Captain Crab - Hartsdale

I recently dined at a restaurant that serves delicious Cajun style seafood and affordable drinks. The staff was friendly and attentive, and I particularly enjoyed the decor. Additionally, there is plenty of parking available in the shopping center parking lot, and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible. Highly recommend!

This restaurant has a nice ambiance and I really like their interior design. The crabs and shrimp dishes we ordered always come with two dressings: butter and garlic, and the Captain Crab special. The food was tasty, but quite oily. It may not be something we would eat regularly, but it's definitely worth trying.

I give this restaurant 2 stars for its tasty food and nice atmosphere, but the lack of 3 stars is enough for me to not return. The $25 lobster roll only had 4 ounces of lobster, which was disappointingly small. I should have taken a picture because it was literally the size of a caterpillar. For that price, I expected more. Even the cook outside admitted that the owners are cheap and won't allow us to put more than 4 ounces. They have lost my business.

On a scale from 1 to 10 (Best): Atmosphere 9 Food 4 (had gumbo, NE clam chowder, crab cakes with cajun fries, and cajun chicken fried rice). Wouldn't recommend any of it, even the fries. Service 4 (had to wait to order, then for additional service, then waiter brought wrong soups). Menu 3 (they were out of blue crab, which is only crab they served. So, half of menu was useless for a place called captain crab). Bill 2 (food is way overpriced for it's taste, and they tack on an 18% mandatory tip for only two people. Which explains the service. Who needs to earn it when it's forced)

Ordered 1 lb of snow crab 2 portions of crawfish. The crab portion looked too tiny, so I used scales to check.It weighed 11.5 oz. Called them to bring up the issue, they got really defensive, started telling me it’s not possible as the chef uses scales. When I said I also used scales, they said “oh, sorry, I’ll let the chef know”.That’s great but it doesn’t solve my issue, right? I asked them if they can offer a solution for me and they said “they can’t”.So, this place not only delivered less food than they charged for, they also try to play d and didn’t want to own the problem.
