| - This Vegas weather is too good to miss out on. So instead of staying home for dinner, I asked my husband if we could go out. He said sure, but where? So after a little bit of scrolling through my Yelp Bookmarks, we settled for Venezuelan. So driving down Rainbow from Warm Springs, I opened my big mouth and said, "oh, Crab Corner is right there!" To which my husband said, "oh, I could use a crab pot!" and makes a U-turn.
We got there right before the "dinner rush". We sat down ordered water and a Pepsi and started looking over the menu when my husband realized, it wasn't the Creole crab pot style restaurant. Hence the Maryland Crab signs all over the restaurant. Although a little bummed, we were already seated and so we decided to give it a try and I'm glad we did.
#1, thing we loved about this place, the 80s music. It really brought us back in time.
#2, the lobster bisque was amazing
#3, the soft shell crab was pretty good
#4, super large portion of pasta under the large grilled salmon. So much so, that I don't think I ate half of it.
The service was great, but a little slow.
As we watched dishes come out from the kitchen, because we were seated right outside of it, my husband noticed that some platters coming out only had rows of crabs. As we got our check, my husband asked the waitress what that was about since he didn't see it on the menu. The waitress pointed out to the chalkboard behind me where it had a list of crab sizes and prices for female versus male crabs. She explained to us that those tables had only ordered the crabs. The least expensive was $4 for the small female crab while the most expensive was the jumbo size male at $12. Per the waitress, the jumbo male size measures 7-inches. The price for crab of the size crab is reasonably priced.
Note: If you're accustomed to having just crab legs, the measurement is referring to the body of the crab and not the legs. I've had dinner with girlfriends where they've never had shellfish in its natural shell and was surprised when it came out.
Looking forward to our next visit.
