    We love going to the River Crab for dinner. A bit of a drive for us but well worth it. The staff is always welcoming. Food and beverages always done right. Our server Rhonda makes date night a special occasion. If we have a question about the beverages or food menu Rhonda knowledge helps us with our decision. Already looking forward to next time.

    Butter squash soup is so flavorful and the fish is always perfectly prepared. Waiter was Michael, polite, respectful not intrusive and answered all our questions. The River Crab is our neighborhood hidden gem.
