    The food was excellent, as usual, and the service was excellent. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday so we started with a drink in the bar and an appetizer - the calamari was the best! We were seated at a table by the window where the view of the St Clair River was amazing. The salmon was very delicious but the dessert was so good - can’t go wrong with the carrot cake! Always a good meal at The River Crab.

    Has a "No Walk-ins" policy, so use OpenTable… even if it's only half-full when you arrive.
