What People Are Saying About City Crab & Seafood Co

The Scene
City Crab successfully approximates the good cheer of a seaside lobster house. Go with office mates or take the family--anybody in front of whom you won't be embarrassed to wear a lobster bib. The room is bright, clean and attractive, with huge windows that open to Park Avenue South and a bustling raw bar off to the side.
The Food
Diners choose from a variety of oysters, crabs, chowders, and seafood standards like crab cakes, catfish and salmon. In addition, there are limited salads and meat dishes for those without a hankering for the sea's bounty. Large side dishes like corn on the cob and french fries are also available, and the wine list offers some impressive bargains.

I think the great reviews are from employees of this restaurant. I ate there at lunchtime service, around 2PM. First of all, I was brought a dirty cup and saucer to make my own tea with. I refused the entire thing and told the waiter to take it away. Then my sister and I ordered the gumbo and the baked clams. The gumbo was a 1 on a scale of 1-5. It looked like slimy goop, but I was hungry, so I ate it. I moved onto the clams which looked horrible. It was tiny and had toasted dried breadcrumbs on top, which all fell off the plate once I stuck my fork in to get to the actual clam. The clam was like chewing on rubber. I had to sp!t it out. We told our waiter, who took that off our bill and apologized. I assured him it was no fault of his. I think the only pleasant experience I had was meeting our waiter, because the service was the best thing that came out of the restaurant. I wouldnt recommend the lunchtime service here at all.

I have never visited this restaurant and I probably never will, I live on the other side of the country. I just want to say how terrific of you in sending George the lobster back home. Good for you!!!!!!! I say thank you and I am sure George does, too (if he could).

City Crab is an amazing restaurant. The menu has lots of options to choose from, and the ambiance of the restaurant is really warming. You can't go wrong with anything you order, and the service is fantastic!
