Great dining experience. It’s a bit expensive but totally worth it! The crablicious cocktail is recommended, just like the Singapore Spicy Crab. The service is also awesome

The service was excellent. The crabs we ordeted were tasty, but chips came with the crabs were not nice at all. Some chips in a plate were too hard to eat. The table near ours had chips ad well which looked much nicer, but we were unfortunately not served good tasty chips.

Great service, atmosphere and food was also really good - we sampled quite a few dishes and all were really well flavoured and the crab was very tasty. Would definitely recommend it.

Good food but definitely overpriced! The bread plate is a complete joke and needs to be changed quickly as I have seen so many complaints about it. 3 little pieces is not acceptable for 4 pounds! Nearly 90 pounds for 2 with no alcohol....

Service was fantastic, everything came out looking great (noticed everything that left the kitchen was checked which was re-assuring) and then tasted excellent. Overall a great evening, thanks.

Service was chaotic - plates arrived in the wrong order despite this being patiently explained to them how we wanted them delivered to the table. So the table got extremely full. The glasses of champagne which were ordered were in fact cremant which were sent back and supposedly replaced by champagne - still cremant! Charged for cremant on the bill. One of our guests wanted "a few" cockles to go with the octopus - given a whole starter of cockles. One other guest who had ordered the cockles was only served when everyone else had finished. The wine (£73 per bottle) description on the wine list didn't match that on the label, but the wine waiter was adamant it was the same one. One main course had so little king crab it was a joke and was replaced following a complaint. The kitchen staff preparing the food, were seen eating the crab as they prepared it - bare hands, no gloves. Bit worrying! All in all a very disappointing experience considering the price point and the location.

Interesting menu. Only a few tables when we arrived for a late lunch. Food was well presented and tasty. Service initially was good, but towards the end when staff finished shifts we were left unattended for periods with empty plates. They sat a table of 10 right behind us, so close we struggled to get out of our seats when there were lots of other empty tables where they could have sat them. Overall it was OK, but had potential to be so much more.

What a fabulous experience dining at this restaurant where I took my mum for an early Mother's Day evening meal after watching a show. The staff were so friendly (and funny) upon us entering and remained respectfully jovial throughout our meal. A lovely team working together. The food was outstanding and our server recommended what he thought my mum would like and what I would like. We went with his recommendation and my crab leg and shoulder was sweet, succulent, minus any shell and had already been removed from the shell but put back in for presentation. It couldn't have been easier to eat!! Mum had the crab curry which was creamy and plentiful. I have put pics of the restaurant on Facebook and can't wait to get my other friends there to dine. 10/10 Outstanding!

We went on the 50% off special offer and I am so glad we managed to try it out. One of the best seafood meals ever! We had langustin and crab cakes as a starter, then char-grilled crab leg and shoulder as the main. Everything’s full of flavour. The service was excellent and the food was too. However if it wasn't for the half price offer, this would have been a very expensive meal.

The restaurant is a great venue, excellently located. The service was excellent as was the food - Giant Red Crab leg and shoulder. Shared the cheesecake for dessert which I would have given a miss retrospectively.

Lovely staff & great food. The 50% off on the new menu made it particularly worthwhile. Singapore chilli crab was excellent value. The staff were particularly friendly and helpful. I really hope you succeed. Highly recommended.

My husband took me here for my birthday. Slightly tucked away behind oxford street with great interiors and most importantly - fresh seafood. I've been searching for a place like this and I'm so glad it's here. The crab meat is succulent and very fresh. Coming here again to try the soft shell crab bun
