River Crab - St. ClairRiver Crab...not crabbyA great resturant and has been since the time of Chuck Muer and his Fish Dynasty. Waitstaff trained in the old way...ie look out for the customer. Just a great overall experience. My wife and I have made this our resturant of choice for special events for over 20 years...the time we have lived in the Blue Water Area of Southeast Michigan.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMFabulous FirstThis was my first time dining at River Crab and it will not be my last. THe food was wonderful, tastfully presented, very delicious. The server was friendly and attentive, he made you feel like your choice was on his top 10 list. We had a great view, one row in from the window.
One suggestion. I placed my reservation through your website. I didn't realize you had a special from 3 to 6 pm. When selecting the time on the site, a pop up window to annouce any specials would be beneficial. We would have taken advantage of the special if we had known. Our reservation was for 6:30. I asked the server if this would still be available as we didn't know about this until we saw the menu, but it was not.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMRiver Crab - Still a favorite!My husband & I used to dine here all the time., It's been a few years since we been there, but I decided I really wanted to go there to celebrate mother's day. I was excited to see that my old favorite was still on the menu, which I ordered & it was just as delicious as I remembered. It was the Cajun Chicken Tortellini, for those who are wondering. I also had the scallop w/crab appetizer, very yummy as well. This was the first time my kids came with us and they really enjoyed their visit too, they thought the freighter going by was cool. We also had my brother & mom join us, and they loved it as well.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMSpecial occasionOur waitress was very good attentive and very friendly.

Thanks!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMit felt that the waiter wasit felt that the waiter was a little aggressive; he seemed focused on getting out his spiel, rather than on picking up cues from his customer. Like we weren't interested in desert, and said so, but he continued to describe the desert specials anyway. We felt rushed to order before we had a chance to read the menu or even formulate questions we might have. For a higher priced restaurant, I would expect a more sensitive waiter. We came to eat out in a romantic setting, not to hear a pitch for menu items.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMOur Server Justine was veryOur Server Justine was very attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu.
