Four of us who enjoy good food visited Nantucket and wanted some good seafood by the water. We went to Cru Oyster Bar since it looked inviting, was right on the water and attractively appointed. The decor was very nice and bright and the service was good. The food however was, in short, terrible. I ordered the soft shell crab sandwich. It came out battered and deep fried and honestly I could not tell what was inside, whether it was crab, fish or nothing. All I tasted was thick, deep fried batter. I don't even remember seeing that it was deep fried and battered on the menu. The bread was utterly tasteless. There was no saving grace to this dish. My husband and friend ordered the flounder sandwich which was on more tasteful bread, but although the sandwich looked large, there was one very small piece of fish on one side of the sandwich. The rest was filled with red cabbage. Needless to say, we were highly disappointed and left unsatisfied and taken advantage of. I don't often write reviews but I am so angered and disappointed about this meal that I made a special effort to do so. Until then, it had been a lovely day.
