Nauti Cajun Crab — Restaurant in Metuchen

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...

I waited for a long time to get here….last week I finally got the chance to go and let me say I was very disappointed in my dish.

We were the first dine in customers there (hint)

I was craving red snapper so I ordered the deep fried red snapper it was $45 for the dish. I think I really paid for the oil in the deep fryer because it was no way worth that amount of money. My fish was very overcooked and under seasoned I mean no flavor at all to the fish the rice was typical bland white rice. I did bring it to my servers attention and he brought me some s/p 🙄

Now, I stalked their IG page for quite some time and I see how a lot of content creators visited this place and it “seemed” pretty hyped up and food be looking very good….so why when I go I didn’t get the same out of it?

Idk but this was the worse red snapper meal I’ve ever had and I’ve had plenty so I’ll definitely stick to where I know is good from now on bc this here made me mad and usually I don’t leave any left behind but this was trash oh the calamari was good whatever they use on that should be used on the snapper.

My son ordered a seafood boil with a side of garlic noodles he also disliked his meal it had no flavor (not pictured)

The only good thing it’s byob so thankfully I didn’t have to pay for any drinks.

Just my experience

update: Thanks for taking the time to review video and receipts

The food was not good my sons ate it bc we were hungry we will stick to Red juicy crab hook and reel for seafood boils and I will stick to where I know is good for my red snapper #1 Cuban Pete’s have some goodt snapper but we...

The worst experience ever! My girlfriend and I always come here, one of our top spots but tonight will be the end of that. The waiter was not attentive at all it, took him 15 minutes to come and greet us.. which he did not do, he asked “ are you guys ready to order “ we watched him attend to many other tables that came after us and also the same time as us and he had us there waiting & we didn’t even complain to him about the wait. He had a very sarcastic attitude when we asked for cups with ice, he had to take our order twice because the first time he didn’t write it down for some reason.. assuming he thought he would be able to remember it all. He forgot most of our add ons. Both of our buckets were cold which was nasty, another employee was notified then took it back, when it came back out again the food ended up being cold again with just warm sauce on top. When I asked for a manager, my server “Vinny” said he was the manager he then proceeded to argue back with us calling us rude and complicated not wanting to take anything off the bill.. (even though we didn’t even eat anything in the bucket the second time it came out cold) So the ACTUAL manager came out and said Vinny was not the manager and actually helped us out and understood our frustration. The imaginary manager Vinny should be reprimanded.. he clearly doesn’t know how to run a business or handle a situation and is also an embarrassment to the brand lying about being a position he is not. If I can rate this no...
