“ Waitress was lovely and attentive, food was great, I was going to give 4stars as it seemed as though the crab meat was removed before being put on the platter, we just had the claws! But what we did get was just too good. Other than that, we had a lovely time here. As you can tell from the very demolished platter photo ”
