Excellent first visit. Good food and drink in attractive surroundings served by enthusiastic staff.
Great food and service .. like seafood this is the place especially the oysters
Was our first visit here. Will definitely be back. Lovely food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere.
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.
Resturant was lovely, few things missing on menu, apart from that, service and food was amazing. We will be back. Thank you.
Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.
Excellent service and good value the food was very good
It’s a place full of easy and relax vibes which is perfect for family dining. The prices on the menu are reasonable & affordable. I would recommend it and willing to come back again if I have chances.
Service was slightly slow but worth the wait. Food was great and atmosphere great, very nice restaurant.
A great range of seafood in pleasant surroundings. Well worth a visit!
Lovely polite staff. Great meal. Will definitely be back again.
Not particularly happy staff and flies at the window where we having a meal with the kids due to the entrance door permanently open asked for another table however unable to move so had to put up with swatting flies. No apology
Great food , friendly service and nice vibe. Will definitely be back
Nice lovely meal .. well worth it.. will definitely be back
Good service and excellent food in a very nice restaurant
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
A fantastic experience. Delicious food. We will be back. Looking forward to clock and collect too!
Delicious Cullen Skink and mussels. Helpful staff. Lovely, calm blue decor.
First time here , food and service first class, would highly recommend .
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.
Lovely amazing place, with friendly staff, Spotlessly clean, food was amazing, Will definitely be back
First time at The Crab & Lobster certainly won’t be the last, Food & Service was excellent, Will be recommending to friends & Family.
1st visit but will be back. Tempura oysters and lobster to die for. Hubby had scallops & Singapore soft shell crab thought they were amazing
Absolutely delicious, staff are great and really friendly, no crab today but thankfully mum wanted the monk fish special if not she would have been disappointed. Apart from that we couldn't fault it 👌🏽
Brilliant loved it the fish quality was lovely and served was great
Excellent service, food amazing and a great atmosphere. Will be back soon.
Fabulously tasty fish with crispy batter. Chips were amazing and tartare sauce was sublime.
Great front of House. Good vibes, good food. Will return!
Beautifully cooked monkfish as a special of the day - delicious. The gluten free battered haddock was great too. Nice laid back atmosphere with friendly staff.
Good service lovely food, great atmosphere been a couple of times now didn’t disappoint 👍

Visited on Wednesday 16th July for lunch with a friend. Food was good as was the service. I would thoroughly recommend the Monkfish if it is available.
Scallops delicious, Haddock fabulous, service swift and very friendly… superb

Thoroughly enjoyed a Friday lunch out with friends at the Crab & Lobster. New to us and found a beautiful restaurant with very friendly and helpful staff plus the food which was delicious. Will be back soon.

Delicious food and 5 star service. Would defo go back.
Lovely food and service was good. Second time this week. 😁
only slight complaint was my daughter found the fish and chips a little too salty
Staff and service excellent. Food also excellent. Would definitely recommend a visit.
Lovely restaurant, great service, tasty food. Need to get gluten free bread in the freezer - Tesco is just over the road!
Love the refurbishment, very relaxing atmosphere and helpful friendly staff. Fish and chips were excellent and I loved the fresh side salad. My friend asked for her haddock to be breaded as it wasn’t on the menu and it was no problem at all. I understand that this option will be added to their menu but for now, they were very happy to oblige. Will definitely be back to try something different next time!
