Overall setting very nice. Wouldn't say that food was much better than any other seafood place. Gentlemen that looked after us at the beggining was amazing ( unfortunately didnt catch his name) . However once we finished it took ages to be able to ask anyone for bill and to pay it. Overall maybe will come back.

It’s a nice place with niche selection of dishes that include crab..... not sure about value for money. Nice atmosphere for informal dinner with nice jazz music on the background.

The staff and service was great.we had the bottomless Prosecco deal and our waitresses kept us topped up all evening.My only criticism is that the crab used in a crab restaurant looked and tasted like crab sticks!!! So I was abit disappointed in the food but everything else was great

Stick to the fresh seafood which is fabulous. The battered food was not good. The batter was far too thick and chewy... Service was with a smile though and efficient for the busy pre Xmas week.

The staff are not very attentive to customers ongoing needs. They go back and forth past the tables without asking if things are ok if a customer wants anything else. The food is overpriced and Lobster and Burger are much better....

Fabulous food, all delicious. WE had the Premium seafood platter, in addition the seared scallops although they missed off 1 portion, oysters and King Crab Leg gratin, with a tomato juice cocktail that has a crab claw in it. Restaurant beautifully decorated for Christmas, staff very friendly. Negatives- we were sat in the window, great for attracting customers to the restaurant, too cold for us. There was space further in that we could have been given. The table needed clearing more often as we had so many plates, but we had to ask for this to be done. Would highly recommend.

We ordered the Singapore chilli crab and the curry wasn’t close to the real thing. Also disappointed by the small amount of actual crab meat in the portion. Not worth the money!!

Warm & friendly staff with excellent service. We ate from the lunchtime set menu which gave each of us a good selection. Added a couple of oysters each as a starter And ended a leisurely lunch. Would definitely recommend you try it.

I was really very disappointed with the restaurant. Myself and my friend found it overpriced for very small portions of food. We won't be going back and I will not be recommending to my friends. No atmosphere either.

Not worth the money and the service is lack lustre. Food was over seasoned and spoilt the crab flavour and the dishwasher that they call cocktails are overpriced. Big easy or Burger and lobster has better quality service where they are attentive, reasonably priced and you leave full. 2 courses and a drink for 2 £129. Should have shopped in Waitrose and cooked it myself.

Abbiamo cenato al Francy Crab, il ristorante si arriva in my fair a due passi da Selfrige l’ambiente è raffinato, siamo partiti degustando ostriche eccezionali poi abbiamo apprezzato le King Crab legs gratinate. Il personale é stato gentile e disponibile, con un cenno particolare al cameriere che parla Italiano.. Bravo!!

Wouldn’t return, very average seafood. Bar ran out if champagne due to lack of stock delivery and had a bad attitude to boot. Plenty other seafood restaurants to try before resorting to this.

Lovely restaurant, great atmosphere and delicious food and cocktails. Only complaint would be they didn’t have a allergy menu, had to rely on the manager, not great or comforting when you have severe allergy.

Had the house platter for starters which was lovely, and the lobster and crab leg gratin (which I much preferred). So food was excellent and the interior was decorated great! However two waitresses that didn't serve us I noticed kept on giving me these quite dirty and judgy looks, not sure why but made me and my boyfriend feel a bit out of place especially because we're young and Asian and therefore the minority in the restaurant lol. When we left I was given a weird look after taking a video of the place to keep as a memory. So the staff felt pretentious and snobby but apart from that had fun with my partner

Casual dining, but in a fancy place! The atmosphere was great, the staff were very welcoming and always at hand. The food tasted delicious and presentation of it was great. Just make sure that if you want tap water, to ask for it otherwise you are charged £3 for 'Fancy Still Water'.

Very nice setting. However, sitting was not perfect. The food was ok. I had lobster with salad. Lovely presentation of the food. The staff were very friendly and we didn't feel rushed to eat our food. The Proccecco had me a bit. But thoroughly enjoyed the company of my friends in a stylish, welcoming restaurant.

Good atmosphere, excellent staff and service. From a price point I thought it was not to dure. I believe the food itself lacked flavour, a few sprinklings of a good sea salt might go a long way.
