The service was perfect, we hadn’t experienced a crap place before and they gave a great tutorial for our kids. The crab is served on the table to share and was amazing. It was delicious, the sizes available depend on the day but are informed when you sit. I would recommend this place to anyone in the future. Make a reservation or you could be waiting an hour plus. This is a very family friendly restaurant. Very special. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
I had the crab cake meal at Quarterdeck, and it was absolutely awesome! The crab cake was everything you want it to be packed with pure, fresh crabmeat and no filler, just rich, savory flavor in every bite. The sides were just as impressive: the corn was sweet and crisp, and the broccoli was perfectly cooked, tender but still fresh and vibrant. Everything tasted like it was made to order. A truly satisfying and well balanced meal! I started eating before I decided to do a review but I took a picture anyway Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Very much a local bar atmosphere. Only good if you like crabs. The crab dishes were delicious. Scallops were overcooked and the sauce was too sweet. Salad was just a plate of lettuce, tomato, and onion—more like a burger toppings plate. Very crowded and hard to move around. Wait was over an hour but seating at bar is first come so we grabbed a table there. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3
First visit! I will return. Steamed shrimp, large and flavorful. Seafood pasta looked good. My son said it was delicious. Crabs were pricey. Value inflated but they tasted good. Drinks were lovely. Dislikes: Outdoor area should be swept between seatings. The ants from food dropping were crawling on my legs and my back. They were harmless black ants but I ended up moving to the other side of the table.
We loved this place and have been going to it for years. No issue for the food. However, be ware that they now force a 20% tip on the total post-tax amount even for lunch and for a party size of 2. And they don't tell you about this until after giving you the check. It's a bit outrageous to be honest. Suffice it to say, we won't be going back.
