This is where upper middle class people eat because they have extra money from buying a Toyota instead of splurging on a Porsche. They need a place to dump their money on something mediocre it seems. Our service was pretty good, and thus the second star, but the food was average at best especially considering the price. My wife's seafood pasta smelled and tasted like BURNING PLASTIC (to me anyway, she just thought it was extra salty)! I did like that they had a several seafood options I haven't been able to find elsewhere, but I guess that's why they charge the high prices. Happy Hour is ONLY AVAILABLE AT ONE HALF OF THE RESTAURANT EVEN THOUGH THE ADVERTISING LEADS YOU TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE! I saw the sign in the attached pic, so I figured I'd order the beer on happy hour special. NOPE! Full price ($12 instead of $4). They also have the gumption to ADVERTISE FOR HAPPY HOUR IN A FLYER WHEN THEY GIVE YOU THE BILL even though you just ate on the "fine dining" side instead of the "casual bar" where you can supposedly ACTUALLY get happy hour. The waiter and hostess explained it to me exactly like this. But their advertising on the street AND AT THE DOOR say "Crab Catcher Restaurant" at the top and immediately go into Happy Hour deals. No distinction between the "two halves" of the business with two different systems. Others have commented on this oddity. False advertising and mediocre food. Tourist trap at best, dishonest business owners at worst. Go to Duke's just down the street instead, or literally across the street for sushi or Thai and spend 1/3 the money.
