What User likes about Out Of The Blue Crabs Seafood:
of us. One had a surf and turf dinner that was so pitiful. If you can’t do a small steak shrimp and scallops and make it look like then don’t serve it! Understand food is expensive but that was a total rip off View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Out Of The Blue Crabs Seafood:
When we got there at for our reservation the hostess told us there is a minute wait. The same thing she told the people in front of us without a reservation. We went to another restaurant View all feedback.

Food is very overpriced for the quality. The decor is like having dinner in a garage. If you want fish for dinner, go across the street to Burger King.

The food was absolutely delicious, and perfectly cooked. The portion of the rockfish was a little small, I would have enjoyed an additional piece!
