    We haven’t been to the River Crab in a while. We were pleasantly surprised how beautiful the view was. Our food and drinks were outstanding. The waiter recommended a few dishes and all 4 of us were wowed. The Sole with the crab on top and the chicken schnitzel were amazing. We will definitely be going back to the River Crab!!

    Hostess station slow, and did not greet customers nor explain what the hold up was, very little interaction. Food took way to long to come from the kitchen, been coming here for years worst experience ever.

    I've been to the River Crab many times before and it never disappoints me. This time I brought friends who have never been there and they enjoyed their visit and looking forward to going back. Everything was just what you would want when going out for relaxing, delicious meal.

    Fathers Day. They made the dads feel special from the hostess through the waitstaff. I would say my husbands fillet looked better than my prime rib. Love the wedge salad. Thank you for a wonderful special day.

    We've always had an excellent experience at River Crab. This past Father's Day was no exception. The specific menu had a nice variety of options and the food was delicious.

    The River Crab is an exceptional restaurant, with a fabulous view of the St. Clair River. They have an extensive menu and the food is outstanding. The scallops, dover sole and the clam chowder soup were all very delicious. We highly recommend Melanie our server, she was very helpful and attentive.
