We were feeling a bit crabby so we went on Thursday 12-31-15 at about 6pm for dinner. We were the only patrons and the two gentlemen there treated us like royalty...they were incredibly attentive and friendly.
This restaurant is located on Eastern & Flamingo. Their website says "fine dining seafood restaurant" but the ambiance there is very casual...some of the tables are picnic tables, they have rolls of paper towels on the tables, and bottled beers.
$45.35 got us crab pretzel appetizer, a cup of crab soup, a fried shrimp dinner, a baked tilapia dinner, two iced teas, and a side of fruit for the boy.
Crab Pretzel ($10.99)is a Bavarian style pretzel covered with their famous crab dip and cheddar cheese. The pretzel was soft and and the crab dip was creamy and wonderful. Not too fishy and not too salty....I could eat a whole crockpot full of that dip!
Maryland Crab Soup, according to their menu, has "lots of blue crab meat, tomatoes, lima beans, carrots, corn and onion, flavored with crab spice and served with an in-shell crab half". Mine did not have half a crab in it...Maybe it's because I ordered a cup instead of a bowl? I dunno...but I loved every bite of this soup. I had the flu and it was freezing outside and today I feel 75% better and the soup may or may not have been a magical potion that cured me.
Fried shrimp dinner ($13.99) came with about 20 lager-battered shrimp and two sides. I chose the sweet potato fries and a side salad. The shrimp were so delicious...lightly fried and perfectly seasoned...I wish I could eat these every day. Their side salad was spring mix with onions, croutons, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Their ranch is definitely hidden valley and I would pick a different dressing next time.
They are rather pricey but it's expected for good quality seafood. Yay! I'm a fan.
