    We had excellent service from our server Craig. We were seated a little outside of the normal dining area which was fine, but felt a little isolated and had some other guests that used the quiet space for their personal phone calls. Food was very unique and delicious and view was spectacular.

    Food was great, service was great, our table was jammed in the corner, looking at a wall and an apartment, we would definitely go there again for the food and ask for a window seat this time

    The food is good, not spectacular. We shared the dinner for two. The view was great, restaurant ambience was nice and their chowder was phenomenal! At one point we were using the crab scissors wrong and he came to our table and said "let me show you how to use those properly, ripping them from my husband's hands." So rude, there were many other ways he could have approached that. The gentleman that served us was not friendly, he had a put off attitude we were even there. I also had a gift card for $200 that he was not pleased to take off our bill,. He had to enter a code and it took him, not kidding, 5x to do. He was Gerri f frustrated but I wasn't not going to not use it. This place is NOT worth the $360 bill (not including tip). Skip this place and go to Steamship bar and Grill instead!
    Blue Crab Seafood House - Coast Victoria Hotel & Marina by APAResponded 5 days ago
    Hi Jennifer, Thank you so much for sharing your detailed feedback. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the view, the ambiance, and especially the chowder! It’s always wonderful when the food hits the mark. However, I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience with the service. That’s definitely not the level of hospitality we aim to provide. Your comment about the crab scissors and the service attitude is concerning, and I appreciate you bringing it to my attention. We want every guest to feel comfortable and well taken care of, and it sounds like we missed the mark here. Your feedback is invaluable and will be shared with the team to ensure improvements are made. I hope you’ll give us another chance in the future — we’d love to turn your experience around.

    The restaurant is spacious and cleverly spread over different levels to give patrons the feeling of private dinning. Our table had a stunning view over the harbor and was surrounded by lovely paintings. The crab was delicious and the wait staff very helpful! I highly recommend this restaurant.
