My girlfriend had a leg of crab and I had the burger. We were both very happy with our food - my burger was one of the nicest I’ve ever had! Genuinely! My girlfriend loves crab so she loved this restaurant and was spoilt for choice.

Excellent crab, but the mains arrived before our starters had been cleared away and we then had to quickly order our wine for the meal, which had already arrived. Not a massive problem in the grand scheme of things, but for the prices you’re paying, you don’t expect them to get that wrong.

Amazing - splashed out for the king crab with bottomless prosecco. Such different flavours in the different parts of the crab. The accompanying dips and stunning crab cheese cake - wonderful.

Lovely restaurant with great decor. Friendly waitin staff and the crab is just delicious. We both had legs and it’s sweet and juicy. I also had a cocktail which was also lovely. Not cheapest of places but we’ll worth the spend!

Bat downstairs smelled so horrid and mouldy we couldn’t sit. Friend had allergy attack. Food was very average- soggy fried chicken! Chap for a reason. Not sure why it won any awards. No need to return

It was ok. Small portions. Overpriced. Triple cooked chips? More like frozen chips....brought mains course before we’d finished starters. No oysters, they’d run out. Better places to eat for the price.

Great restaurant. The staff were very helpful with the recommendations. Singapore chilli crab was the highlight. Pear tart and fondant chocolate were a nice way to round off the night.

Really enjoyed our lunch at Fancy Crab. Very relaxed atmosphere, great food (much prefer when the crab is cut for you so you enjoy the meat while still hot) and the waiter was very friendly and attentive

The food quality was good. Decor was very nice. However the portions sized were quite small for the price. As a result we left the restaurant not very satisfied

Great service and seafood. Lovely wine selection which wasn’t too pricey! We shared the premium platter, a starter and 4 extra oysters with a side of chips and it was plenty enough for the two of us for dinner! The crab crackers were amazing!

Great food, love the happy hour oysters, staff where friendly! Received a free bottle of wine as it was my partners birthday! Nice gesture. You have to try the Red King Crab, a little pricey but worth every bite. Absolutely amazing place! I’ll be back!

Really lovely staff and the crab was ok, but there is a strange smell in the restaurant which is quite off-putting and the crab is very expensive for what you get! Overall not great, but OK

This was a belated birthday for my 70 yr old mother, the staff, service and especially the food were all amazing. I would highly recommend this restaurant as the seafood and especially the crab were wonderful. I have reviewed many restaurants in many European cities and I can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. Enjoy Paul

Incredibly slow service - it took half an hour to get a drink! Never mind when we asked to move tables because we were seated next to the servers’ station and a pile of trays was digging into my friend’s arm - we asked no fewer than five people and never got a response.

Stunning. Amazing food. Crab bites and langoustines for starters. Cracked red crab grilled and red curry crab for mains. Chocolate fondant for dessert as they had run out of pear tarte tatin. But even that was amazing. Absolutely perfect cocktails - margaritas and apple martinis. The barman is a pro. We are coming back.

Great place and genuinely tasty food. Need to look at price to crab ratio though. Truth is the more you spend the less value for money. I would have been better off getting a crab burger or something of the like rather than the leg and shoulder as I basically paid an extra £12 - £15 for what was literally a bite or 2 of food more. Wouldn't complain about anything else though
