to offer a less crowded experience.
We'd recommend this for groups looking for a hearty and flavourful seafood feast.

Really good service. Delicious food. Would be good if there more sauce. But overall still good. Was given a complimentary cake without us asking as we celebrating birthday here. Highly recommended
