Reviews for Cap't Loui in Cupertino, CA
This is our new go-to Cajun seafood restaurant! The food is perfectly tasty and we love how they make it not too salty as other... Cajun seafood restaurants. Service is great! The staff is friendly, fast, and have a good observation. Thank you for yourservice! Don't forget to give them good tips ;) Read more
Came here after hearing about their $1 Wednesday deal for raw oysters on the half shell! But honestly... I think their seafood... boil is much better. I wouldn't recommend coming here if you plan to just get oysters... I really like the Cap't Loui sauce!Although it's your typical cajun sauce, it's not super salty like other places. Very easy to eat. Mild was perfect for me. Wegot the Pick 2 Boil Combo with Shrimp Head On and Mussels. The shrimp was cooked well and the mussels were a good size! This wasa good amount of food for two people to share. I recommend pairing it with the Garlic Noodles! Small portion for $7, but thenoodles were yummy. There's melted cheese on top! Back to the oysters... They were shucked poorly. There were bits of shell allover the flesh, and some were mangled into a pool of milky liquid! Not done well at all. Looks like the shucker was in a hurryor getting frustrated? Also... These were HUGE. I'm talking hand-sized big! If you know about oysters, the bigger they are...the better they are cooked. Not raw. So this was pretty disappointing. They were very meaty and somewhat-firm in texture. Notvery briny in flavor either. I wasn't a fan. -1 star for the oysters. Read more
When we walk in, the staff told us we can sit anywhere, which was nice. They are surprisingly spacious and have lots of booths.... The menu is kinda smaller than I expected but good nonetheless. When you order the boiler combo, try to at least order 2 likefor example, snow crab + king crab so you can get the free side and you'll be satisfied. The sides are $6.95 each and it'sexpensive for a small portion. Onto the main course, the crabs were so good along with the hot special house sauce, made meteared up. However, there were 1 piece of corn and 2 potatoes (the corn was surprisingly sweet but I didn't try the potatoes).We were still hungry so we got the fryer combo of fish + calamari, and fries. Absolutely worth it and can't say anything bad.The drinks were a little underwhelming for me but it might be different for others. Lastly, the service was outstanding. Thestaffs were very attentive, free mints/wipes, and they have mouthwash in the bathroom. 9/10, would go back sometime Read more
Really good seafood boil place with super nice service too! We got dungeness crab, mussel, and calamari with the signature capt... loui sauce. The crab was good but I'm not good at eating crab so it took me a while. Mussel and calamari was good with the saucetoo. Each bag comes with corn and potato, and the corn was definitely a stand out for me, super sweet. Complimented the garlicbutter flavor of their sauce well. For the free sides we got the garlic noodles and sweet potato fries. My favorite was thegarlic noodles but the sweet potato fries were hot, fresh, and tasty as well. We also tried the half dozen of raw oysters whichwas fine. One of them tasted a bit weird but that might be normal? I'm not sure how good raw oysters are supposed to taste, wegot it mainly because my friend wanted to try it. The service was amazing, they regularly asked if we needed anything and alsogave us extra garlic noodles along with their signature funnel cake ice cream dessert on the house. Will definitely want to comeback again. Read more
Sadly, the generously portioned fries were the best part of my meal, and they were mediocre at best. Personally, I'd prefer to... save a buck and get a smaller portion of fries. Think two large fries from McD's, with similar cut, but not remotely comparable.Even with Cajun seasoning, they needed ketchup, and I didn't finish them. I came for fried fish (note that it's not shown onthe menu in store), because that's what I was in the mood for, but it was very disappointing. Three strips, small but adequate.The batter is fine, but the fish was tough and rubbery. I've never had fish get stuck in my teeth before. The sauces were fine,and the tartar sauce tasted a bit like vinegar. They also included a cup of coleslaw, which was fine. No color, but not theworst I've had. For that meal, with a can of soda, it was just over $20 before tip. Pretty disappointing overall, but I wouldreturn to try a crawfish boil if I can find someone to go with. The service was fine, and I didn't have to wait long for myorder. Maybe 5-7 minutes, but there were no other customers during my visit. Read more
Really great tasting Cajun style seafood. Ordered a trio of shrimp, clams, and calimari and it was absolutely delicious. The... sides are awesome too, highly recommend you get some extra corn or sausages if you're into that. Fries and noodles are similarlydelicious. Highly recommend. Read more
It was my first time ordering takeout from Cap?t Loui and the owner kindly explained and helped me with my order. I ordered... boiler combo - pick three and it was bigger than I expected. The shrimp and mussels were so fresh and the seasoning (hot) was sodelicious. Even the potatoes and corn on the cob that came with it were so delicious that I enjoyed it so much. I highlyrecommend Cap?t Loui to others. Read more
This was the first time I'd eaten anything like this, so I didn't really know what to expect. The waiter walked us through the... menu, so we understood what we were ordering and how we were going to have to eat it. We got crab and mussels and the flavor wasreally good! I don't love the work involved in eating the crab, so I would choose an easier to eat menu item in the future andwould recommend that for anyone not used to working to get the meat out of their food. They also have adult Capri sun drinks ontheir menu that looked really good. Overall I would definitely recommend! Read more
