Lovely fish and chips, good value for money. Some original touches, eg seaweed butter. Only negatives were disappointing mushy peas and unavailability of advertised 0% beer.

Good food and service. Was sitting near the 'open kitchen" so could see food getting prepped and cooked, but after a while the air became a bit smokey and irritated eyes so would benefit from a stronger extractor fan in the kitchen.

Great fresh seafood choice and welcoming friendly service. Good to be able to have Scottish sea food well prepared. Excellent espresso by the lady barista - a sign of a quality restaurant. Would suggest having frites not just thick chips and some lighter desserts e.g sorbets or a quality home made dark chocolate ice cream with sea salt, like the Fish Shop in Ballater, where we are from.

Seafood platter not available as no crab, this was this reason we visited. Name is crab and lobster shack so a bit ironic no crab! Some of our group opted for steak which was very fatty and chewy and to be honest we’ve had better steaks elsewhere, some of steak left for this reason. Service was ok but felt we were constantly asked by different waiters if everything ok which we felt wasn’t necessary and then empty bottles and glasses collected without waiter speaking a word. Waiter actually stood whilst one of our party finished his dessert so we felt rushed and thought this was rude. Overall quality of good wasn’t worth the price we paid, £250 for party if 4! Wouldn’t return to be honest as really disappointed

Lovely meal at the Crab and Lobster, service was prompt, polite and efficient. Only small criticism would be no need to ask if everything all right quite so often it was a bit much.
