The Crab Pot Restaurant & Bar is a fun and casual restaurant specializing in delicious seafood. What makes this particular restaurant famous is its incredible Seafeast. There are five different varieties of Seafeasts but they all have one thing in common: giant steamed buckets of seafood that are dumped directly onto the table. The most popular is The Alaskan which comes with King crab, Snow crab, Dungeness crab, steamed clams, shrimp, Pacific mussels, andouille sausage, red potatoes and corn on the cob. For those looking for a more traditional entrée, the Crab Pot has a wide variety of options. The rest of the menu is made up of fried seafood, grilled seafood, chicken, burgers and sandwiches. While the seafood options are delicious, there are plenty of beef and chicken dishes as well like the colossal bacon cheeseburger and grilled chicken with seasonal vegetables.

We had a part of 16. The Crab Pot was very accomadating. We had planned to be outside but it started raining. They put us inside quickly and were ready when guest arrived. Our server was pleasant and helpful with the menu and just about anything else we asked. Overall everyone enjoyed the meal and the outside bar and firepit after dinner.

My food was good which was the crab. My daughter s steak was rare and she ordered it well done. My waiter was not good. I asked him 3 times to cut the heater on and he never did. Also, I had to ask other staff for things because he was missing in action.

Crab Pot has great ambiance. Surrounded by the ocean and yachts what's not to like. I don't care for the fact that only a section of the outside dining is dedicated for Happy Hour but the food was delicious and promptly served.

We had evening reservations, which were not needed. There was no one there. We were the only patrons inside the main restaurant. Our server David was great very attentive. We were in and out in no time the food was great. It was nice for the restaurant not being loud and crowde.
I would definitely recommend!

Went to the Crab Pot with my two sons and one of their girlfriend's and it was great time with a beautiful sunset and a welcoming patio dining experience next to the boats of the marina. The hostess and server were both very friendly, accommodating and attentive. The bucket of food was laid in front of us on the table prepared with paper after each of us had our yummy clam chowder. The food was ample and wonderfully prepared and the overall experience worth every dollar. I will certainly be back.

All the seafood in the cioppino was very dry.
The seafood pasta too salty and had too much capers.
The Alaskan halibut dry and rubbery
Very surprise to see such location serving the food in such standards.

The ambiance was very nice, food taste good. The sea food boil could use some more seasoning. Other than that it was ok.
