I recently moved into the 11101 zip and I just LOVE it here. Our family left Manhattan last year & we have had a ball visiting all the shops and restaurants in LIC & the crabhouse did not disappoint us at all. It is family friendly with a childrens menu & they give the kids crayons and a placmat to draw on (let the hostess know if you need a hichair since they are limited & putting a stroller in busy isle is not smart !! fyi). My husband had oysters and clams for a starter and they were seriously fresh, my sister started off with spicy shrimp and that to was great as well as scooping up the sauce with garlic bread ! for dinner i had cut up lobster in black bean sauce...if i was not in public i would have licked the plate ! my husband had the sirloin and said it was like butta' & my sis had king crab legs that were huge and the most delicious thing i have tasted. & my brother in law had the Garlic crabs, that to was fresh with a great buttery sauce. We had a pitcher of Sangira, ok we had 2 but we were walking. Last week my husband and I got out w/o the kids and we sat outside ( first come first serve outside) had a bottle of wine, oysters, clams and king crab legs it was so relaxing !!! cant wait to go back.\r
friendly staff, fresh seafood, tender steaks all at fair prices. Note: this place gets busy on the weekends so make a reservation or just relax at the bar, have a drink and wait for your table or just eat at the bar ! either way put this one on your ""go-to"" list for the summer.\r
Pros: laid back, comfortable, friendly, fresh seafood
Cons: long wait with out a reservation
