King Crab Oyster Bar & Grill

In my rating, I noted that I liked" the value of the food. I rarely dine out on seafood

Great food and service for us.

I can make better seafood at home. $50 for a small piece of crab. Pathetic. Never going back. RIP OFF.Red Lobster is better, and cheaper.

We are often at King Crab. There is a lovely, comfortable atmosphere. The sevice is fantastic and attentive without being intrusive. And the food is absolutely stellar! It is a treat to go and we treat ourselves often!

Service was good. We were greeted promptly and seated where we wanted to sit. We mentioned we had a groupon to the host and he stated he would inform our server. The server was pleasant and helpful up until the bill. Ordered calamari appetizer which was offered at half price. Breading was a little soggy but the calamari was tender. Main course was Monk fish wrapped in prosciutto on potato corn and pepper hash. All you could taste was pork flavor which is unfortunate when the Monk fish should be the star of the show. The potatoes were OK but the corn and peppers were burnt and that overpowered everything. There was some sort of sauce but so little that it didn't taste like much. The other entree was jambalaya which was OK no complaint but nothing spectacular. When the bill came the appetizer was full price. I asked and was told this didn't apply with the groupon. Why would I be offered a half price appetizer knowing I had a groupon? The bill for an app, two entrees and one drink was over $80. Based on the combination of poor food and service at a premium price I wouldn't recommend eating here.

Ordered a 9oz Fillet and it came out 11+. Cooked to perfection. Perfectly shucked oysters without any residue of shell. Crab dip small but authentic. Amazing deals on Mon,Tue,Wed.

Was expecting a different quality of food and atmosphere. Too much pasta and not enough lobster for the price for example. Haven't been back in 3 years.

We found the restaurant online and were extremely please with our overall experience. We were greeted by our friendly host, seated immediately. Our waiter was attentive without being instrusive and knowledgeable. The food was outstanding! The king crab was perfectly cooked and the truffle infused mac'n'cheese was awesome! They actually had my favourite wine on the menu, which never happens. The pickerel was very good as well. We shared dessert, a chocolate, espresso raspberry creme brulee. Fabulous!!

One of the best fillet mignons in town and profession service.

First of all excellent efficient service, and a very nice waitress who we tipped well. Unfortunately one comes here to a high priced restaurant for the food, not the service. The ambiance is frankly non existent. For these prices I at least expect linen on the tables. I notice alot of reviews rave about the service and not so much the food!!It was a birthday celebration. We shared the Oysters Rockefeller to start - they were okay - nothing special and over priced at $20. considering the oysters are TINY. Then we had the Caesar's salad. My partner liked it, I did not. It was far too lemony for my taste. Some slices of rye bread were presented along with a dish of oil and balsamic vinegar. UGH. We tried it and set it aside requesting some butter. The bread had been around for several days, I'm guessing, as the crust was like hard tack - inedible.For the mains we had Lobster Alfredo (no longer on the menu, but they made it anyway) and the Surf and Turf. The Pasta was quite good, just an average size serving. The surf and turf was another story. The lobster was not completely cooked all over and so there were some raw parts - nasty and slimy. It was steamed, nothing fancy. Better like that I guess than overcooked and rubbery but with the number they prepare you would expect them to do it blindfolded. The turf - Advertised as a strip loin, French cut - Well, it was NOT a French cut strip loin as I pointed out. It was more like a large thick hunk of sirloin. There was zero marbling and so it lacked flavour, it was also chewy when it should have been tender. It was ordered medium rare and to give you some idea at least a good half inch of the outside was grey without a hint of pink. Only the very centre was dark pink. Did I say overcooked? The strip loins we buy at the supermarket are far superior to what I was served and the entire plate was heavily salted. The sweet potatoe wedges were very nice except for the two pieces that were undercooked. The vegetables - I LOVE vegetables and go for them first, were so under cooked you could not even get a fork into the carrots or parsnips.Dessert was the Hazelnut brownie. It was okay if you don't mind paying $8.00 for an overly sweet chocolate brownie (cold not warmed) with a thimbleful of vanilla ice cream.This restaurant is so over rated it isn't even funny. I doubt we will ever go back. It's Monday tonight and there was a 30% off special, so it helped make up for the lack of quality. Interestingly there were only 4 tables including ours with customers, and they were all deuces. (2 people). The restaurant was mainly empty. High prices and NOT fine dining!! Since King Street Trio is owned by the same people, I doubt we will ever risk that one either.
