Restaurants near Essex Yacht Harbor

We were a party of 2. The hostess did not have our reservation however I had a confirmation email. I was quoted an incorrect price for the blue crabs. No adjustments were made to our bill. The waiter was apologetic, very nice & efficient & attentive. Blue crabs were amazing as expected, but corn & potatoes were lukewarm warm and not well seasoned. This was my 3rd visit to the restaurant and twice I had issues either my bill. I cannot complain about food quality & freshness . I’ll be back. P. S. Management should be more accommodating to the customers

We had reservations, but the place was overcrowded, and we had to wait about an hour and a half to be seated. The entrance was packed, the line was out the door. We had our parents with us who are both 87 yrs old. They had to stand up for the entire wait to be seated. It was Christmas Eve, so that might have been the reason for the excessive wait. After we were seated, our server was prompt, polite, and quick to serve our needs. The only thing is there seemed to be a disarray in the kitchen. Our server went to get us the dinner rolls three times, and they never arrived, so no rolls with our dinner. Our appetizers were served quickly, but there was a very long wait for our dinner. The server was wonderful, and she did apologize several times for the delays. Overall, the food was delicious, and the only thing not so great was all of the waiting. Our entire meal with waiting took us over three and half hour to dine.

The best crab house around!

Amazing staff! Beautiful setting. Cozy and fun for cool fall evening….but I can see all seasons being so perfect here. They had live music that was wonderful. Food and drinks delicious! All the stars. Will definitely be back!

Love the crabs! My children when in visiting want to stop in and our server Charles Snyder was awesome!
